Abstract: The Retail Price Schedule is the primary source of information used by the DOS in establishing and justifying Post (Cost of Living) Allowances for all Federal civilian employees assigned abroad. The data gathered are also used by the DOD to establish Cost of Living Allowances for Uniformed Services Personnel assigned abroad. This coordinated use avoids duplication of price collection work in foreign areas where different government agencies have legislative or administrative responsibilities.
