SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The General Services Administration (GSA), after an analysis of 
additional data, is revising previous entries and adding new entries 
that were inadvertently omitted from FTR Amendment 97 published as Part 
II in the Federal Register of Friday, August 31, 2001 (66 FR 46070). 
This final rule revises the key city for Pontiac/Troy, Michigan, and 
the county and/or other defined locations for Denver, Colorado; Anoka 
County, Minnesota; Harrisburg and Hershey, Pennsylvania; and Sturgis, 
South Dakota. This final rule further adds new per diem city/county 
localities and rates for Dinwiddie County, Hopewell, Petersburg, and 
Prince George County, Virginia. In addition, this final rule revises 
footnote four (4) of the per diem rate table.

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, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., does not apply.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this 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.
