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 Chicago, IL; Fort
Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN;
Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA,
appropriated fund Federal Wage System
(FWS) wage areas. The proposed rule
would redefine Benton County, IN, from
the Chicago wage area to the
Indianapolis wage area; Carroll and
Howard Counties, IN, from the Fort
Wayne-Marion wage area to the
Indianapolis wage area; and Carroll
County, OH, from the Pittsburgh wage
area to the Cleveland 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 Chicago, Fort Wayne-Marion,
Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh
FWS wage areas.
DATES: We must receive comments on or
before August 9, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
is issuing a proposed rule to redefine
the Chicago, IL; Fort Wayne-Marion, IN;
Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and
Pittsburgh, PA, appropriated fund
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas.
This proposed rule would redefine
Benton County, IN, from the Chicago
wage area to the Indianapolis wage area;
Carroll and Howard Counties, IN, from
the Fort Wayne-Marion wage area to the
Indianapolis wage area; and Carroll
County, OH, from the Pittsburgh wage
area to the Cleveland 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.
In addition, OPM regulations at 5 CFR
532.211 do not permit splitting
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)
for the purpose of defining a wage area,
except in very unusual circumstances
(e.g., organizational relationships among
closely located Federal activities).
OPM recently completed reviews of
the definitions of the Kokomo, IN;
Lafayette, IN; and Canton-Massillon, OH
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. These changes would be
effective on the first day of the first
applicable pay period beginning on or
after 30 days following publication of
the final regulations. FPRAC
recommended no other changes in the
geographic definitions of the Chicago,
Fort Wayne-Marion, Indianapolis,
Cleveland, and Pittsburgh wage areas.
Kokomo, IN Metropolitan Statistical
Area
Howard and Tipton Counties, IN,
comprise the Kokomo, IN MSA. The
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Kokomo MSA is currently split between
the Fort Wayne-Marion and
Indianapolis, IN, wage areas. Howard
County is part of the area of application
of the Fort Wayne-Marion wage area and
Tipton County is part of the area of
application of the Indianapolis wage
area.
Based on an analysis of the regulatory
criteria for Howard County, the core
county in the Kokomo MSA, we
recommend that the entire Kokomo
MSA be defined to the Indianapolis area
of application. The distance criterion for
Howard County favors the Indianapolis
wage area more than the Fort WayneMarion wage area. The commuting
patterns criterion slightly favors the
Indianapolis wage area. All other
criteria are inconclusive. Based on this
analysis, OPM proposes to redefine
Howard County to the Indianapolis area
of application so that the entire Kokomo
MSA is in one wage area. There are
currently no FWS employees working in
Howard County.
Lafayette, IN Metropolitan Statistical
Area
Benton, Carroll, and Tippecanoe
Counties, IN, comprise the Lafayette, IN
MSA. The Lafayette MSA is currently
split between the Chicago, IL; Fort
Wayne-Marion, IN; and Indianapolis,
IN, wage areas. Benton County is part of
the area of application of the Chicago
wage area, Carroll County is part of the
area of application of the Fort WayneMarion wage area, and Tippecanoe
County is part of the area of application
of the Indianapolis wage area.
Based on an analysis of the regulatory
criteria for Tippecanoe County, the
location of the main population center
in the Lafayette MSA, we recommend
that the entire Lafayette MSA be defined
to the Indianapolis area of application.
The distance criterion for Tippecanoe
County favors the Indianapolis wage
area more than the Chicago or Fort
Wayne-Marion wage areas. All other
criteria are inconclusive. However, more
than twice as many people currently
commute from Tippecanoe County into
the Indianapolis survey area (2%) than
into the Chicago survey area (0.11%) or
the Fort Wayne-Marion survey area
(0.14%). Based on this analysis, we
believe Tippecanoe County is
appropriately defined to the
Indianapolis wage area. Since there
appear to be no unusual circumstances

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 131 / Friday, July 9, 2010 / Proposed Rules
that would permit splitting the Lafayette
MSA, OPM proposes to redefine Benton
and Carroll Counties to the Indianapolis
wage area so that the entire Lafayette
MSA is in one wage area. There are
currently no FWS employees working in
Benton or Carroll Counties.
