SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

After an analysis of the per diem rates established for FY 2013 (see the Federal Register notice at 77 FR 54578, September 5, 2012, and FTR Bulletin 13-01), non-standard area per diem rates are being established for the following locations:

State of Oklahoma

• Garfield County

State of Texas

• Midland County

CONUS per diem rates are published as FTR per diem bulletins available on the Internet at www.gsa.gov/​perdiem and www.gsa.gov/​bulletins. This process ensures timely notice of 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 22, 2013.
