Federal Travel Regulation; Maximum Per Diem Rates

To improve the ability of the per diem rates to meet the lodging demands of Federal travelers to high cost travel locations, the General Services Administration (GSA) has integrated the contracting mechanism of the new Federal Premier Lodging Program (FPLP) into the per diem rate-setting process. An analysis of FPLP contracting actions and the lodging rate survey data reveals that the maximum per diem rate for the State of New York, city (borough) of Manhattan, should be increased and the maximum per diem rate for the State of New York, city (boroughs) of The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, should be decreased to provide for the reimbursement of Federal employees' lodging expenses covered by per diem rates. This final rule adjusts the maximum lodging amounts in the prescribed areas.