Canton-Massillon, OH Metropolitan
Statistical Area
Carroll and Stark Counties, OH,
comprise the Canton-Massillon, OH
MSA. The Canton-Massillon MSA is
currently split between the Cleveland,
OH, and Pittsburgh, PA, wage areas.
Carroll County is part of the area of
application of the Pittsburgh wage area
and Stark County is part of the area of
application of the Cleveland wage area.
Based on an analysis of the regulatory
criteria for Stark County, the core
county in the Canton-Massillon MSA,
we recommend that the entire CantonMassillon MSA be defined to the
Cleveland wage area. The distance
criterion for Stark County favors the
Cleveland wage area more than the
Pittsburgh wage area. All other criteria
are inconclusive. However, more than
twice as many people currently
commute from Stark County into the
Cleveland survey area (2%) than into
the Pittsburgh survey area (0.07%).
Based on this analysis, we believe Stark
County is appropriately defined to the
Cleveland wage area. Since there appear
to be no unusual circumstances that
would permit splitting the CantonMassillon MSA, OPM proposes to
redefine Carroll County to the Cleveland
wage area. There are two Army Corps of
Engineers FWS employees currently
working in Carroll County.

Conservatorship and Receivership
AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance
Agency; Office of Federal Housing
Enterprise Oversight.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking;
request for comment.
SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance
Agency (FHFA) is proposing a
regulation to establish a framework for
conservatorship and receivership
operations for the Federal National
Mortgage Association, the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the
Federal Home Loan Banks, as
contemplated by the Housing and
Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA).
HERA amended the Federal Housing
Enterprises Financial Safety and
Soundness Act of 1992 (Safety and
Soundness Act) by adding, among other
provisions, section 1367, Authority
Over Critically Undercapitalized
Regulated Entities. The proposed rule
will implement this provision, and is
designed to ensure that these operations
advance FHFA’s critical safety and
soundness and mission requirements.
As proposed, the rule seeks to protect
the public interest in the transparency
of conservatorship and receivership
operations for the Federal National
Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (Freddie Mac) (collectively,
the Enterprises), and the Federal Home
Loan Banks (Banks) (collectively, the
regulated entities).
DATES: Comments on the proposed rule
must be received in writing on or before
September 7, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit your
comments on the proposed regulation,

Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Chicago, IL; Fort
Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA,
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 Chicago, IL;
Fort Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh,
PA, appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. The
proposed rule would redefine Benton County, IN, from the Chicago wage
area to the Indianapolis wage area; Carroll and Howard Counties, IN,
from the Fort Wayne-Marion wage area to the Indianapolis wage area; and
Carroll County, OH, from the Pittsburgh wage area to the Cleveland 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 Chicago, Fort Wayne-Marion,
Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh FWS wage areas.
DATES: We must receive comments on or before August 9, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to Jerome D. Mikowicz, Deputy
Associate Director for Pay and Leave, Employee Services, U.S. Office of
Personnel Management, Room 7H31, 1900 E Street, NW., Washington, DC
20415-8200; email 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 Chicago, IL; Fort
Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA,
appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. This proposed
rule would redefine Benton County, IN, from the Chicago wage area to
the Indianapolis wage area; Carroll and Howard Counties, IN, from the
Fort Wayne-Marion wage area to the Indianapolis wage area; and Carroll
County, OH, from the Pittsburgh wage area to the Cleveland 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.
In addition, OPM regulations at 5 CFR 532.211 do not permit
splitting Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) for the purpose of
defining a wage area, except in very unusual circumstances (e.g.,
organizational relationships among closely located Federal activities).
