Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage Area

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final 
rule to abolish the Rock Island, Illinois, nonappropriated fund (NAF) 
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and redefine Rock Island County, 
IL, and Johnson County, Iowa, as areas of application to the Lake, IL, 
NAF FWS wage area. Carroll County, IL, will no longer be defined. These 
changes are necessary because employment has significantly declined in 
the Rock Island NAF wage area.

2008. Applicability date: This regulation applies on the first day of 
the first applicable pay period beginning on or after December 15, 
2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 14, 2007, the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) issued an interim rule (72 FR 63968) to 
abolish the Rock Island, Illinois, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal 
Wage System (FWS) wage area, redefine Rock Island County, IL, and 
Johnson County, Iowa, as areas of application to the Lake, IL, NAF FWS 
wage area, and remove Carroll County, IL, from the wage area 
definition. The interim rule had a 30-day public comment period, during 
which OPM received no comments.
