## Background Information

\(A\) After an analysis of the per diem rates established for FY 2007,
GSA has determined that current per diem rates for certain localities do
not adequately reflect the cost of lodging and meals and incidental
expenses in those areas.

\(B\) Per diem rates are published on the Internet at
[www.gsa.gov/perdiem]{.underline} as an FTR Per Diem Bulletin and
published in the [Federal Register]{.underline} on a periodic basis.
This bulletin effectuates notice of a revision in the per diem rates
prescribed by the Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) for the
continental United States (CONUS). Per Diem Bulletins published
periodically in the [Federal Register]{.underline} now constitute the
only notification of revisions in CONUS per diem rates to agencies.
These are the changes constituted by this Bulletin:

States (CONUS) by Federal Government employees as prescribed in FTR Per
