Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition
of Certain Appropriated Fund Federal
Wage System Wage Areas
Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) is issuing a
proposed rule that would 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 (MSA)
boundaries in a number of wage areas,
OPM proposes redefinitions affecting
the following wage areas: Washington,
DC; Hagerstown-MartinsburgChambersburg, MD; Detroit, MI;
Jackson, MS; Meridian, MS; and
Cleveland, OH.
DATES: Send comments on or before
September 13, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number and/or
Regulatory Information Number (RIN)
and title, by the following method:
• Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
All submissions received must
include the agency name and docket
number or RIN for this document. The
general policy for comments and other
submissions from members of the public
is to make these submissions available
for public viewing at https://

Jkt 247001
OPM is
issuing a proposed rule to redefine the
geographic boundaries of several
appropriated fund FWS wage areas.
These changes are based on
recommendations of the Federal
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee
(FPRAC), the statutory national labormanagement committee responsible for
advising OPM on matters affecting the
pay of FWS employees. From time to
time, FPRAC reviews the boundaries of
wage areas and provides OPM with
recommendations for changes if the
Committee finds that changes are
warranted.
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 MSAs
for the purpose of defining a wage area,
except in very unusual circumstances.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) defines MSAs and maintains and
periodically updates the definitions of
MSA boundaries. MSAs are composed
of counties and are defined on the basis
of a central urbanized area—a
contiguous area of relatively high
population density. Additional
surrounding counties are included in
MSAs if they have strong social and
economic ties to central counties.
When the boundaries of wage areas
were first established in the 1960s, there
were fewer MSAs than there are today
and the boundaries of the then existing
MSAs were much smaller. Most MSAs
were contained within the boundaries of
a wage area. With each OMB update,
MSAs have expanded and in some cases
now extend beyond the boundaries of
the wage area.
FPRAC recently reviewed several
wage areas where boundaries subdivide
certain MSAs and has recommended by
consensus that OPM implement the
changes described in this proposed rule.
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.

Regulatory Impact Analysis
This action is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under the terms of
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993) and is therefore
not subject to review under E.O. 12866
and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011).
Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs
This rule is not an Executive Order
13771 regulatory action because this
rule is not significant under E.O. 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
OPM certifies that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
Federalism
We have examined this rule in
accordance with Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, and have determined that
this rule will not have any negative
impact on the rights, roles and
responsibilities of State, local, or tribal
governments.

Civil Justice Reform
This regulation meets the applicable
standard set forth in Executive Order
12988.
Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any year and it will not significantly
or uniquely affect small governments.
Therefore, no actions were deemed
necessary under the provisions of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of

not a ‘‘rule’’ as that term is used by the

Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of Certain Appropriated
Fund Federal Wage System Wage Areas
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a proposed
rule that would 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
(MSA) boundaries in a number of wage areas, OPM proposes redefinitions
affecting the following wage areas: Washington, DC; Hagerstown-
Martinsburg-Chambersburg, MD; Detroit, MI; Jackson, MS; Meridian, MS;
and Cleveland, OH.
DATES: Send comments on or before September 13, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and/or
Regulatory Information Number (RIN) and title, by the following method:
Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
All submissions received must include the agency name and docket
number or RIN for this document. The general policy for comments and
other submissions from members of the public is to make these
submissions available for public viewing at https://www.regulations.gov
as they are received without change, including any personal identifiers
or contact information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202) 606-2838 or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM is issuing a proposed rule to redefine
the geographic boundaries of several appropriated fund FWS wage areas.
These changes are based on recommendations of the Federal Prevailing
Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC), the statutory national labor-
management committee responsible for advising OPM on matters affecting
the pay of FWS employees. From time to time, FPRAC reviews the
boundaries of wage areas and provides OPM with recommendations for
changes if the Committee finds that changes are warranted.
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 MSAs for the purpose of defining a wage area, except in very
unusual circumstances.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defines MSAs and
maintains and periodically updates the definitions of MSA boundaries.
MSAs are composed of counties and are defined on the basis of a central
urbanized area--a contiguous area of relatively high population
density. Additional surrounding counties are included in MSAs if they
have strong social and economic ties to central counties.
When the boundaries of wage areas were first established in the
1960s, there were fewer MSAs than there are today and the boundaries of
the then existing MSAs were much smaller. Most MSAs were contained
within the boundaries of a wage area. With each OMB update, MSAs have
expanded and in some cases now extend beyond the boundaries of the wage
area.
FPRAC recently reviewed several wage areas where boundaries
subdivide certain MSAs and has recommended by consensus that OPM
implement the changes described in this proposed rule. 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.
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV MSA
Washington, DC; Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery, and Prince
George's Counties, MD; Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church,
Fredericksburg, Manassas, and Manassas Park Cities, VA; Arlington,
Clarke, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Madison, Prince William,
Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Warren Counties, VA; and
Jefferson County, WV, comprise the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-
MD-VA-WV MSA.
The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria MSA is split between the
Washington, DC, wage area and the Hagerstown-Martinsburg-Chambersburg,
MD, wage area. Washington, DC; Charles, Frederick, Montgomery, and
Prince George's Counties, MD; Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church,
Manassas, and Manassas Park Cities, VA; and Arlington, Fairfax,
Loudoun, and Prince William Counties, VA, are part of the Washington,
DC, survey area. Calvert County, MD; Fredericksburg City, VA; Clarke,
Culpeper, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Warren
Counties, VA; and Jefferson County, WV, are part of the Washington, DC,
area of application. Madison County, VA, is part of the Hagerstown-
Martinsburg-Chambersburg area of application.
OPM proposes to redefine Madison County to the Washington, DC, area
of application so that the entire Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-
VA-MD-WV MSA is in one wage area. There are currently 44 FWS employees
working in Madison County.
Toledo, OH MSA
Fulton, Lucas, Ottawa, and Wood Counties, OH, comprise the Toledo,
OH MSA.
The Toledo MSA is split between the Cleveland, OH, wage area and
the Detroit, MI, wage area. Ottawa County is part of the Cleveland area
of application while Fulton, Lucas, and Wood Counties are part of the
Detroit area of application.
OPM proposes to redefine Ottawa County to the Detroit area of
application so that the entire Toledo, OH MSA is in one wage area.
There are currently 38 FWS employees working in Ottawa County.
[[Page 40298]]
Hattiesburg, MS MSA
Covington, Forrest, Lamar, and Perry Counties, MS, comprise the
Hattiesburg, MS MSA.
The Hattiesburg MSA is split between the Jackson, MS, wage area and
the Meridian, MS, wage area. Covington County is part of the Jackson
area of application. Forrest and Lamar Counties are part of the
Meridian survey area while Perry County is part of the Meridian area of
application.
OPM proposes to redefine Covington County to the Meridian area of
application so that the entire Hattiesburg, MS MSA is in one wage area.
There are currently no FWS employees working in Covington County.
Regulatory Impact Analysis
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993)
and is therefore not subject to review under E.O. 12866 and 13563 (76
FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs
This rule is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because
this rule is not significant under E.O. 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
OPM certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Federalism
We have examined this rule in accordance with Executive Order
13132, Federalism, and have determined that this rule will not have any
negative impact on the rights, roles and responsibilities of State,
local, or tribal governments.
Civil Justice Reform
This regulation meets the applicable standard set forth in
Executive Order 12988.
Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100
million or more in any year and it will not significantly or uniquely
affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary
under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency management, personnel, and
organization and does not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of nonagency parties and, accordingly, is not a ``rule'' as
that term is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the
Small Business ``Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA)).
Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not apply.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose any new reporting or record-keeping
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
