MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206–AN10
Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition
of Certain Appropriated Fund Federal
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 several appropriated fund
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas
for pay-setting purposes. Based on
recent reviews of Metropolitan
Statistical Area boundaries in a number
of wage areas, OPM is redefining the
following wage areas: Washington, DC;
Hagerstown-Martinsburg-Chambersburg,
MD; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN;
Charlotte, NC; Columbia, SC, and
Southwestern Wisconsin. In addition,
this final rule makes three minor
corrections to the Miami, FL; Columbus,
GA, and Kansas City, MO, wage areas.
DATES: Effective date: This regulation is
effective on March 23, 2015.
Applicability date: This change
applies on the first day of the first
applicable pay period beginning on or
after April 22, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202) 606–2838 or by email at pay-leavepolicy@opm.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 31, 2014, OPM issued a
proposed rule (79 FR 64684) to redefine
the following counties:
• Culpeper and Rappahannock
Counties, VA, from the HagerstownMartinsburg-Chambersburg, MD, area of
application to the Washington, DC, area
of application;
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:11 Mar 20, 2015
Jkt 235001
• Fillmore County, MN, from the
Southwestern Wisconsin area of
application to the Minneapolis-St. Paul,
MN, area of application; and
• Chester County, SC, from the
Columbia, SC, area of application to the
Charlotte, NC, area of application.
The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory
Committee, the national labormanagement committee responsible for
advising OPM on matters concerning
the pay of FWS employees, reviewed
and recommended these changes by
consensus. The proposed rule had a 30day comment period, during which
OPM received no comments.
In addition, this final rule (1) updates
the name of the Columbus Consolidated
Government in the Columbus, GA, FWS
wage area because Columbus is the
official name of the entity resulting from
the consolidation of the City of
Columbus and Muscogee County in
1971; (2) updates the name of Dade
County in the Miami, FL, FWS wage
area because the name of Dade County
was officially changed to Miami-Dade
County in 1997; and (3) deletes the
name of the St. Louis, MO, wage area
from the list of area of application
counties in the Kansas City, MO, wage
area because, due to a formatting error,
the name of the St. Louis wage area was
incorrectly printed as if it was an area
of application county in the Kansas City
wage area. These corrections do not
affect the pay of any FWS employees.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that these regulations will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
because they will affect only Federal
agencies and employees.

We are superseding
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014–06–
08 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model
DHC–8–100, –200, and –300 series
airplanes. AD 2014–06–08 required
repetitive functional checks of the nose
and main landing gear, and corrective
actions if necessary; and also provided
optional terminating action
modification for the repetitive
functional checks. This new AD
requires a terminating action
modification. This AD was prompted by
a report that the emergency downlock
indication system (EDIS) had given a
false landing gear down-and-locked
indication and a determination that a
terminating action modification is
necessary to address the identified
unsafe condition. We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct a false downand-locked landing gear indication,
which, on landing, could result in
possible collapse of the landing gear.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April
27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2014–06–08,
Amendment 39–17812 (79 FR 17390,
March 28, 2014). AD 2014–06–08
applied to certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model DHC–8–100, –200, and –300
series airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on October 17,
2014 (79 FR 62363).
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–11,
dated February 13, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model
DHC–8–102, –103, –106, –201, –202,
–301, –311, and –315 airplanes. The
MCAI states:
During an in-service event where the
landing gear control panel indicated an
unsafe nose landing gear, the flight crew
observed that all three green lights were
illuminated on the emergency downlock
indication system. The nose landing gear was
not down and locked, and collapsed during
landing.

Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of Certain Appropriated
Fund Federal Wage System Wage Areas
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a
final rule to redefine the geographic boundaries of several
appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas for pay-setting
purposes. Based on recent reviews of Metropolitan Statistical Area
boundaries in a number of wage areas, OPM is redefining the following
wage areas: Washington, DC; Hagerstown-Martinsburg-Chambersburg, MD;
Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN; Charlotte, NC; Columbia, SC, and Southwestern
Wisconsin. In addition, this final rule makes three minor corrections
to the Miami, FL; Columbus, GA, and Kansas City, MO, wage areas.
DATES: Effective date: This regulation is effective on March 23, 2015.
Applicability date: This change applies on the first day of the
first applicable pay period beginning on or after April 22, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202) 606-2838 or by email at pay-leave-policy@opm.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 31, 2014, OPM issued a proposed
rule (79 FR 64684) to redefine the following counties:
Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties, VA, from the
Hagerstown-Martinsburg-Chambersburg, MD, area of application to the
Washington, DC, area of application;
Fillmore County, MN, from the Southwestern Wisconsin area
of application to the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, area of application;
and
Chester County, SC, from the Columbia, SC, area of
application to the Charlotte, NC, area of application.
The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee, the national labor-
management committee responsible for advising OPM on matters concerning
the pay of FWS employees, reviewed and recommended these changes by
consensus. The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period, during which
OPM received no comments.
In addition, this final rule (1) updates the name of the Columbus
Consolidated Government in the Columbus, GA, FWS wage area because
Columbus is the official name of the entity resulting from the
consolidation of the City of Columbus and Muscogee County in 1971; (2)
updates the name of Dade County in the Miami, FL, FWS wage area because
the name of Dade County was officially changed to Miami-Dade County in
1997; and (3) deletes the name of the St. Louis, MO, wage area from the
list of area of application counties in the Kansas City, MO, wage area
because, due to a formatting error, the name of the St. Louis wage area
was incorrectly printed as if it was an area of application county in
the Kansas City wage area. These corrections do not affect the pay of
any FWS employees.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that these regulations will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they
will affect only Federal agencies and employees.
