SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    After an analysis of the per diem rates established for FY 2009 
(see the Federal Register notice at 73 FR 46271, August 8, 2008), the 
per diem rate is being changed in the following locations:

State of Idaho

     Boundary County.
     Bonner County.
     Teton County.
     Bonneville County.
     Fremont County.

State of Maryland

     Frederick County.

State of South Carolina

     Lexington County.
    Per diem rates are published on the Internet at http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem as FTR per diem bulletins. 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.

    Dated: March 17, 2009.
Becky Rhodes,
Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Travel, Transportation and 
Asset Management.
