management committee responsible for
advising OPM on matters concerning
the pay of FWS employees, reviewed
and recommended this change by
consensus. The proposed rule had a 30day comment period, during which
OPM received no comments.
This final rule adds La Crosse County,
WI, to the survey area of the
Southwestern Wisconsin wage area,
which OPM inadvertently omitted in a
final rule published in 2013 (78 FR
29611). This correction does not affect
the pay of any FWS employees.

Wage System Wage Areas
U.S. Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) is issuing a final
rule to redefine the geographic
boundaries of the Fort Wayne-Marion,
IN, and Detroit, MI, appropriated fund
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas.
The final rule redefines Fulton County,
OH, from the Fort Wayne-Marion wage
area to the Detroit wage area. This
change is based on a consensus
recommendation of the Federal
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee
(FPRAC) to best match Fulton County to
a nearby FWS survey area. In addition,
this final rule adds La Crosse County,
WI, to the survey area of the
Southwestern Wisconsin wage area,
which OPM inadvertently omitted in a
final rule published in 2013.
DATES: Effective date: This regulation is
effective February 2, 2015. Applicability
date: This change applies on the first
day of the first applicable pay period
beginning on or after March 4, 2015.

turboshaft engines. AD 2012–14–06
required a one-time visual inspection
and fluorescent-penetrant inspection
(FPI) on certain 3rd-stage and 4th-stage
turbine wheels for cracks in the turbine
blades. This new AD replaces the onetime visual inspection and FPI with
repetitive visual inspections and FPIs.
This AD also adds certain engine
models to the applicability. This AD
was prompted by the determination that
the one-time inspections required by AD
2012–14–06 should be changed to
repetitive inspections. We are issuing
this AD to prevent failure of 3rd-stage
and 4th-stage turbine wheel blades,
which could cause engine failure and
damage to the aircraft.

2015.

Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2012–14–06,
Amendment 39–17120 (77 FR 40479,
July 10, 2012), (‘‘AD 2012–14–06’’). AD

2012–14–06 applied to certain RRC
250–C20, –C20B, and –C20R/2
turboshaft engines. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
October 2, 2014 (79 FR 59463). The
NPRM was prompted by determination
that the one-time inspections required
by AD 2012–14–06 should be changed
to repetitive inspections. The NPRM
proposed to replace the one-time visual
inspection and FPI with repetitive
visual inspections and FPIs, and also to
require a visual inspection and FPI after
any engine hot start. The NPRM also
proposed to add certain engine models
to the applicability. We are issuing this
AD to prevent failure of 3rd-stage and
4th-stage turbine wheel blades, which
could cause engine failure and damage
to the aircraft.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. The
following presents the comments
received on the NPRM (79 FR 59463,
October 2, 2014) and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Request To Remove a Certain Proposed
Inspection Requirement
RRC requested that we remove the
requirement to inspect the 3rd-stage and
4th-stage turbine wheels after a hot start
because they are already prohibited
from further use after a hot start by the
maintenance instructions.
We agree. Maintenance instructions
clearly direct replacement of 3rd-stage
and 4th-stage turbine wheels following
a hot start. We removed from this AD
the requirement to perform a visual
inspection and an FPI on the affected
turbine wheels after any hot start.
Request To Limit Applicability
RRC requested that we restrict
applicability of the AD to only those
affected engines that are installed on
MD helicopters because the majority of
failures have occurred on MD
helicopters.
We disagree. Failures have occurred
in installations on other than MD
helicopters. Also, the FAA cannot
ensure that parts once used on MD
helicopters have not been subsequently
installed on other engines or helicopter
models. We did not change this AD.
Request To Delete a Certain Reference
RRC requested that we remove, from
the Actions Since AD 2012–14–06 Was
Published paragraph, reference to 3rdstage turbine wheel failures by replacing
the words ‘‘3rd-stage and’’ with the
words ‘‘two additional’’ because
additional failures only occurred in 4thstage turbine wheels.

Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Fort Wayne-Marion,

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a
final rule to redefine the geographic boundaries of the Fort Wayne-
Marion, IN, and Detroit, MI, appropriated fund Federal Wage System
(FWS) wage areas. The final rule redefines Fulton County, OH, from the
Fort Wayne-Marion wage area to the Detroit wage area. This change is
based on a consensus recommendation of the Federal Prevailing Rate
Advisory Committee (FPRAC) to best match Fulton County to a nearby FWS
survey area. In addition, this final rule adds La Crosse County, WI, to
the survey area of the Southwestern Wisconsin wage area, which OPM
inadvertently omitted in a final rule published in 2013.
DATES: Effective date: This regulation is effective February 2, 2015.
Applicability date: This change applies on the first day of the first
applicable pay period beginning on or after March 4, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 18, 2014, OPM issued a proposed rule
(79 FR 41927) to redefine Fulton County, OH, from the Fort Wayne-
Marion, IN, wage area to the Detroit, MI, wage area. The Federal
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee, the national labor-management
