OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AM62
Prevailing Rate Systems; Abolishment of Montgomery, Pennsylvania,
as a Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage Area
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final
rule to abolish the Montgomery, Pennsylvania, nonappropriated fund
(NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and redefine Chester,
Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties, PA, to the Burlington, NJ, NAF
wage area and Luzerne County, PA, to the Morris, NJ, NAF wage area.
Bucks County, PA, will no longer be defined to an NAF wage area. These
changes are necessary because the closure of the Naval Air Station
Joint Reserve Base (NAS JRB) Willow Grove left the Montgomery wage area
without an activity having the capability to conduct a local wage
survey.
DATES: Effective date: This regulation is effective on October 16,
2012. Applicability date: FWS employees remaining in the Montgomery NAF
wage area were transferred to the Burlington and Morris NAF wage area
schedules on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning
on or after May 15, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838;
email [email protected]; or Fax: (202) 606-4264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 15, 2012, the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) issued an interim rule (77 FR 28471) to
abolish the Montgomery, Pennsylvania, nonappropriated fund (NAF)
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and redefine Chester, Montgomery,
and Philadelphia Counties, PA, to the Burlington, NJ, NAF wage area and
Luzerne County, PA, to the Morris, NJ, NAF wage area. Bucks County, PA,
will no longer be defined to an NAF wage area. The Federal Prevailing
Rate Advisory Committee, the national labor-management committee
responsible for advising OPM on matters concerning the pay of FWS
employees, reviewed and recommended these changes by consensus. The
interim rule had a 30-day comment period, during which OPM received no
comments.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that these regulations will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they
will affect only Federal agencies and employees.