OPM recently completed reviews of the definitions of the Kokomo,
IN; Lafayette, IN; and Canton-Massillon, OH 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. These changes would be
effective on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning
on or after 30 days following publication of the final regulations.
FPRAC recommended no other changes in the geographic definitions of the
Chicago, Fort Wayne-Marion, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh
wage areas.
Kokomo, IN Metropolitan Statistical Area
Howard and Tipton Counties, IN, comprise the Kokomo, IN MSA. The
Kokomo MSA is currently split between the Fort Wayne-Marion and
Indianapolis, IN, wage areas. Howard County is part of the area of
application of the Fort Wayne-Marion wage area and Tipton County is
part of the area of application of the Indianapolis wage area.
Based on an analysis of the regulatory criteria for Howard County,
the core county in the Kokomo MSA, we recommend that the entire Kokomo
MSA be defined to the Indianapolis area of application. The distance
criterion for Howard County favors the Indianapolis wage area more than
the Fort Wayne-Marion wage area. The commuting patterns criterion
slightly favors the Indianapolis wage area. All other criteria are
inconclusive. Based on this analysis, OPM proposes to redefine Howard
County to the Indianapolis area of application so that the entire
Kokomo MSA is in one wage area. There are currently no FWS employees
working in Howard County.
Lafayette, IN Metropolitan Statistical Area
Benton, Carroll, and Tippecanoe Counties, IN, comprise the
Lafayette, IN MSA. The Lafayette MSA is currently split between the
Chicago, IL; Fort Wayne-Marion, IN; and Indianapolis, IN, wage areas.
Benton County is part of the area of application of the Chicago wage
area, Carroll County is part of the area of application of the Fort
Wayne-Marion wage area, and Tippecanoe County is part of the area of
application of the Indianapolis wage area.
Based on an analysis of the regulatory criteria for Tippecanoe
County, the location of the main population center in the Lafayette
MSA, we recommend that the entire Lafayette MSA be defined to the
Indianapolis area of application. The distance criterion for Tippecanoe
County favors the Indianapolis wage area more than the Chicago or Fort
Wayne-Marion wage areas. All other criteria are inconclusive. However,
more than twice as many people currently commute from Tippecanoe County
into the Indianapolis survey area (2%) than into the Chicago survey
area (0.11%) or the Fort Wayne-Marion survey area (0.14%). Based on
this analysis, we believe Tippecanoe County is appropriately defined to
the Indianapolis wage area. Since there appear to be no unusual
circumstances
[[Page 39461]]
that would permit splitting the Lafayette MSA, OPM proposes to redefine
Benton and Carroll Counties to the Indianapolis wage area so that the
entire Lafayette MSA is in one wage area. There are currently no FWS
employees working in Benton or Carroll Counties.
Canton-Massillon, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area
Carroll and Stark Counties, OH, comprise the Canton-Massillon, OH
MSA. The Canton-Massillon MSA is currently split between the Cleveland,
OH, and Pittsburgh, PA, wage areas. Carroll County is part of the area
of application of the Pittsburgh wage area and Stark County is part of
the area of application of the Cleveland wage area.
Based on an analysis of the regulatory criteria for Stark County,
the core county in the Canton-Massillon MSA, we recommend that the
entire Canton-Massillon MSA be defined to the Cleveland wage area. The
distance criterion for Stark County favors the Cleveland wage area more
than the Pittsburgh wage area. All other criteria are inconclusive.
However, more than twice as many people currently commute from Stark
County into the Cleveland survey area (2%) than into the Pittsburgh
survey area (0.07%). Based on this analysis, we believe Stark County is
appropriately defined to the Cleveland wage area. Since there appear to
be no unusual circumstances that would permit splitting the Canton-
Massillon MSA, OPM proposes to redefine Carroll County to the Cleveland
wage area. There are two Army Corps of Engineers FWS employees
currently working in Carroll County.
