OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AN40
Prevailing Rate Systems; Definition of Kent County, Michigan, and
Cameron County, Texas, to Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage
Areas
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule amends the geographic boundaries of two
nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. Based
on recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee
(FPRAC), the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is defining Kent
County, Michigan, as an area of application county to the Macomb, MI,
NAF FWS wage area and Cameron County, Texas, as an area of application
county to the Nueces, TX, NAF FWS wage area. These changes are
necessary due to NAF FWS employees working in Kent and Cameron
Counties, and the counties are not currently defined to NAF wage areas.
DATES: Effective date: This regulation is effective on January 19,
2017.
Applicability date: This change applies on the first day of the
first applicable pay period beginning on or after February 21, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202) 606-2858 or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 24, 2016, OPM issued a proposed
rule (81 FR 57809) to define Kent County, Michigan, as an area of
application county to the Macomb, MI, NAF FWS wage area and Cameron
County, Texas, as an area of application county to the Nueces, TX, NAF
FWS wage area.
FPRAC, the national labor-management committee responsible for
advising OPM on matters concerning the pay of FWS employees, reviewed
and recommended this change by consensus.
The proposed 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.
