OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AG08

 

Prevailing Rate Systems; Change of Lead Agency Responsibility for 
Miami, FL, Wage Area for Pay-Setting Purposes

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final 
rule to transfer lead agency responsibility for the Miami, Florida, 
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area from the Department of Defense 
(DOD) to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for pay-setting 
purposes. FWS employment at Homestead Air Force Base (AFB), the current 
host installation for the Miami wage area, has declined since Hurricane 
Andrew in 1992 and is expected to decline further. The VA Medical 
Center is now the largest single employer of FWS employees in the wage 
area, has the resources to carry out local wage surveys in the area, 
and is willing to assume responsibility as lead agency.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 17, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Angela Graham Humes, (202) 606-2848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 14, 1994, OPM published an interim 
rule (59 FR 30503) to transfer lead agency responsibility for the 
Miami, Florida, FWS wage area from the Department of Defense to the 
Department of Veterans Affairs. The interim rule provided a 30-day 
period for public comment. OPM received no comments during the comment 
period. Therefore, the interim rule is being adopted as a final rule.

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.
