OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AL63
Prevailing Rate Systems; Change in Nonappropriated Fund Federal
Wage System Survey Schedule From Fiscal Year to Calendar Year
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final
rule to change the annual schedule of nonappropriated fund (NAF)
Federal Wage System wage surveys from a fiscal year cycle to a calendar
year cycle. The purpose of this change is to move certain wage surveys
to a different time of year and thus optimize the data collection
process for those areas. In addition, this change would more evenly
distribute the workload for the agency responsible for conducting NAF
surveys.
DATES: This rule is effective on December 10, 2008
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e-
mail [email protected]; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 28, 2008, the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (73 FR 30526) to
change the nationwide schedule of nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal
Wage System regular wage surveys at appendix B of part 532 of title 5,
Code of Federal Regulations, from a fiscal year cycle to a calendar
year cycle. The proposed rule had a 30-day public comment period,
during which OPM received no comments.

economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they
