Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of Oneida, NY, 
Nonappropriated Fund Wage Area

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final 
rule to abolish the Oneida, NY, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage 
System (FWS) wage area and to establish a new Jefferson, NY, NAF wage 
area with a survey area consisting of Jefferson County--currently an 
unsurveyed county in the Oneida wage area. The Oneida wage area is 
presently composed of one survey area county (Oneida) and nine area of 
application counties (Albany, Clinton, Jefferson, Onondaga, Ontario, 
Schenectady, Saratoga, Seneca, and Steuben). After this change, a new 
wage area, Jefferson, NY, will include seven of these counties, with 
Jefferson designated as the survey area and Albany, Oneida, Onondaga, 
Ontario, Schenectady, and Steuben designated as areas of application. 
Clinton, Saratoga, and Seneca, which have no FWS employees, will be 
deleted.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 22, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank Derby, (202) 606-2848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 4, 1996, OPM published an interim 
rule to abolish the Oneida, NY, wage area and to establish a new 
Jefferson, NY, NAF wage area with a survey area consisting of Jefferson 
County--currently an unsurveyed county in the Oneida wage area. The 
Oneida wage area is presently composed of one survey area county 
(Oneida) and nine area of application counties (Albany, Clinton, 
Jefferson, Onondaga, Ontario, Schenectady, Saratoga, Seneca, and 
Steuben).
    The new wage area, Jefferson, NY, will include seven of these 
counties, with Jefferson designated as the survey area and Albany, 
Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Schenectady, and Steuben designated as areas 
of application. Clinton, Saratoga, and Seneca, which have no FWS 
employees, will be deleted. The interim rule provided a 30-day public 
comment period. No comments were received. Therefore, the 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 
affect only Federal agencies and employees.
