*State of Arizona*

• All points in the Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest within Coconino County

*State of Florida*

• Escambia County

*State of Maryland*

• Washington County

*State of Missouri*

*State of New Jersey*

*State of New Mexico*

**B. Procedures**

Per diem rates are published on the Internet at *www.gsa.gov/perdiem* as an FTR Per Diem Bulletin and published in the *Federal Register* on a periodic basis. This process ensures timely increases or decreases 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.
