ACTION: Proposed rule with request for comments. SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a proposed rule that would redefine the geographic boundaries of the Little Rock, AR, Southern Missouri, and Tulsa, OK, appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. The proposed rule would redefine Crawford and Sebastian Counties, AR, from the Little Rock wage area to the Tulsa wage area and Madison County, AR, and McDonald County, MO, from the Southern Missouri wage area to the Tulsa wage area. These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area. No other changes are proposed for the Little Rock, Southern Missouri, and Tulsa FWS wage areas. DATES: We must receive comments on or before January 7, 2009.

VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:06 Dec 05, 2008 Jkt 217001 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a proposed rule to redefine the Little Rock, AR, Southern Missouri, and Tulsa, OK, appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. This proposed rule would redefine Crawford and Sebastian Counties, AR, from the Little Rock wage area to the Tulsa wage area and Madison County, AR, and McDonald County, MO, from the Southern Missouri wage area to the Tulsa wage area. OPM considers the following regulatory criteria under 5 CFR 532.211 when defining FWS wage area boundaries: (i) Distance, transportation facilities, and geographic features; (ii) Commuting patterns; and (iii) Similarities in overall population, employment, and the kinds and sizes of private industrial establishments. OPM recently completed reviews of the definitions of the FayettevilleSpringdale-Rogers, AR–MO and Fort Smith, AR–OK Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and, based on analyses of the regulatory criteria for defining wage areas, is proposing the changes described below. The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC), the national labor-management committee responsible for advising OPM on matters concerning the pay of FWS employees, recommended these changes by consensus. FPRAC recommended no other changes in the geographic definitions of the Little Rock, Southern Missouri, and Tulsa wage areas. The affected employees in Crawford, Madison, and Sebastian Counties, AR, and McDonald County, MO, would be placed on the wage schedule for the Tulsa wage area on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning on or after 30 days following publication of the final regulations. Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR– MO MSA: Benton, Madison, and Washington Counties, AR, and McDonald County, MO, comprise the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR–MO MSA. The Fayetteville-SpringdaleRogers MSA is split between the Little Rock, AR, Southern Missouri, and Tulsa, OK, wage areas. Madison County is part of the area of application of the Little Rock wage area, McDonald County is part of the area of application of the Southern Missouri wage area, and Benton and Washington Counties are SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 part of the area of application of the Tulsa wage area. Based on an analysis of the regulatory criteria for Washington County, the location of the main population center in the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers MSA, we recommend that the entire Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers MSA be defined to the Tulsa wage area. The distance criterion for Washington County favors the Tulsa wage area more than Little Rock or Southern Missouri wage areas. All other criteria are inconclusive. We believe our regulatory analysis findings indicate that Washington County is appropriately defined to the Tulsa wage area. OPM regulations at 5 CFR 532.211 permit splitting MSAs only in very unusual circumstances (e.g., organizational relationships among closely located Federal activities). There appear to be no unusual circumstances that would permit splitting the FayettevilleSpringdale-Rogers MSA. To comply with OPM regulations not to split MSAs, Madison and McDonald Counties would be redefined to the Tulsa wage area. The remaining county in the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers MSA, Benton County, is already defined to the Tulsa wage area. Fort Smith, AR–OK MSA: Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian Counties, AR, and Le Flore and Sequoyah Counties, OK, comprise the Fort Smith, AR–OK MSA. The Fort Smith MSA is split between the Little Rock, AR, wage area and the Tulsa, OK, wage area. Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian Counties are part of the area of application of the Little Rock wage area, and Le Flore and Sequoyah Counties are part of the area of application of the Tulsa wage area. Based on an analysis of the regulatory wage area criteria in 5 CFR 532.211, we recommend that Crawford and Sebastian Counties be redefined to the Tulsa area of application. The distance criterion favors the Tulsa wage area more than the Little Rock wage area. All other criteria are inconclusive. Based on the mixed nature of our regulatory analysis findings, there is no clear indication that Crawford or Sebastian Counties should be placed in a different FWS wage area. However, since OPM regulations at 5 CFR 532.211 permit splitting MSAs only in very unusual circumstances (e.g., organizational relationships among closely located Federal activities) and the Fort Smith E:\FR\FM\08DEP1.SGM 08DEP1 74375 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 236 / Monday, December 8, 2008 / Proposed Rules MSA is adjacent to the Tulsa survey area but not adjacent to the Little Rock survey area, we recommend that Crawford and Sebastian Counties be redefined to the Tulsa wage area. Based on an analysis of the regulatory wage area criteria, we recommend that Franklin County remain part of the Little Rock area of application. When measuring from cities, the distance criterion favors the Little Rock wage area. When measuring from host installations, the distance criterion favors the Tulsa wage area. All other criteria are inconclusive. Based on our regulatory analysis findings, there is no clear indication that Franklin County should be placed in a different FWS wage area. In addition, the western part of the Ozark National Forest is located in portions of Crawford and Franklin Counties. There are no FWS employees working in Crawford County, but there are nine FWS Forest Service employees working in Franklin County. OPM regulations at 5 CFR 532.211 permit splitting MSAs in unusual circumstances. Since there are FWS Forest Service employees working at Ozark National Forest locations in closely located counties, we recommend that Franklin County remain defined to the Little Rock wage area. This would continue to provide equal pay treatment for FWS employees with employment locations in the Forest. Regulatory Flexibility Act I certify that these regulations would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they would affect only Federal agencies and employees.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Atlantic Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at Atlantic Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft operations at Atlantic Municipal Airport. DATE: 0901 UTC. Comments must be received on or before January 22, 2009.

Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ‘‘Comments to Docket No. FAA–2008–1105/Airspace Docket No. 08–AGL–10.’’ The postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.

Recently published rulemaking documents can also be accessed through the FAA’s Web page at https:// www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/ air_traffic/publications/ airspace_amendments/. Additionally, any person may obtain a copy of this notice by submitting a request to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, ATA– 400, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, or by calling (202) 267–8783. Communications must identify both docket numbers for this PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 notice. Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking (202) 267–9677, to request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. The Proposal This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 71 by adding additional controlled Class E airspace for SIAP IFR operations at Atlantic Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would amend controlled airspace at Atlantic Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA. E:\FR\FM\08DEP1.SGM 08DEP1

Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Little Rock, AR, 
Southern Missouri, and Tulsa, OK, Appropriated Fund Federal Wage System 
Wage Areas

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Proposed rule with request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a proposed 
rule that would redefine the geographic boundaries of the Little Rock, 
AR, Southern Missouri, and Tulsa, OK, appropriated fund Federal Wage 
System (FWS) wage areas. The proposed rule would redefine Crawford and 
Sebastian Counties, AR, from the Little Rock wage area to the Tulsa 
wage area and Madison County, AR, and McDonald County, MO, from the 
Southern Missouri wage area to the Tulsa wage area. These changes are 
based on recent consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing 
Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for 
redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area. No other changes are proposed 
for the Little Rock, Southern Missouri, and Tulsa FWS wage areas.

