# 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.
