5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AM32


Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Madison, Wisconsin, 
and Southwestern Wisconsin Appropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage 
Areas

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final 
rule to redefine the geographic boundaries of the Madison, Wisconsin, 
and Southwestern Wisconsin appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) 
wage areas. The final rule redefines Adams and Waushara Counties, WI, 
from the Southwestern Wisconsin wage area to the Madison wage area. 
These changes are based on consensus recommendations of the Federal 
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the above counties to 
a nearby FWS survey area.

DATES: This regulation is effective on July 5, 2011.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 18, 2010, the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (75 FR 70616) to 
redefine Adams and Waushara Counties, WI, from the Southwestern 
Wisconsin wage area to the Madison, WI, wage area. These changes are 
based on consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate 
Advisory Committee to best match the above counties to a nearby FWS 
survey area. The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period during which 
OPM received no comments.

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.
