ACTION:
Notice of Per Diem Bulletin 08-03, revised continental United States (CONUS) per diem rates.
SUMMARY:
The General Services Administration (GSA) has reviewed the per diem rates for certain locations in the States of Alabama, California, Illinois, Missouri, and Texas, using more current lodging industry data, as well as data on where Federal travelers actually stay when visiting these locations. The county information for St. Louis, Missouri has expanded to include the counties of Crawford, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, Warren, and Washington. Queens, New York will have the same per diem rates as Manhattan beginning March 17, 2008.
Finally, an analysis of the meals and incidental expenses (MIE) data reveals that the maximum MIE rates for the State of Alabama, the city of Mobile, including the county of Mobile; the State of California, the cities of Eureka, Arcata, and McKinleyville, including the county of Humboldt; and the State of Texas, the city of Beaumont, including the county of Jefferson, should be increased and adjusted to provide for the reimbursement of Federal employees' MIE expenses.
The per diem rates prescribed in Bulletin 08-03 may be found at http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem.

This notice is effective March 17, 2008 and applies to travel performed on or after March 17, 2008.
