Federal Travel Regulation; Reimbursement of Higher Actual Subsistence Expenses for Official Travel to Per Diem Localities Impacted by the 1996 Atlanta, Georgia, Olympic Games

요약

The attached bulletin informs agencies of several additions to the special actual subsistence expense ceilings described in GSA Bulletin FTR 19 (61 FR 28211, June 4, 1996) for official travel to certain localities due to the escalation of lodging rates during the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. The Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Justice, and Transportation requested establishment of the increased rates to accommodate employees who perform temporary duty in either of the States of Georgia and Tennessee in areas not covered in GSA Bulletin FTR 19 and who experience a temporary but significant increase in lodging costs due to the escalation of lodging rates during the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. These additions are in Georgia: Athens area (Clarke County), Columbus area (Muscogee County), Conyers area (Rockdale County), Gainesville and Lake Lanier Island areas (Hall County), and McDonough area (Henry County); and in Tennessee: Benton, Ococee, and Parksville areas (Polk County), Chattanooga area (Hamilton County), and Cleveland area (Bradley County).
