SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.44, ‘‘Control of the Processing and Use of Stainless Steel,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1224. This guide describes methods that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for implementing requirements about control of the application and processing of stainless steel to avoid severe sensitization that could lead to stress-corrosion cracking. This guide applies to light-water-cooled reactors. II. Further Information In June 2009, DG–1224 was published with a public comment period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment period was extended until October 1, 2009. The staff’s responses to the comments received are located in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession No. VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:09 Mar 31, 2011 Jkt 223001 ML101680258. Electronic copies of Regulatory Guide 1.44, Revision 1 are available through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. The regulatory analysis may be found under ADAMS Accession No. ML101680238. In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR) located at Room O–1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852–2738.

[FR Doc. 2011–7721 Filed 3–31–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT January 2011 Pay Schedules U.S. Office of Personnel Management. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The President has signed an Executive order stating that certain civilian employee pay schedules are not adjusted in 2011 and remain at 2010 levels. This notice serves as documentation for the public record. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Dismond, Pay and Leave, Employee Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management; (202) 606–2858; FAX (202) 606–0824; or email to pay-leavepolicy@opm.gov. SUMMARY: On December 22, 2010, the President signed Executive Order 13561 (75 FR 81817), which documented the January 2011 pay schedules. Pursuant to Public Law 111–242, as amended by Public Law 111–322, December 22, 2010, the Executive order provides that 2011 pay rates for the civilian employee pay schedules covered by the order are not adjusted and remain at 2010 levels. Schedule 1 of Executive Order 13561 provides the rates for the 2011 General SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00119 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Schedule (GS) and reflects no increase from 2010. Executive Order 13561 also includes the percentage amounts of the 2011 locality payments, which remain at 2010 levels except for employees in nonforeign areas. (See Section 5 and Schedule 9 of Executive Order 13561.) The publication of this notice satisfies the requirement in section 5(b) of Executive Order 13561 that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) publish appropriate notice of the 2011 locality payments in the Federal Register. GS employees receive locality payments under 5 U.S.C. 5304. Locality payments apply in the United States (as defined in 5 U.S.C. 5921(4)) and its territories and possessions. In 2011, locality payments ranging from 9.44 percent to 35.15 percent apply to GS employees in the 34 locality pay areas. The 2011 locality pay area definitions can be found at https://www.opm.gov/ oca/11tables/locdef.asp. The 2011 locality pay percentages became effective on the first day of the first pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2011 (January 2, 2011). An employee’s locality rate of pay is computed by increasing his or her scheduled annual rate of pay (as defined in 5 CFR 531.602) by the applicable locality pay percentage. (See 5 CFR 531.604 and 531.609.) The Non-Foreign Area Retirement Equity Assurance Act of 2009 contained in subtitle B (sections 1911–1919) of title XIX of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111–84, October 28, 2009) extended coverage of the locality pay program to employees in Alaska, Hawaii, and the other nonforeign areas in 2010. For 2011, the statute provides that employees in each of these areas receive two-thirds of the applicable locality rate. Executive Order 13561 documents that the Executive Schedule rates of pay remain at the 2010 levels. By law, Executive Schedule officials are not authorized to receive locality payments. Executive Order 13561 documents the 2011 range of rates of basic pay for senior executives in the Senior Executive Service (SES) under 5 U.S.C. 5382. The minimum rate of basic pay for the SES remains at $119,554 in 2011. The maximum rate of the SES rate range continues to be $179,700 (level II of the Executive Schedule) for SES members covered by a certified SES performance appraisal system and $165,300 (level III of the Executive Schedule) for SES members covered by an SES performance appraisal system that has not been certified. The minimum rate of basic pay for the senior-level (SL) and scientific and E:\FR\FM\01APN1.SGM 01APN1 mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 63 / Friday, April 1, 2011 / Notices professional (ST) rate range remains at $119,554 in 2011. The applicable maximum rate of the SL/ST rate range continues to be $179,700 (level II of the Executive Schedule) for SL or ST employees covered by a certified SL/ST performance appraisal system and $165,300 (level III of the Executive Schedule) for SL or ST employees covered by an SL/ST performance appraisal system that has not been certified. Agencies with certified performance appraisal systems in 2011 for SES members and employees in SL and ST positions also must apply a higher aggregate limitation on pay—up to the Vice President’s salary ($230,700 in 2011, the same level as in 2010). By law, SES members and employees in SL and ST positions are not authorized to receive locality payments. Note: An exception applies to SES, SL, and ST employees stationed in a nonforeign area on January 2, 2010, which is explained in an OPM memorandum, CPM 2009–27. (See https://www.opm.gov/oca/compmemo/ index.asp.) Executive Order 13561 provides that the rates of basic pay for administrative law judges (ALJs) under 5 U.S.C. 5372 are not increased in 2011. The rate of basic pay for AL–1 remains at $155,500 (equivalent to the rate for EX–IV). The rate of basic pay for AL–2 remains at $151,800. The rates of basic pay for AL– 3/A through 3/F continue to range from $103,900 to $143,700. 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 are not increased in 2011. On December 13, 2010, the President’s Pay Agent extended localitybased comparability payments to certain categories of non-GS employees again in 2011. The Governmentwide categories include 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 ($165,300 in 2011, the same level as in 2010). On December 27, 2010, OPM issued a memorandum (CPM 2010–20) on the Executive order for the 2011 pay schedules. (See https://www.opm.gov/ oca/compmemo/index.asp.) The memorandum transmitted Executive Order 13561 and provided the 2011 salary tables, locality pay areas and percentages, and information on general pay administration matters and other related information. The ‘‘2011 Salary Tables’’ posted on OPM’s Web site at https://www.opm.gov/oca/11tables/ index.asp are the official rates of pay for VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:09 Mar 31, 2011 Jkt 223001 affected employees and are hereby incorporated as part of this notice.

