5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AM21
Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Chicago, IL; Fort
Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA,
Appropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage 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 redefine the geographic boundaries of the Chicago, IL; Fort
Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA,
appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. The final rule
redefines Benton County, IN, from the Chicago wage area to the
Indianapolis wage area; Carroll and Howard Counties, IN, from the Fort
Wayne-Marion wage area to the Indianapolis wage area; and Carroll
County, OH, from the Pittsburgh wage area to the Cleveland wage area.
These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the above
counties to a nearby FWS survey area. FPRAC recommended no other
changes in the geographic definitions of the Chicago, Fort Wayne-
Marion, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh FWS wage areas.
DATES: This regulation is effective on December 27, 2010.

mail [email protected]; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9, 2010, the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (75 FR 39460) to
redefine Benton County, IN, from the Chicago, IL, wage area to the
Indianapolis, IN, wage area; Carroll and Howard Counties, IN, from the
Fort Wayne-Marion, IN, wage area to the Indianapolis wage area; and
Carroll County, OH, from the Pittsburgh, PA, wage area to the
Cleveland, OH, wage area. These changes are based on recent consensus
recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to
best match the above counties to a nearby FWS survey area. The proposed
rule had a 30-day comment period during which OPM received no comments.
