Prevailing Rate Systems; Definition of
Pitt County, North Carolina, to a
Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage
System Wage Area
Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) is issuing a final
rule to define Pitt County, North
Carolina, as an area of application
county to the Wayne, NC,
nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal
Wage System (FWS) wage area. This
change is necessary because there is one
NAF FWS employee working in Pitt
County, and the county is not currently
defined to a NAF wage area.
DATES:
Effective date: This regulation is
effective May 7, 2020.
Applicability date: This change
applies on the first day of the first
applicable pay period beginning on or
after May 7, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202) 606–2858 or by email at pay-leavepolicy@opm.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 31, 2019, OPM issued a
proposed rule (84 FR 72250) to define
Pitt County, NC, as an area of
application county to the Wayne, NC,
NAF FWS wage area. This change is
based on a majority recommendation of
the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory
Committee (FPRAC), the national labormanagement committee responsible for
advising OPM on the administration of
the FWS.
The proposed rule had a 30-day
comment period, during which OPM
received no comments.

Paperwork Reduction Act
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).
This rule does not impose any new
reporting or recordkeeping requirements

OPM certifies that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
because it will affect only Federal

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
Regulatory Impact Analysis
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.

This document makes

Office of the Federal Register (OFR)
requirements.

Effective May 7, 2020.

amends regulations issued in 7 CFR
subtitle B, Regulations of the
Department of Agriculture, chapter I,
Agricultural Marketing Service
(Standards, Inspections, Marketing
Practices), Department of Agriculture.
This rule is issued under the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7
U.S.C. 1621–1627) and the Egg Products
Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 1031–1056),
both as amended. This rule is also

and processed fruits, vegetables, nuts,
and specialty crops under the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.
This technical amendment
redesignates and revises the heading of
title 7, subtitle B, chapter I, subchapter
C and of each subpart within 7 CFR
parts 51 and 52 so that they are
consistent with OFR requirements. The
subparts were previously incorporated
into 7 CFR parts 51 and 52 without
assigned subpart letter designations.
Further, some headings in subchapter C
include the word ‘‘Regulations’’ in the
title, which is inconsistent with OFR
approved part and subpart headings, as
each part under 7 CFR subtitle B
represents a body of regulations.
For example, the heading of
subchapter C, ‘‘Regulations and
Standards under the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946 and the Egg
Products Inspection Act’’, is considered
redundant by the OFR in that it denotes
regulations within a body of regulation.
This rule amends subchapter C by
revising the heading to read,
‘‘Requirements and Standards under the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 and
the Egg Products Inspection Act.’’
As a further example, the heading for
7 CFR part 51 currently includes two
footnotes that might be considered
regulatory in nature, which is
inconsistent with OFR formatting. This
rule amends part 51 by removing the
footnotes and incorporating the
information from the footnotes
elsewhere in the part, as needed. The
information in Footnote 1 is
incorporated into § 51.2 and the
information from Footnote 2 is
incorporated into a new paragraph (c) to
§ 51.1.
Similarly, footnotes in subpart
headings are removed where the text of
the footnote is addressed in another
provision of the subpart or part.
Likewise, the note accompanying part
52 has been removed because the
substance of that note is already in part
52, specifically § 52.57.
As a final example, the first subpart
of part 51 is currently titled ‘‘Subpart—
Regulations.’’ This rule redesignates the
first subpart of part 51 and revises its
title to read ‘‘Subpart A—
Requirements.’’ This document makes
similar redesignations and revisions to
the other subparts in parts 51 and 52 to
bring them into compliance with OFR
requirements.

Processing. This change has not been
reflected in the subsequent Code of
Federal Register publications but is
recognized in this rule.
This final rule is administrative in
nature and makes technical changes to
CFR headings that will have no impact
on the regulated industries.
Accordingly, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B), notice of proposed
rulemaking and opportunity for
comment are unnecessary, and there is
good cause to proceed with a final rule.
Although there is no formal comment
period, public comments on this rule
are welcome on a continuing basis.
Comments should be submitted to the
address or email under the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
This rule falls within a category of
regulatory actions that the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
exempted from Executive Order 12866
review. Additionally, because this rule
does not meet the definition of a
significant regulatory action, it does not
trigger the requirements contained in
Executive Order 13771. See OMB’s
Memorandum titled ‘‘Interim Guidance
Implementing Section 2 of the Executive
Order of January 30, 2017, titled
‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs’’’ (February 2, 2017).
This final rule has been reviewed in
accordance with the requirements of
Executive Order 13175, Consultation
and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments. The review reveals that
this regulation would not have
substantial and direct effects on Tribal
Governments nor significant Tribal
implications.
AMS is committed to complying with
the E-Government Act to promote the
use of the internet and other
information technologies, to provide
increased opportunities for citizen
access to Government information and
services, and for other purposes.
USDA has not identified any relevant
Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or
conflict with this final rule.

Prevailing Rate Systems; Definition of Pitt County, North

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final
rule to define Pitt County, North Carolina, as an area of application
county to the Wayne, NC, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System
(FWS) wage area. This change is necessary because there is one NAF FWS
employee working in Pitt County, and the county is not currently
defined to a NAF wage area.
DATES:
Effective date: This regulation is effective May 7, 2020.
Applicability date: This change applies on the first day of the
first applicable pay period beginning on or after May 7, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202) 606-2858 or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 31, 2019, OPM issued a proposed
rule (84 FR 72250) to define Pitt County, NC, as an area of application
county to the Wayne, NC, NAF FWS wage area. This change is based on a
majority recommendation of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory
Committee (FPRAC), the national labor-management committee responsible
for advising OPM on the administration of the FWS.
The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period, during which OPM
received no comments.
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 because it will affect
only Federal agencies and employees.
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.

This rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
