OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AM09
Prevailing Rate Systems; Nonappropriated Fund Wage and Survey
Areas
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final
rule to correct several minor formatting, spelling, and typographical
errors in appendix D to subpart B of part 532--Nonappropriated Fund
(NAF) Wage and Survey Areas. This document also corrects editorial or
printing errors, inconsistencies, and omissions made in previously
published rules. The purpose of this rule is not to make policy changes
for Federal Wage System (FWS) NAF employees but rather to ensure
Appendix D accurately reflects the correct wage area definitions for
NAF employees as recommended by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory
Committee (FPRAC). FWS NAF employees will not be affected by the
corrections in this final rule because the lead agency for FWS NAF
surveys has followed FPRAC recommended wage area definitions when
conducting wage surveys and publishing wage schedules. For the
convenience of the reader, Appendix D is being reprinted in its
entirety.
DATES: This rule is effective on September 13, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e-
mail [email protected]; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 6, 2010, the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (75 FR 17316) to make
several minor corrections to appendix D to subpart B of part 532--
Nonappropriated Fund (NAF) Wage and Survey Areas. The revisions
contained in this rule concern formatting, spelling, and typographical
errors. This document also corrects editorial or printing errors,
inconsistencies, and omissions made in previously published rules. The
purpose of this rule is not to make policy changes for Federal Wage
System (FWS) NAF employees but rather to ensure Appendix D accurately
reflects the correct wage area definitions for NAF employees as
recommended by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC).
FWS NAF employees are not affected by the corrections in this final
rule because the lead agency for FWS NAF surveys has followed FPRAC
recommended wage area definitions when conducting wage surveys and
publishing wage schedules. Appendix D is being reprinted in its
entirety. The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period, during which
OPM received no comments. Therefore, we are adopting the proposed rule
as final.
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.

1. The authority citation for part 532 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 5343, 5346; Sec. 532.707 also issued under
5 U.S.C. 552.
0
2. Revise appendix D to subpart B to read as follows:
Appendix D to Subpart B of Part 532--Nonappropriated Fund Wage and
Survey Areas
This appendix lists the wage area definitions for NAF employees.
With a few exceptions, each area is defined in terms of county units
or independent cities. Each wage area definition consists of:
(1) Wage area title. Wage areas usually carry the title of the
county or counties surveyed.
(2) Survey area definition. Lists each county or independent
city in the survey area.
(3) Area of application definition. Lists each county or
independent city which, in addition to the survey area, is in the
area of application.
