A. Background
As a result of the catastrophic
destruction caused by Hurricane Rita,
GSA is announcing GSA Bulletin FTR
05–07. Agencies should consider
delaying all non-essential TDY and
relocation to the affected locations for a
period of 90 days. This is especially
important with relocation travel because
the 120-day maximum for TQSE cannot
be extended due to statutory
restrictions. While in the past, GSA has
limited application of such waivers to
Presidentially Declared Disaster Areas,
in the case of Hurricane Rita, the
widespread devastation coupled with
the extensive evacuation of urban areas
means that we cannot effectively
determine the extent to which the
ability to secure lodgings will be
compromised. In this case, we are
stating that each agency may determine
whether Bulletin FTR 05–07 applies to
travel which is impacted by Hurricane
Rita.
B. Procedures
Bulletins regarding Federal travel
expenses are located on the Internet at
www.gsa.gov/ftrbulletins as Federal
Travel Regulation (FTR) bulletins.
Dated: September 29, 2005.

Deputy Associate Administrator.

Federal Travel Regulation; Notice of
GSA Bulletin FTR 05–07
BILLING CODE 6820–14–S
Office of Governmentwide
Policy, General Services Administration
(GSA).
ACTION: Notice of a bulletin.
AGENCY:
This notice announces GSA
Federal Travel Regulation (FTR)
Bulletin 05–07. This Bulletin informs
agencies that certain provisions of the
FTR governing the authorization of
actual subsistence expenses for official
travel (both TDY and relocation) are
temporarily waived as a result of
Hurricane Rita, because it is expected
that finding lodging facilities and/or
adequate meals may be difficult, and
distances involved may be great
resulting in increased costs for per diem
expenses. Bulletin FTR 05–07 may be
found at www.gsa.gov/ftrbulletins.
DATES: The bulletin announced in this
notice is effective September 24, 2005.

period of 12 months. This urgent grant
award will assist the Local Council in
the emergency provision of child care
and early learning opportunities to
young children and their families who
have been evacuated from Mississippi,
Louisiana, and other parts of Texas due
to Hurricane Katrina. This service area
includes 13,575 square miles of the
following counties: Bailey, Cochran,
Crosby, Dickens, Floyd, Garza, Hale,
Hockley, King, Lamb, Lubbock, Lynn,
Motley, Terry, and Yoakum.
The South Plains Early Childhood
Council is well-situated geographically
to provide the needed emergency
services, and is well-equipped in terms
of program activities and cooperating
agencies to add immediately and
significantly to the child care and
related service needs of the evacuee
families. The Council is unique in that
it serves such a large multi-county rural
area that is receiving evacuees and
because it has the existing
organizational capacity to take the
services directly to the rural
communities using the FROG bus [Fun
Reading on the Go]. This is especially
important since the majority of evacuees
have no personal form of transportation
and public transportation is limited in
this rural area.
This emergency grant award will
provide early learning opportunities,
early literacy activities, and mental
health support to children under the age
of five years, their parents/guardians,
caregivers, and child care providers.
Young children currently residing in
shelters will be given age- and
culturally-appropriate books and will
receive supplemental supportive
educational and social activities from
staff trained in early childhood. Young
children and their parents/guardians
will also be provided with mental
health supports by appropriately trained
staff to support the children’s social and
emotional development, and to promote
effective parenting.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Carol Gage, ELOA Project Officer, at
(202) 690–6243.
This
award will be made pursuant to Pub. L.
106–554, Early Learning Opportunities
Act.

Dated: September 27, 2005.
