5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AG46


Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, 
PA; Harrisburg, PA; Washington, DC; and Waco, TX, Wage Areas

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to 
remove Schuylkill County, PA, from the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, PA, 
Federal Wage System wage area and reassign the county to the 
Harrisburg, PA, area of application. This rule also moves Adams County 
and Perry County, PA, from the Harrisburg survey area to the Harrisburg 
area of application. Additionally, this rule adds Manassas and Manassas 
Park, two independent cities in Virginia, to the Washington, DC, FWS 
wage area definition. This rule also corrects a printing error by 
reinserting McLennan County, TX, in the Waco, TX, FWS wage area 
listing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 1995.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Allen, (202) 606-2848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is 
currently engaged in an ongoing system-wide review of the geographic 
definitions of Federal Wage System (FWS) appropriated fund wage areas. 
On December 28, 1994, OPM published a proposed rule (59 FR 66795) 
communicating changes and technical corrections in FWS wage area 
definitions. The proposed rule provided a 30-day period for public 
comment. OPM received no comments during the comment period. Therefore, 
the proposed rule is being adopted as a final rule without any changes.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that these regulations would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they 
would affect only Federal agencies and employees.
