Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and periodically thereafter, the Secretary shall establish and implement a prevailing wage rates goal for positions in the local compensation plan, as described in section 408 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 ( 22 U.S.C. 3968 ), at each diplomatic post that— is based on the specific recruiting and retention needs of the post and local labor market conditions, as determined annually; and is not less than the 50th percentile of the prevailing wage for comparable employment in the labor market surrounding the post. The prevailing wage rate goal established under subsection
(a)may differ from the requirements under such subsection if required by law in the locality of employment. The analytical assumptions underlying the calculation of wage levels at each diplomatic post under subsection (a), and the data upon which such calculation is based— shall be filed electronically and retained for not less than 5 years; and shall be made available to the appropriate congressional committees upon request.
