Yes. A General Schedule employee in an approved DETO arrangement is not entitled to locality pay because locality pay is not authorized for any foreign location. Locality pay area definitions and pay tables are found at: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/. For more information on DETO arrangements, see https://www.telework.gov/guidance-legislation/telework-guidance/overseas-telework/.
