The Federal Wage System (FWS) is the pay system established under 5 
U.S.C. 5341 et seq. for prevailing rate employees who work in trade, 
craft, and laboring occupations. The FWS establishes rates of pay for 
Federal prevailing rate employees through local wage surveys of private 
sector employers. The FWS includes 132 appropriated fund and 118 
nonappropriated fund local wage areas.

The Establishment Information Form, the Wage Data Collection Form, and 
the Wage Data Collection Continuation Form are wage survey forms 
developed by OPM based on recommendations of the Federal Prevailing 
Rate Advisory Committee for use by the Department of Defense to 
establish prevailing wage rates for FWS employees Governmentwide.
