ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management
(OPM)is issuing a final rule to redefine the geographic boundaries of several appropriated fund Federal Wage System
(FWS)wage areas for pay-setting purposes. Based on reviews of Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA)boundaries in a number of wage areas, OPM is redefining the following wage areas: Washington, DC; Hagerstown-Martinsburg-Chambersburg, MD; Detroit, MI; Jackson, MS; Meridian, MS; and Cleveland, OH. DATES: Effective February 5, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202)606-2858 or by email at *pay-leave-policy@opm.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 14, 2019, OPM issued a proposed rule (84 FR 40297) to redefine the following counties: • Madison County, VA, from the Hagerstown-Martinsburg-Chambersburg, MD, area of application to the Washington, DC, area of application; • Ottawa County, OH, from the Cleveland, OH, area of application to the Detroit, MI, area of application; • Covington County, MS, from the Jackson, MS, area of application to the Meridian, MS, area of application. The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC), the national labor-management committee responsible for advising OPM on matters concerning the pay of FWS employees, reviewed and recommended these changes by consensus. The 30-day comment period ended on September 13, 2019. OPM received two comments requesting OPM consider revising the definition of the Seattle-Everett-Tacoma, WA, FWS wage area. OPM must receive the advice of FPRAC before making any changes to wage area boundaries. The comments are therefore beyond the scope of the proposed rule. Regulatory Impact Analysis This action is not a “significant regulatory action” under the terms of Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is therefore not subject to review under E.O. 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs This rule is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under E.O. 12866. Regulatory Flexibility Act OPM certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they will affect only Federal agencies and employees. Federalism We have examined this rule in accordance with Executive Order 13132, Federalism, and have determined that this rule will not have any negative impact on the rights, roles and responsibilities of State, local, or tribal governments. Civil Justice Reform This regulation meets the applicable standard set forth in Executive Order 12988. Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any year and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. Congressional Review Act This action pertains to agency management, personnel, and organization and does not substantially affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties and, accordingly, is not a “rule” as that term is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA)). Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not apply. Paperwork Reduction Act This rule does not impose any new reporting or record-keeping requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
