SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    After an analysis of the per diem rates established for FY 2004 
(see the Federal Register notice at 68 FR 52035), the per diem rate is 
being changed in the following locations:

State of Montana

    <> Butte, including Silver Bow County,
    <> Missoula, including Missoula County,
    <> Polson/Kalispell, including Lake and Flathead 
Counties.

State of New York

    <> Schenectady, including Schenectady County.

State of Ohio

    <> Fairborn, including City limits of Fairborn.

State of Texas

    <> Killeen, including Bell County.

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.

    Dated: April 12, 2004.

Deputy Associate Administrator.
