[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 226 (Thursday, November 21, 1996)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 59185-59198] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-29768] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION 41 CFR Ch. 301 [FTR Amendment 52] RIN 3090-AF98 Federal Travel Regulation; Maximum Per Diem Rates AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, GSA. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: An analysis of lodging and meal cost survey data reveals that the listing of maximum per diem rates for locations within the continental United States (CONUS) should be undated to provide for the reimbursement of Federal employees' expenses covered by per diem. This final rule increases the standard CONUS maximum per diem rate from $66 to $80, which represents a $10 increase in the maximum lodging amount, and a $4 increase in the meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) rate. This rule also increases/decreases the maximum lodging and M&IE amounts in certain existing per diem localities; removes the $26 M&IE rate. This rule also adds one additional M&IE rate of $42 for certain per diem localities; and adds new per diem localities, deletes a number of previously designated per diem localities because of the increased lodging amount in the standard CONUS rate, and changes the table in Sec. 301-7.12(a)(2)(i) to reflect the additional M&IE rate of $42 for use when making deductions from meals furnished an employee without charge or at a nominal cost by the Federal Government. DATES: This final rule is effective on January 1, 1997, and applies for travel performed on or after January 1, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joddy P. Garner, Travel and Transportation Management Policy Division (MTT), Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-1538. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The General Services Administration has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993. This final rule is not required to be published in the Federal Register for notice and comment. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply. This rule also is exempt from congressional review prescribed under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and personnel.

[[Page 59198]] \4\ Federal agencies may submit a request to GSA for review of the costs covered by per diem in a particular city or area where the standard CONUS rate applies when travel to that location is repetitive or on a continuing basis and travelers' experiences indicate that the prescribed rate is inadequate. Other per diem localities listed in this appendix will be reviewed on an annual basis by GSA to determine whether rates are adequate. Requests for per diem rate adjustments shall be submitted by the agency headquarters office to the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy, Attn: Travel and Transportation Management Policy Division (MTT), Washington, DC 20405. Agencies should designate an individual responsible for reviewing, coordinating, and submitting to GSA any requests from bureaus or subagencies. Requests for rate adjustments shall include a city designation, a description of the surrounding location involved (county or other defined area), and a recommended rate supported by a statement explaining the circumstances that cause the existing rate to be inadequate. The request also must contain an estimate of the annual number of trips to the location, the average duration of such trips, and the primary purpose of travel to the locations. Agencies should submit their requests to GSA no later than May 1 in order for a city to be included in the annual review. Dated: November 15, 1996. Thurman M.
