Federal Travel Regulation; Maximum Per Diem Rates

الملخص

This final rule amends the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) to make certain changes to the maximum per diem rates published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. This rule adds Great Neck as a new per diem locality in New York and increases the maximum lodging amount in Fort Worth, Texas. The General Services Administration (GSA), after an analysis of additional data, has determined that current lodging allowances for Great Neck (that part of Nassau County defined as the North Shore (up to and including Great Neck to the West and Oyster Bay to the East)), New York, and for Fort Worth (City limits of Fort Worth), Texas, do not adequately reflect the cost of lodging in those areas. To provide adequate per diem reimbursement for Federal employee travel to Great Neck, New York, the maximum lodging allowance is $190 and the meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) rate is $42, resulting in a maximum per diem rate of $232. The maximum lodging allowance for the City of Fort Worth, Texas, is changed to $94 and the M&IE rate remains at $38, resulting in a maximum per diem rate of $132.
