OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AL74


Prevailing Rate Systems; Abolishment of Santa Clara, CA, as a 
Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage Area

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final 
rule to abolish the Santa Clara, California, nonappropriated fund (NAF) 
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and redefine Santa Clara County, 
CA, to the Monterey, CA, NAF wage area and Alameda, Contra Costa, and 
San Francisco Counties, CA, to the Solano, CA, NAF wage area. San Mateo 
County, CA, will no longer be defined to a wage area. These changes are 
necessary because the closure of the Moffett Federal Airfield Navy 
Exchange left the Santa Clara wage area without an activity having the 
capability to conduct a local wage survey.

DATES: Effective date: This regulation is effective on March 9, 2009. 
Applicability date: This regulation applies on the first day of the 
first applicable pay period beginning on or after November 15, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e-
mail [email protected]; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 4, 2008, the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) issued an interim rule (73 FR 65495) to 
abolish the Santa Clara, California, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal 
Wage System wage area, redefine Santa Clara County, CA, to the 
Monterey, CA, NAF wage area and Alameda, Contra Costa, and San 
Francisco Counties, CA, to the Solano, CA, NAF wage area, and remove 
San Mateo County, CA, from the wage area definition. The interim rule 
had a 30-day public comment period, during which OPM received no 
comments.
