Report title: Intermittent Survey of

Agency form number: FR 1374 

OMB control number: 7100–0302 

Frequency: Biweekly and

General description of report: This 

information collection is voluntary (12 

U.S.C. §§ 225a and 263) and is given 

confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(4)). 

Abstract: The survey data are used by 

the Federal Reserve to gather 

information specifically tailored to the 

Federal Reserve’s policy and operational 

responsibilities. It is necessary to 

conduct the survey biweekly to keep up 

with the rapidly changing developments 

in the economy and to provide timely 

information to staff and Board members. 

Usually, the surveys are conducted by 

staff economists telephoning purchasing 

managers, economists, or other 

knowledgeable individuals at selected, 

relevant businesses. The frequency and 

content of the questions, and the 

businesses contacted would vary 

depending on changing developments 

in the economy.

3, revised continental United States 

(CONUS) per diem rates.

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration (GSA) has reviewed the 

lodging rates of certain locations in the 

States of Colorado, Florida and Texas 

and determined that they are 

inadequate. The per diems prescribed in 

Bulletin 05–3 may be found at http://

www.gsa.gov/perdiem.

DATES: This notice is effective December 

17, 2004 and applies to travel performed 

on or after December 27, 2004.

Diem Bulletin 05–3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

After an analysis of the per diem rates 

established for FY 2005 (see the Federal 

Register notices at 69 FR 53071, August 

31, 2004, and 69 FR 60152, October 7, 

2004), the per diem rate is being 

changed in the following locations: 

State of Colorado 

• City of Aurora 

State of Florida 

• Brevard County 

State of Texas 

• Dallas County 

B. Procedures 

Per diem rates are published on the 

Internet at www.gsa.gov/perdiem as an 

FTR Per Diem Bulletin and published in 

the Federal Register on a periodic basis. 

This process ensures timely increases or 

decreases in per diem rates established 

by GSA for Federal employees on 

official travel within CONUS. Notices 

published periodically in the Federal 

Register, such as this one, now 

constitute the only notification of 

revisions in CONUS per diem rates to 

agencies.
