**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**A. Background**
After an analysis of the per diem rates established for FY 2013 (see the *Federal Register* notice at 77 FR 54578, September 5, 2012, and FTR Bulletin 13-01), non-standard area per diem rates are being established for the following locations:
**State of Oklahoma**
• Garfield County
**State of Texas**
• Midland County
CONUS per diem rates are published as FTR per diem bulletins available on the Internet at *www.gsa.gov/perdiem* and *www.gsa.gov/bulletins.* This process ensures timely notice of 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.
Dated: March 22, 2013.
