OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AM22
Prevailing Rate Systems: Santa Clara, CA, Tulsa County, OK, and
Angelina County, TX
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final
rule to define Tulsa County, Oklahoma, as an area of application to the
Oklahoma, OK, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage
area and Angelina County, Texas, as an area of application to the
Dallas, TX, NAF FWS wage area. These changes are necessary because
there are NAF FWS employees working in Tulsa and Angelina Counties and
the counties are not currently defined to NAF wage areas. In addition,
this final rule correctly amends the Nationwide Schedule of
Nonappropriated Fund Regular Wage Schedules by removing, under the
State of California, ``Santa Clara,'' which was abolished as a NAF FWS
wage area by a final rule published on March 9, 2009.
DATES: This regulation is effective on March 24, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e-
mail [email protected]; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 3, 2010, the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (75 FR 45557) to
define Tulsa County, Oklahoma, as an area of application to the
Oklahoma, OK, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage
area and Angelina County, Texas, as an area of application to the
Dallas, TX, NAF FWS 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,
recommended these changes by consensus. The proposed rule had a 30-day
comment period during which OPM received no comments.
CFR Correction
In addition, this final rule corrects Appendix B to subpart B of
part 532--Nationwide Schedule of Nonappropriated Fund Regular Wage
Schedules by removing, under the State of California, ``Santa Clara,''
which was abolished as a NAF FWS wage area by a final rule (74 FR 9951)
published on March 9, 2009.
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.
