B. Procedures

    Per diem rates are published on the Internet at www.gsa.gov/perdiem 
as an FTR Per Diem Bulletin and published in the Federal Register on a 
periodic basis. This process ensures timely increases or decreases in 
per diem rates established by GSA for Federal employees on official 
travel within CONUS. Notices published periodically in the Federal 
Register, such as this one, now constitute the only notification of 
revisions in CONUS per diem rates to agencies.
