The 30-day comment period ended on
November 18, 2020. OPM received one
comment in support of the abolishment
of the special wage schedule for ship
surveyor positions and one comment
that is beyond the scope of this rule.
Since there are no FWS employees
remaining in the special wage schedule
for ship surveyor positions, this final
rule removes § 532.275 from title 5,
Code of Federal Regulations.
Regulatory Impact Analysis
OPM has examined the impact of this
rule as required by Executive Order
12866 and Executive Order 13563,
which direct agencies to assess all costs
and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public, health, and
safety effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). This rule has not been
designated as a ‘‘significant regulatory
action,’’ under Executive Order 12866.
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.
