Sec. 841.405  Economic assumptions.

    The determinations of the normal cost percentage will be based on 
the economic assumptions determined by the Board. When an agency's case 
is based in whole or in part on the pattern of merit salary increases 
specific to the agency or to a category of employees within the agency, 
the Board may require modification of the economic assumptions 
concerning salary and wage growth to take into account the combined 
effect of merit and general wage and salary increases.
