Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 154 / Friday, August 8, 2008 / Notices 46271 

(2) Provide an electronic copy of any 

interference analysis to the third-party 

database manager which demonstrates 

that the potential for harmful 

interference to or from all previously 

registered non-government links has 

been analyzed according to the 

standards of section 101.105 and 

generally accepted good engineering 

practice, and that the proposed nongovernment link will neither cause 

harmful interference to, nor receive 

harmful interference from, any 

previously registered non-government 

link; and 

(3) Provide upon request any 

information related to the interference 

analysis and the corresponding link. 

The third-party database managers shall 

receive and retain the interference

interference from other links shall be 

granted to first-in-time registered links. 

Successful completion of coordination 

via the NTIA automated mechanism 

shall constitute successful non-Federal 

Government to Federal Government 

coordination for that individual link. 

The license term is ten years, 

beginning on the date of the initial 

authorization (nationwide license) 

grant. Registering links will not change 

the overall renewal period of the 

license. The recordkeeping, reporting, 

and third party disclosure requirements 

will be used by the Commission to 

verify licensee compliance with 

Commission rules and regulations, and 

to ensure that licensees continue to 

fulfill their statutory responsibilities in 

accordance with the Communications 

Act of 1934. Such information has been 

used in the past and will continue to be 

used to minimize interference, and 

verify that applicants are legally and 

technically qualified to hold licenses.

BILLING CODE 6730–01–P 

GENERAL SERVICES 

ADMINISTRATION 

Maximum Per Diem Rates for the 

Continental United States (CONUS) 

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide 

Policy, General Services Administration 

(GSA). 

ACTION: Notice of Per Diem Bulletin 09–

01, Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 continental 

United States (CONUS) per diem rates. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration’s (GSA’s) annual per 

diem review has resulted in lodging and 

meal allowance changes for locations 

within the continental United States 

(CONUS) to provide for the 

reimbursement of Federal employees’

expenses covered by per diem. Per Diem 

Bulletin 09–01 updates the maximum 

per diem amounts in existing per diem 

localities. The CONUS per diem rates 

prescribed in Bulletin 09–01 may be 

found at http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem. 

GSA based the lodging per diem rates 

on the average daily rate that the 

lodging industry reports. The use of 

such data in the per diem rate setting 

process enhances the Government’s 

ability to obtain policy compliant 

lodging where it is needed. In 

conjunction with the annual lodging 

study, GSA identified two new nonstandard areas; Fayetteville, North 

Carolina (Cumberland) and 

Fredericksburg, Virginia (City of 

Fredericksburg), which prompted an out 

of cycle meal survey for these areas. 

For a complete listing of pertinent 

information that must be submitted 

through a Federal executive agency for 

GSA to restudy a location, or if a 

CONUS or standard CONUS per diem 

rate is insufficient to meet necessary 

expenses, please review numbers 4 and 

5 of our per diem Frequently Asked 

Questions at http://www.gsa.gov/

perdiemfaqs. 

DATES: This notice is effective October 

1, 2008, and applies for travel 

performed on or after October 1, 2008 

through September 30, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

clarification of content, contact Mr. Cy 

Greenidge, Office of Governmentwide 

Policy, Office of Travel, Transportation, 

and Asset Management, at (202) 219–

2349, or by e-mail at http:// 

www.gsa.gov/perdiemquestions. Please 

cite Notice of Per Diem Bulletin 09–01. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

After an analysis of current data, GSA 

has determined that current lodging 

rates for certain localities do not 

adequately reflect the lodging 

economics in those areas. GSA used the 

same methodology for establishing the 

FY 2009 per diem rates as they did 

when establishing the FY 2008 rates. 

B. Change in Standard Procedure 

GSA issues/publishes the CONUS per 

diem rates, formerly published in 

Appendix A to 41 CFR Chapter 301, 

solely on the Internet at http:// 

www.gsa.gov/perdiem. This process, 

implemented in 2003, ensures more 

timely changes 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.
