Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Boise, ID, and Utah
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 Boise, ID, and Utah appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. The final rule redefines Franklin County, ID, from the Boise wage area to the Utah wage area. These changes are based on consensus recommendations of the
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC) to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area. FPRAC recommended no other changes in the geographic definitions of the Boise and Utah FWS wage areas.
DATES: This regulation is effective on September 21, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e- mail pay-performance-policy@opm.gov; or Fax: (202) 606-4264.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 9, 2009, the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (74 FR 9968) to redefine Franklin County, ID, from the Boise, ID, wage area to the Utah wage area. These changes are based on consensus recommendations of the
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee. The proposed rule had a 30- day comment period, during which OPM received no comments.
