GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
41 CFR Chapter 301
RIN 3090-AG98
[FTR Amendment 82]
Federal Travel Regulation; Maximum Per Diem Rates in Colorado,
Georgia, and New York
AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, GSA.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR)
Amendment 75, as corrected, published in the Federal Register on
Wednesday, February 10, 1999 (64 FR 6550), to increase the maximum
lodging amounts in the States of Colorado, Georgia and New York.
DATES: This final rule is effective May 27, 1999, and applies to travel
performed on or after May 27, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Harte, Office of Governmentwide
Policy, Travel and Transportation Management Policy Division, at 202-
501-1538.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The General Services Administration (GSA), after an analysis of
additional data, has determined that current lodging allowances for the
localities of Adams County (Adams County), Denver (Denver County), and
Jefferson County (Jefferson County), Colorado; Cobb County (Cobb
County) and DeKalb County (DeKalb County), Georgia; and Nassau County
(Nassau County) and Suffolk County (Suffolk County), New York, do not
adequately reflect the cost of lodging in those areas. To provide
adequate per diem reimbursement for Federal employee travel to those
areas, the maximum lodging allowances are changed. Also, under the
State of New York, the per diem localities of Great Neck and Nassau
County are revised to more clearly define the applicable county and/or
other defined location.
B. Executive Order 12866
GSA has determined that this final rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 of
September 30, 1993.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
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.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the final rule
does not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements,
or the collection of information from offerors, contractors, or members
of the public which require the approval of the Office of Management
and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 501 et seq.
E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is also exempt from congressional review prescribed
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and
personnel.
