Notices published periodically in the

only notification of revisions in CONUS
per diem reimbursement rates to
agencies other than the changes posted
on the GSA website.
Dated: August 14, 2018.

Associate Administrator, Office of
Government-wide Policy.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[FR Doc. 2018–18040 Filed 8–21–18; 8:45 am]
Background: The CONUS per diem
reimbursement rates prescribed in
Bulletin 19–01 may be found at
www.gsa.gov/perdiem. GSA bases the
maximum lodging allowance rates on
the average daily rate that the lodging
industry reports to an independent
organization. If a maximum lodging
allowance rate and/or a meals and
incidental expenses (M&IE) per diem
reimbursement rate is insufficient to
meet necessary expenses in any given
location, Federal executive agencies can
request that GSA review that location.
Please review questions six and seven of
GSA’s per diem Frequently Asked
Questions page at www.gsa.gov/perdiem
for more information on the special
review process. In addition, the Federal
Travel Regulation (FTR) allows for
actual expense reimbursement as
provided in §§ 301–11.300 through 301–
11.306.
For FY 2019, one new non-standard
area (NSA) location was added for Cobb
County, Georgia. Hancock and Knox
Counties in Maine were combined into
one NSA. The standard CONUS lodging
allowance rate will increase from $93 to
$94. The M&IE reimbursement rate tiers
were revised for FY 2019; they were last
revised in FY2016. The revised standard
CONUS M&IE rate is now $55, and the
M&IE NSA tiers are revised from $54–
$74 to $56–$76.
GSA issues and publishes the CONUS
per diem rates, formerly published in
Appendix A to 41 CFR Chapter 301,
solely on the internet at www.gsa.gov/
perdiem. GSA also has removed and
now solely publishes the M&IE
deduction table from Appendix B to 41
CFR Chapter 301, which is used when
employees are required to deduct meals
from their M&IE reimbursement
pursuant to FTR § 301–11.18, at
www.gsa.gov/mie. This process,
implemented in 2003, for per diem
reimbursement rates and in 2015
(internet publication) and 2018 (removal
from the FTR) for the M&IE deduction
table, ensures more timely changes in
per diem reimbursement rates
established by GSA for Federal
employees on official travel within
CONUS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
