Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 157 / Tuesday, August 16, 2005 / Notices
SUMMARY: The President adjusted the
rates of basic pay and locality payments
for certain categories of Federal
employees effective in January 2005.
This notice documents those pay
adjustments for the public record.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Carey Johnston, Center for Pay and
Performance Policy, Division for
Strategic Human Resources Policy,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 30, 2004, the President signed
Executive Order 13368 (70 FR 1147,
January 5, 2005), which implemented
the January 2005 pay adjustment. The
President made these adjustments
consistent with Public Law 108–447,
December 8, 2004, which authorized an
overall average pay increase of 3.5
percent for General Schedule (GS)
employees.
Schedule 1 of Executive Order 13368
provides the rates for the 2005 General
Schedule and reflects a 2.5 percent
across-the-board increase. Executive
Order 13368 also includes the
percentage amounts of the 2005 locality
payments. (See Section 5 and Schedule
9 of Executive Order 13368).
The publication of this notice satisfies
the requirement in section 5(b) of
Executive Order 13368 that the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) publish
appropriate notice of the 2005 locality
payments in the Federal Register.
GS employees receive locality
payments under 5 U.S.C. 5304. Locality
payments apply in the 48 contiguous
States and the District of Columbia. In
2005, locality payments ranging from
11.72 percent to 26.39 percent apply to
GS employees in 32 locality pay areas.
These 2005 locality pay percentages,
which replaced the locality pay
percentages that were applicable in
2004, became effective on the first day
of the first pay period beginning on or
after January 1, 2005. An employee’s
locality-adjusted annual rate of pay is
computed by increasing his or her
scheduled annual rate of basic pay (as
defined in 5 U.S.C. 5302(8) and 5 CFR
531.602) by the applicable locality pay
percentage. (See 5 CFR 531.604 and
531.605.)
Executive Order 13368 establishes the
new Executive Schedule, which
incorporates the 2.5 percent increase
required under 5 U.S.C. 5318 (rounded
to the nearest $100). By law, Executive
Schedule officials are not authorized to
receive locality payments.
Executive Order 13368 establishes the
range of rates of basic pay for senior
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
executives in the Senior Executive
Service (SES), as established pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 5382. The minimum rate of
basic pay for the SES may not be less
than the minimum rate payable under 5
U.S.C. 5376 for senior-level positions
($107,550 in 2005), and the maximum
rate of basic pay may not exceed the rate
for level III of the Executive Schedule
($149,200 in 2005). The maximum rate
of the SES rate range will increase to
level II of the Executive Schedule
($162,100 in 2005) for SES members
covered by performance appraisal
systems that are certified under 5 U.S.C.
5307(d) as making meaningful
distinctions based on relative
performance. By law, SES members are
not authorized to receive locality
payments. Agencies with certified
performance appraisal systems in 2005
for senior executives and/or senior-level
(SL) and scientific or professional (ST)
positions must also apply a higher
aggregate limitation on pay—up to the
Vice President’s salary ($208,100 in
2005).
The Executive order adjusted the rates
of basic pay for administrative law
judges (ALJs) by 2.5 percent (rounded to
the nearest $100). The maximum rate of
basic pay for ALJs is set by law at the
rate for level IV of the Executive
Schedule, which is now $140,300. (See
5 U.S.C. 5372).
The rates of basic pay for members of
Contract Appeals Boards are calculated
as a percentage of the rate for level IV
of the Executive Schedule. (See 5 U.S.C.
5372a.) Therefore, these rates of basic
pay were increased by approximately
2.5 percent. Also, the maximum rate of
basic pay for SL/ST positions was
increased by approximately 2.5 percent
(to $140,300) because it is tied to the
rate for level IV of the Executive
Schedule. The minimum rate of basic
pay for SL/ST positions is equal to 120
percent of the minimum rate of basic
pay for GS–15 and thus was increased
by 2.5 percent (to $107,550). (See 5
U.S.C. 5376).
On December 13, 2004, the
President’s Pay Agent extended the
2005 locality-based comparability
payments to certain categories of nonGS employees. The Governmentwide
categories include employees in SL/ST
positions, ALJs, and Contract Appeals
Board members. The maximum locality
rate of pay for these employees is the
rate for level III of the Executive
Schedule ($149,200 in 2005).

2005’’ (OPM Doc. 124–48–6) in June
