A. Background

After an analysis of the per diem rates established for FY 2010 (see the Federal Register notice at 74 FR 42898, August 25, 2009, and FTR Bulletin 10-01), the per diem rate is being changed in the following locations:

State of Kansas

• Leavenworth County.

State of New Mexico

• Dona Ana County.

State of New York

• Oswego County.

State of Rhode Island

• Bristol County.

State of Texas

• Midland County.

Per diem rates are published on the Internet at 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.
