    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 130 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.
