Subsistence Expenses for Official Travel to Augusta, Georgia and

ACTION: Notice of bulletins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The attached bulletins inform agencies of the establishment of
a special actual subsistence expense ceiling for official travel to
Augusta (Richmond County), Georgia and Oshkosh (Winnebago County),
Wisconsin. The Secretary of Transportation (DOT) requested
establishment of the increased rates to accommodate employees who
perform temporary duty in either of the two localities and who
experience a temporary but significant increase in lodging costs due to
the escalation of lodging rates during the annual Masters Golf
Tournament in Augusta, or the annual Experimental Aircraft Association
Convention and Show in Oshkosh.
EFFECTIVE DATES: This special rate is applicable to claims for
reimbursement covering travel to Augusta, Georgia during the period
April 3 through April 9, 1995; and to Oshkosh, Wisconsin during the
period July 22 through August 5, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane E. Groat, General Services
Administration, Transportation Management Division (FBX), Washington,
DC 20406, telephone 703-305-5745.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrator of General Services,
pursuant to 41 CFR 301-8.3(c) and at the official request of the
Secretary of Transportation, has increased the maximum daily amount of
reimbursement that may be approved for actual and necessary subsistence
expenses for official travel to Augusta (Richmond County), Georgia for
travel during the period April 3 through April 9, 1995, and to Oshkosh
(Winnebago County), Wisconsin for travel during the period July 22
through August 5, 1995. The attached GSA Bulletins FTR 14 and 15 are

Attachment 1
[GSA Bulletin FTR 14]
April 7, 1995
To: Heads of Federal agencies
Subject: Reimbursement of higher actual subsistence expenses for
official travel to Augusta (Richmond County), Georgia
1. Purpose. This bulletin informs agencies of the establishment of
a special actual subsistence expense ceiling for official travel to
Augusta (Richmond County), Georgia, due to the escalation of lodging
rates during the annual Masters Golf Tournament held there. This
special rate applies to claims for reimbursement covering travel during
the period April 3, 1995, through April 9, 1995.
2. Background. The Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) (41 CFR chapters
301-304) part 301-8 permits the Administrator of General Services to
establish a higher maximum daily rate for the reimbursement of actual
subsistence expenses of Federal employees on official travel to an area
within the continental United States. The head of an agency may request
establishment of such a rate when special or unusual circumstances
result in an extreme increase in subsistence costs for a temporary
period. The Secretary of Transportation (DOT) requested establishment
of such a rate for Augusta to accommodate employees who perform
temporary duty there and experience a temporary but significant
increase in lodging costs due to the escalation of lodging rates during
the annual Masters Golf Tournament. These circumstances justify the
need for higher subsistence expense reimbursement in Augusta during the
designated period.
3. Maximum rate and effective date. The Administrator of General
Services, pursuant to 41 CFR 301-8.3(c), has increased the maximum
daily amount of reimbursement that may be approved for actual and
necessary subsistence expenses for official travel to Augusta (Richmond
County), Georgia for travel during the period April 3, 1995, through
April 9, 1995. Agencies may approve actual subsistence expense
reimbursement not to exceed $210 ($184 maximum for lodging and a $26
allowance for meals and incidental expenses) for official travel to
Augusta (Richmond County), Georgia, during this time period.
