ACTION: Notice of GSA Per Diem
Bulletin FTR 14–01, Fiscal Year (FY)
2014 Continental United States
(CONUS) per diem rates.
AGENCY:
The General Services
Administration’s (GSA) Fiscal Year (FY)
2014 per diem review has resulted in
lodging and meal allowance changes for
certain locations within the Continental
United States (CONUS) to provide for
reimbursement of Federal employees’
expenses covered by per diem. The
standard lodging per diem rate will
increase to $83. The meals and
incidental expense tiers remain
unchanged for FY 2014 and range from
$46–$71. GSA identified two new nonstandard areas (NSAs): Big Spring, TX
(Howard County); and Pearsall, TX
(Frio, La Salle, and Medina Counties).
The City of Hershey, PA, is now a
separate NSA from Harrisburg, PA. In
addition, Pasco, WA (Franklin County)
and Richland, WA (Benton County)
have been merged into a single NSA.
Finally, Hendry County, FL is now
included with the Palm Beach County,
FL NSA.
The CONUS per diem rates prescribed
in Bulletin 14–01 may be found at

that the lodging industry reports to an
independent organization. If a lodging

request that GSA review that location.

GSA’s per diem Frequently Asked
Questions at (www.gsa.gov/perdiemfaqs)

one, now constitute the only
notification of revisions in CONUS per
diem rates to agencies.

Local Health Department and
Community Input for National Health
Security-related Activities’’.
Statutory Authority: Public Health
Service Act, Section 1703(a), 42 U.S.C.
300u–2(a).
Estimated Amount of Award:
$1,500,000 USD.
Project Period: September 30, 2013 to
September 29, 2016.
SUMMARY: ASPR requires collaboration
with local health departments and
officials to ensure that local
governments, communities, private
sector entities, non-governmental
organizations, academia, and
individuals can optimally coordinate
their respective national health security
roles and responsibilities to achieve
community health resilience and
strengthen health care, public health,
and emergency management systems.
This project aims to improve
collaboration between ASPR and the
local health departments (LHDs) to
enhance national health security, foster
community health resilience, and
strengthen health care, public health,
and emergency management systems.
One of the overarching goals of both
the National Health Security Strategy
(2009) and the ASPR Strategic Plan
2011–2015 is to build community health
resilience. ASPR seeks to partner with
LHDs and health officials which play a
critical role in building community
health resilience by employing and
evaluating localized public health
strategies, such as preparing local
communities to withstand and recover
from public health emergencies and
disasters, and engaging local health
departments and health care
organizations to build healthcare
coalitions. The project will foster better
approaches for building community
health resilience.
LHDs and health officials are
intimately familiar with the
communities and populations that they
serve and are an essential partner in
carrying out the mission of ASPR. ASPR
seeks to engage LHDs and health
officials as well as other appropriate
local stakeholders in bi-directional
communications to evaluate the
effectiveness of, and ensure that, ASPR’s
strategies, policies, and programmatic
activities are informed by and support
the needs of local communities. The
project will foster collaboration with
local health officials to achieve, for
example, national health security and
strengthen local emergency
preparedness, response, and recovery
systems and capabilities, and build

well-functioning healthcare coalitions,
among other activities.
ASPR seeks to partner with LHDs and
local communities which frequently
prepare for, respond to, and recover
from localized emergency incidents and
to identify valuable lessons and
promising practices to collect and share
these practices with other LHDs and
communities. This project will capture
lessons learned and promising practices
from local communities and share them
more widely.
Justification: The National
Association of County and City Health
Officials (NACCHO) is the national
nonprofit organization representing all
local and tribal health officials from
across the country. Members are elected
by their peers, and include ex officio
members representing the National
Association of Counties, of which
NACCHO is an affiliate, and the U.S.
Conference of Mayors. NACCHO
advocates on the behalf of county and
city health departments by providing
Congressional testimony, submitting
letters to the Administration, and
endorsing proposed legislation.
NACCHO has demonstrated
experience establishing partnerships
with both traditional and nontraditional organizations to impact both
county and city public health
departments and the broader public
health system.
NACCHO’s existing network of health
officials will provide ASPR with the
unique ability to collaborate on federal
programs and actions that could impact
the preparation for, response to or
recovery from emergencies and disasters
impacting public health and health care.