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The President has signed an Executive order stating that 
certain civilian employee pay schedules are not adjusted in 2011 and 
remain at 2010 levels. This notice serves as documentation for the 
public record.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Dismond, Pay and Leave, Employee 
Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management; (202) 606-2858; FAX 
(202) 606-0824; or email to pay-leave-policy@opm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 22, 2010, the President signed 
Executive Order 13561 (75 FR 81817), which documented the January 2011 
pay schedules. Pursuant to Public Law 111-242, as amended by Public Law 
111-322, December 22, 2010, the Executive order provides that 2011 pay 
rates for the civilian employee pay schedules covered by the order are 
not adjusted and remain at 2010 levels.
    Schedule 1 of Executive Order 13561 provides the rates for the 2011 
General Schedule (GS) and reflects no increase from 2010. Executive 
Order 13561 also includes the percentage amounts of the 2011 locality 
payments, which remain at 2010 levels except for employees in 
nonforeign areas. (See Section 5 and Schedule 9 of Executive Order 
13561.)
    The publication of this notice satisfies the requirement in section 
5(b) of Executive Order 13561 that the U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) publish appropriate notice of the 2011 locality 
payments in the Federal Register.
    GS employees receive locality payments under 5 U.S.C. 5304. 
Locality payments apply in the United States (as defined in 5 U.S.C. 
5921(4)) and its territories and possessions. In 2011, locality 
payments ranging from 9.44 percent to 35.15 percent apply to GS 
employees in the 34 locality pay areas. The 2011 locality pay area 
definitions can be found at https://www.opm.gov/oca/11tables/locdef.asp.
    The 2011 locality pay percentages became effective on the first day 
of the first pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2011 (January 
2, 2011). An employee's locality rate of pay is computed by increasing 
his or her scheduled annual rate of pay (as defined in 5 CFR 531.602) 
by the applicable locality pay percentage. (See 5 CFR 531.604 and 
531.609.) The Non-Foreign Area Retirement Equity Assurance Act of 2009 
contained in subtitle B (sections 1911-1919) of title XIX of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111-
84, October 28, 2009) extended coverage of the locality pay program to 
employees in Alaska, Hawaii, and the other nonforeign areas in 2010. 
For 2011, the statute provides that employees in each of these areas 
receive two-thirds of the applicable locality rate.
    Executive Order 13561 documents that the Executive Schedule rates 
of pay remain at the 2010 levels. By law, Executive Schedule officials 
are not authorized to receive locality payments.
    Executive Order 13561 documents the 2011 range of rates of basic 
pay for senior executives in the Senior Executive Service (SES) under 5 
U.S.C. 5382. The minimum rate of basic pay for the SES remains at 
$119,554 in 2011. The maximum rate of the SES rate range continues to 
be $179,700 (level II of the Executive Schedule) for SES members 
covered by a certified SES performance appraisal system and $165,300 
(level III of the Executive Schedule) for SES members covered by an SES 
performance appraisal system that has not been certified.
    The minimum rate of basic pay for the senior-level (SL) and 
scientific and

[[Page 18263]]

professional (ST) rate range remains at $119,554 in 2011. The 
applicable maximum rate of the SL/ST rate range continues to be 
$179,700 (level II of the Executive Schedule) for SL or ST employees 
covered by a certified SL/ST performance appraisal system and $165,300 
(level III of the Executive Schedule) for SL or ST employees covered by 
an SL/ST performance appraisal system that has not been certified. 
Agencies with certified performance appraisal systems in 2011 for SES 
members and employees in SL and ST positions also must apply a higher 
aggregate limitation on pay--up to the Vice President's salary 
($230,700 in 2011, the same level as in 2010).
    By law, SES members and employees in SL and ST positions are not 
authorized to receive locality payments. Note: An exception applies to 
SES, SL, and ST employees stationed in a nonforeign area on January 2, 
2010, which is explained in an OPM memorandum, CPM 2009-27. (See https://www.opm.gov/oca/compmemo/index.asp.)
    Executive Order 13561 provides that the rates of basic pay for 
administrative law judges (ALJs) under 5 U.S.C. 5372 are not increased 
in 2011. The rate of basic pay for AL-1 remains at $155,500 (equivalent 
to the rate for EX-IV). The rate of basic pay for AL-2 remains at 
$151,800. The rates of basic pay for AL-3/A through 3/F continue to 
range from $103,900 to $143,700.
    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 are 
not increased in 2011.
    On December 13, 2010, the President's Pay Agent extended locality-
based comparability payments to certain categories of non-GS employees 
again in 2011. The Governmentwide categories include 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 ($165,300 
in 2011, the same level as in 2010).
    On December 27, 2010, OPM issued a memorandum (CPM 2010-20) on the 
Executive order for the 2011 pay schedules. (See https://www.opm.gov/oca/compmemo/index.asp.) The memorandum transmitted Executive Order 
13561 and provided the 2011 salary tables, locality pay areas and 
percentages, and information on general pay administration matters and 
other related information. The ``2011 Salary Tables'' posted on OPM's 
Web site at https://www.opm.gov/oca/11tables/index.asp are the official 
rates of pay for affected employees and are hereby incorporated as part 
of this notice.