DATES: We must receive comments on or before January 7, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to Charles D. Grimes III, Deputy 
Associate Director for Performance and Pay Systems, Strategic Human 
Resources Policy Division, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Room 
7H31, 1900 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 20415-8200; e-mail pay-
performance-policy@opm.gov; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e-
mail pay-performance-policy@opm.gov; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management 
(OPM) is issuing a proposed rule to redefine the Little Rock, AR, 
Southern Missouri, and Tulsa, OK, appropriated fund Federal Wage System 
(FWS) wage areas. This proposed rule would redefine Crawford and 
Sebastian Counties, AR, from the Little Rock wage area to the Tulsa 
wage area and Madison County, AR, and McDonald County, MO, from the 
Southern Missouri wage area to the Tulsa wage area.
    OPM considers the following regulatory criteria under 5 CFR 532.211 
when defining FWS wage area boundaries:
    (i) Distance, transportation facilities, and geographic features;
    (ii) Commuting patterns; and
    (iii) Similarities in overall population, employment, and the kinds 
and sizes of private industrial establishments.
    OPM recently completed reviews of the definitions of the 
Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR-MO and Fort Smith, AR-OK 
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and, based on analyses of the 
regulatory criteria for defining wage areas, is proposing the changes 
described below. The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee 
(FPRAC), the national labor-management committee responsible for 
advising OPM on matters concerning the pay of FWS employees, 
recommended these changes by consensus. FPRAC recommended no other 
changes in the geographic definitions of the Little Rock, Southern 
Missouri, and Tulsa wage areas. The affected employees in Crawford, 
Madison, and Sebastian Counties, AR, and McDonald County, MO, would be 
placed on the wage schedule for the Tulsa wage area on the first day of 
the first applicable pay period beginning on or after 30 days following 
publication of the final regulations.
    Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR-MO MSA: Benton, Madison, and 
Washington Counties, AR, and McDonald County, MO, comprise the 
Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR-MO MSA. The Fayetteville-Springdale-
Rogers MSA is split between the Little Rock, AR, Southern Missouri, and 
Tulsa, OK, wage areas. Madison County is part of the area of 
application of the Little Rock wage area, McDonald County is part of 
the area of application of the Southern Missouri wage area, and Benton 
and Washington Counties are part of the area of application of the 
Tulsa wage area.
    Based on an analysis of the regulatory criteria for Washington 
County, the location of the main population center in the Fayetteville-
Springdale-Rogers MSA, we recommend that the entire Fayetteville-
Springdale-Rogers MSA be defined to the Tulsa wage area. The distance 
criterion for Washington County favors the Tulsa wage area more than 
Little Rock or Southern Missouri wage areas. All other criteria are 
inconclusive. We believe our regulatory analysis findings indicate that 
Washington County is appropriately defined to the Tulsa wage area. OPM 
regulations at 5 CFR 532.211 permit splitting MSAs only in very unusual 
circumstances (e.g., organizational relationships among closely located 
Federal activities). There appear to be no unusual circumstances that 
would permit splitting the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers MSA. To 
comply with OPM regulations not to split MSAs, Madison and McDonald 
Counties would be redefined to the Tulsa wage area. The remaining 
county in the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers MSA, Benton County, is 
already defined to the Tulsa wage area.
    Fort Smith, AR-OK MSA: Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian Counties, 
AR, and Le Flore and Sequoyah Counties, OK, comprise the Fort Smith, 
AR-OK MSA. The Fort Smith MSA is split between the Little Rock, AR, 
wage area and the Tulsa, OK, wage area. Crawford, Franklin, and 
Sebastian Counties are part of the area of application of the Little 
Rock wage area, and Le Flore and Sequoyah Counties are part of the area 
of application of the Tulsa wage area.
    Based on an analysis of the regulatory wage area criteria in 5 CFR 
532.211, we recommend that Crawford and Sebastian Counties be redefined 
to the Tulsa area of application. The distance criterion favors the 
Tulsa wage area more than the Little Rock wage area. All other criteria 
are inconclusive. Based on the mixed nature of our regulatory analysis 
findings, there is no clear indication that Crawford or Sebastian 
Counties should be placed in a different FWS wage area. However, since 
OPM regulations at 5 CFR 532.211 permit splitting MSAs only in very 
unusual circumstances (e.g., organizational relationships among closely 
located Federal activities) and the Fort Smith

[[Page 74375]]

MSA is adjacent to the Tulsa survey area but not adjacent to the Little 
Rock survey area, we recommend that Crawford and Sebastian Counties be 
redefined to the Tulsa wage area.
    Based on an analysis of the regulatory wage area criteria, we 
recommend that Franklin County remain part of the Little Rock area of 
application. When measuring from cities, the distance criterion favors 
the Little Rock wage area. When measuring from host installations, the 
distance criterion favors the Tulsa wage area. All other criteria are 
inconclusive. Based on our regulatory analysis findings, there is no 
clear indication that Franklin County should be placed in a different 
FWS wage area. In addition, the western part of the Ozark National 
Forest is located in portions of Crawford and Franklin Counties. There 
are no FWS employees working in Crawford County, but there are nine FWS 
Forest Service employees working in Franklin County. OPM regulations at 
5 CFR 532.211 permit splitting MSAs in unusual circumstances. Since 
there are FWS Forest Service employees working at Ozark National Forest 
locations in closely located counties, we recommend that Franklin 
County remain defined to the Little Rock wage area. This would continue 
to provide equal pay treatment for FWS employees with employment 
locations in the Forest.

    I certify that these regulations would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they 
would affect only Federal agencies and employees.
