[Federal Register: October 31, 2007 (Volume 72, Number 210)] [Notices] [Page 61652] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr31oc07-77] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION Temporary Duty and Relocation Travel of Employees to Areas Impacted by the Wildfires in California AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, General Services Administration (GSA). ACTION: Notice of Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 08-02. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) has issued FTR Bulletin 08-02. FTR Bulletin 08-02 informs agencies that certain provisions of the FTR governing the authorization of actual subsistence expenses for official travel (both TDY and relocation) are temporarily waived as a result of the Emergency Declaration signed by the President on October 23, 2007, in response to wildfires in parts of California. It is expected that finding lodging facilities and/or adequate meals in the affected areas may be difficult, and distances involved may be great resulting in increased costs for per diem expenses. FTR Bulletin 08-02 became effective on October 24, 2007 and will remain effective until January 24, 2008, unless extended or rescinded by GSA. This bulletin and all FTR bulletins are located at gsa.gov/bulletin.
