SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel
Management is issuing a final rule to
abolish the Washington, DC, Federal
Wage System (FWS) special wage
schedule for printing and lithographic
positions. Printing and lithographic
employees in the Washington, DC, wage
area will now be paid from the regular
Washington, DC, appropriated fund
FWS wage schedule. This change is
necessary because Federal employment
in printing and lithographic occupations
in the Washington, DC, wage area has
declined sharply in recent years, and a
separate wage schedule is no longer
viable or beneficial to employees.
DATES: Effective date: This regulation is
effective on December 14, 2012.
