Nonforeign Area Cost-of-Living Allowances; 2006 Interim 
Adjustments

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice publishes the 2006 interim adjustments for the 
Pacific and Caribbean Nonforeign Area Cost-of-Living Allowance (COLA) 
areas. The Federal Government conducts COLA surveys in Alaska, Hawaii, 
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to set COLA rates. These 
surveys are conducted once every 3 years on a rotating basis. In 
between COLA surveys, the Government adjusts COLA rates for the areas 
not surveyed using the relative change in the Consumer Price Index 
(CPI) for the COLA area compared with the Washington-Baltimore CPI. The 
Pacific and Caribbean COLA areas were not surveyed in 2006. Therefore, 
OPM is calculating and publishing interim adjustments for these COLA 
areas. This notice also publishes a revised listing of the 2005 
estimated Washington, DC, area middle income annual consumer 
expenditure data.

DATES: We will consider comments received on or before November 13, 
2007.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to Charles D. Grimes III, Deputy 
Associate Director for Performance Management and Pay Systems,

Management, Room 7300B, 1900 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 20415-8200;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Subpart B of part 591 of title 5, Code of 
Federal Regulations, requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 
to set nonforeign area cost-of-living allowance (COLA) rates for U.S. 
Postal Service and white-collar Federal employees in Alaska, Hawaii, 
Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin 
Islands (USVI). Section 591.223(a) prescribes that we conduct these 
surveys on a rotating basis, once every 3 years. Section 591.224 
requires we adjust the previous COLA survey price indexes for the areas 
not surveyed by using the relative change in the Consumer Price Index 
(CPI) for the

[[Page 52170]]

COLA area compared with the change in the Washington, DC, area CPI.
    In 2006, we surveyed Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska. We 
did not survey the Caribbean or Pacific COLA areas. Therefore, we are 
adjusting the previous Caribbean and Pacific survey price indexes using 
the relative change in CPIs. As required by Sec.  591.225, we used the 
CPI, All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), as published by the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics (BLS) for Honolulu and the Washington-Baltimore area and the 
Puerto Rico CPI as produced by the Puerto Rico Department of Work and 
Human Resources.

2004 Pacific Survey Results and Interim Adjustments

    First, we computed the change in prices for the Honolulu area 
compared with the change in prices for the Washington-Baltimore area 
using the CPI-Us for each area. Table 1 shows this process.

 Table 1.--Honolulu and Washington-Baltimore CPI-U Changes 2004 to 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         Survey area                             CPI-U
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honolulu 2004 CPI-U first half..............................       189.2
Honolulu 2006 CPI-U first half..............................       206.4
Honolulu change.............................................     9.0909%
DC-Baltimore 2004 CPI-U first half..........................       118.3
DC-Baltimore 2006 CPI-U first half..........................       127.7
DC-Baltimore change.........................................     7.9459%
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Next, we multiplied the price indexes from the five 2004 Pacific 
surveys (Honolulu, Hawaii County, Kauai, Maui, and Guam) by the change 
in the Honolulu CPI-U and divided that by the change in the Washington-
Baltimore CPI-U. The price index is the COLA survey index before the 
addition of the adjustment factor specified in Sec.  591.227. The 
adjustment factor reflects differences in need, access to and 
availability of goods and services, and quality of life in the COLA 
area relative to the DC area and is a fixed amount. Therefore, it is 
not adjusted by the change in the CPI.
    OPM published the 2004 Pacific survey report in the Federal 
Register on August 4, 2005, at 70 FR 44989. The report included the 
survey price indexes for each of the Pacific COLA areas. OPM revised 
these price indexes in a final rule published in the Federal Register 
on August 2, 2006, at 71 FR 43897.
    Table 2 shows the interim adjustment process. For example, the 2004 
Maui COLA survey adjusted index, as published in the Federal Register, 
is 131.50. The Maui adjustment factor is 7 points. Therefore, 
subtracting the adjustment factor shows 124.50 as the price index from 
the 2004 survey. We increased this price index by 9.0909% (i.e., 
multiplied by 1.090909), the change in the Honolulu CPI-U, and reduced 
it by 7.9459% (i.e., divided by 1.079459), the change in the 
Washington-Baltimore CPI-U, to give a new price index of 125.82. We 
then added the 7 point adjustment factor to the new price index, which 
yields a 2006 Maui Interim Adjustment COLA rate of 132.82.

2005 Caribbean Survey Results and Interim Adjustments

    The process we used to compute the interim adjustments for the 
Caribbean areas (i.e., Puerto Rico and USVI) is identical to the one 
for the Pacific areas except that we used the Puerto Rico CPI as 
produced by the Puerto Rico Department of Work and Human Resources, as 
specified in Sec.  591.225. Table 3 shows the relative change in the 
Puerto Rico CPI compared with the Washington-Baltimore CPI-U.

Puerto Rico 2005 CPI first half (June)......................       277.2
Puerto Rico 2006 CPI first half (June)......................       312.2
Puerto Rico change..........................................    12.6263%
DC-Baltimore 2005 CPI-U first half..........................       122.8
DC-Baltimore 2006 CPI-U first half..........................       127.7
DC-Baltimore change.........................................     3.9902%
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We multiplied the Puerto Rico and USVI price indexes by the change 
in the Puerto Rico CPI and divided that by the change in the 
Washington-Baltimore CPI-U. OPM published price indexes for Puerto Rico 
and USVI in the 2005 Caribbean survey report at 71 FR 63179. As noted 
in section 4.2.3 of the report, we calculated the Puerto Rico survey 
index (103.32) after we re-priced water utilities based on a post-
survey increase in water utility rates. The CPI for Puerto Rico already 
reflects this increase; therefore, we reverted to the pre-increase 
index level (103.06) to avoid duplication in the interim adjustment 
calculation. Table 4 shows the 2005 indexes, the interim adjustment 
process, and the final results.

Interim Adjustments Summarized

    In a proposed rule published on September 6, 2007, at 72 FR 51200, 
OPM proposed to adjust COLA rates based on the interim CPI adjustments. 
In the Pacific, the results indicate that COLA rates in all of the 
areas except Hawaii County are currently set at the appropriate levels. 
In Hawaii County, the results show that the COLA rate should be 
increased to 18 percent. In the Caribbean, the results indicate that 
the COLA rate for the U.S. Virgin Islands is currently set at the 
appropriate level and the rate for Puerto Rico should be increased to 
11 percent. As noted in the proposed rule, OPM plans an additional 
adjustment to the Puerto Rico COLA rate based on the impact of the new 
Puerto Rico sales tax.

Consumer Expenditure Data

    Appendix 2 of the 2005 COLA survey report included a listing of 
estimated DC area middle income annual consumer expenditures. We are 
publishing a revised listing of the consumer expenditure data with this 
notice. The revised listing contains the data we used in the 2005 
survey index calculations.
