GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
41 CFR Chapter 301
[FTR Amendment 85]
RIN 3090-AH06
Federal Travel Regulation; Maximum Per Diem Rates in California,
Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia
AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, GSA.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR)
Amendment 75, as corrected, published in the Federal Register on
Wednesday, February 10, 1999 (64 FR 6550), to combine, add, and remove
certain localities and increase the maximum lodging amounts in the
States of California, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Utah, and
Virginia.
DATES: This final rule is effective July 19, 1999, and applies to
travel performed on or after July 19, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Harte, Office of Governmentwide
Policy, Travel and Transportation Management Policy Division, at 202-
501-1538 .
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The General Services Administration (GSA), after an analysis of
additional data, has determined that current lodging allowances for the
localities of San Diego, San Luis Obispo, and Los Angeles, California;
Chicago, Illinois; Belle Mead, New Jersey; Durham and Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina; Ogden, Utah; and Londoun County, Virginia, do not
adequately reflect the cost of lodging in those areas. To provide
adequate per diem reimbursement for Federal employee travel to those
areas, the maximum lodging allowances are changed. Also, the per diem
localities of Orange County, California; Durham and Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina; and Ogden and Davis County, Utah, are revised.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule is not required to be published in the Federal
Register for notice and comment; therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility
Act does not apply.
C. Executive Order 12866
GSA has determined that this final rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 of
September 30, 1993.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the final rule
does not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements,
or the collection of information from offerors, contractors, or members
of the public which require the approval of the Office of Management
and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 501 et seq.
E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is also exempt from congressional review prescribed
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and
personnel.
