Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) is proposing a rule
to abolish the Allegheny, Pennsylvania,
nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal
Wage System (FWS) wage area and
redefine Cuyahoga County, Ohio, to the
Macomb, Michigan, NAF wage area;
Trumbull County, OH, to the Niagara,
New York, NAF wage area; Allegheny
and Butler Counties, PA, to the
Cumberland, PA, NAF wage area;
Harrison County, West Virginia, to the
Prince William, Virginia, NAF wage
area; and Westmoreland County, PA,
will no longer be defined. These
changes are necessary because NAF
FWS employment in the survey area is
now below the minimum criterion of 26
wage employees to maintain a wage
area, and the local activities no longer
have the capability to conduct local
wage surveys.
DATES: Send comments on or before
September 14, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number and/or
Regulatory Information Number (RIN)
and title, by the following method:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Allegheny, Pennsylvania, NAF FWS
wage area is presently composed of one
survey county, Allegheny County, PA,
and five area of application counties:
Cuyahoga and Trumbull Counties, OH;
Butler and Westmoreland Counties, PA;
and Harrison County, WV. Under
section 532.219 of title 5, Code of
Federal Regulations, the OPM may
establish a NAF wage area when there
are a minimum of 26 NAF wage
employees in the survey area, a local
activity has the capability to host annual
local wage surveys, and the survey area
has at least 1,800 private enterprise
employees in establishments within
survey specifications. The Department
of Defense (DOD) notified OPM that
there has been a continuing decline of
NAF FWS employment in the survey
area and the local activities no longer
have the capability to conduct local
wage surveys. Currently, 11 DOD NAF
FWS employees and 13 Department of
Veterans Affairs NAF FWS employees
work in Allegheny County.
Since Cuyahoga and Trumbull
Counites, OH; Allegheny and Butler
Counties, PA; and Harrison County,
WV, will have continuing NAF
employment and do not meet the
regulatory criteria under 5 CFR 532.219
to be separate survey areas, they must be
defined as areas of application to other
wage areas. Section 532.219 lists the
regulatory criteria OPM considers when
defining FWS wage area boundaries.
This regulation allows consideration of
the following criteria: proximity of
largest activity in each county,
transportation facilities and commuting
patterns, and similarities of the counties
in overall population, private
employment in major industry
categories, and kinds and sizes of
private industrial establishments.
In selecting a wage area to which
Cuyahoga County, OH, should be
redefined, proximity favors the
Macomb, MI, NAF wage area. All other
criteria are inconclusive. Based on these
findings, OPM is defining Cuyahoga

County as an area of application to the
Macomb NAF wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which
Trumbull County, OH, should be
redefined, proximity favors the Niagara,
NY, NAF wage area. All other criteria
are inconclusive. Based on these
findings, OPM is defining Trumbull
County as an area of application to the
Niagara NAF wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which
Alleghany County, PA, should be
redefined, proximity favors the
Cumberland, PA, NAF wage area. All
other criteria are inconclusive. Based on
these findings, OPM is defining
Alleghany County as an area of
application to the Cumberland NAF
wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which
Butler County, PA, should be redefined,
proximity favors the Cumberland, PA,
NAF wage area. All other criteria are
inconclusive. Based on these findings,
OPM is defining Butler County as an
area of application to the Cumberland
NAF wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which
Harrison County, WV, should be
redefined, proximity favors the Prince
William, VA, NAF wage area. All other
criteria are inconclusive. Based on these
findings, OPM is defining Harrison
County as an area of application to the
Prince William NAF wage area.
OPM is removing Westmoreland
County from the wage area definition.
There are no longer NAF FWS
employees working in Westmoreland
County. Under 5 U.S.C. 5343(a)(1)(B)(i),
NAF wage areas ‘‘shall not extend
beyond the immediate locality in which
the particular prevailing rate employees
are employed.’’ Therefore,
Westmoreland County should not be
defined as part of a NAF wage area.
The Macomb wage area would consist
of one survey county (Macomb County,
MI) and 15 area of application counties
(Alpena, Calhoun, Crawford, Grand
Traverse, Huron, Iosco, Kent, Leelanau,
Ottawa, Saginaw, Washtenaw, and
Wayne Counties, MI; and Cuyahoga,
Lucas, and Ottawa Counties, OH).
The Niagara wage area would consist
of one survey county (Niagara County,
NY) and four area of application
counties (Trumbull County, OH; Erie
and Genesee Counties, NY, and Erie
County, PA).
The Cumberland wage area would
consist of one survey county

(Cumberland County, PA) and four area
of application counties (Allegheny,
Blair, Butler, and Franklin Counties,
PA).
The Prince William wage area would
consist of one survey county (Prince
William County, VA) and two area of
application counties (Fauquier County,
VA, and Harrison County, WV).
The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory
Committee, the national labormanagement committee responsible for
advising OPM on matters concerning
the pay of FWS employees,
recommended these changes by
consensus. 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.
Expected Impact of This Rule
Section 5343 of title 5, U.S. Code,
provides OPM with the authority and
responsibility to define the boundaries
of NAF FWS wage areas. Any changes
in wage area definitions can have the
long-term effect of increasing pay for
Federal employees in affected locations.
OPM expects this final rule to impact
approximately 26 NAF FWS employees.
Considering the small number of
employees affected, OPM does not
anticipate this rulemaking will
substantially impact local economies or
have a large impact in local labor
markets. However, OPM is requesting
comment in this rulemaking regarding
the impact. As this and future wage area
changes may impact higher volumes of
employees in geographical areas and
could rise to the level of impacting local
labor markets, OPM will continue to
study the implications of such impacts
in this or future rules as needed.

Regulatory Review
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).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
OPM certifies that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Federalism
OPM has examined this proposed rule
in accordance with Executive Order
13132, Federalism, and have
determined that this proposed 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 proposed 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.

AGENCY:
The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) is issuing a
proposed rule to redefine the geographic
boundaries of the Northeastern Arizona
and Utah appropriated fund Federal
Wage System (FWS) wage areas for paysetting purposes. The proposed rule
would redefine Washington County, UT,
and several National Parks portions of
Garfield, Grand, Iron, San Juan, and
Wayne Counties, UT, to the
Northeastern Arizona wage area. This
change is based on a recent consensus
recommendation of the Federal
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee
(FPRAC).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM is
proposing a rule to redefine the
geographic boundaries of the
Northeastern Arizona and Utah
appropriated fund FWS wage areas.
This proposed rule would redefine
Washington County, UT; and the Bryce
Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands
National Parks portions of Garfield
County, UT; the Arches and
Canyonlands National Parks portions of
Grand County, UT; the Cedar Breaks
National Monument and Zion National
Park portions of Iron County, UT; the
Canyonlands National Park portion of
San Juan County, UT; and the Capitol
Reef and Canyonlands National Parks
portions of Wayne County from the
Utah wage area to the Northeastern
Arizona wage area. This change is based
on a recent recommendation of 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.
As provided by 5 CFR 532.211, this
regulation allows consideration of the
following criteria when defining wage
area boundaries: distance,
transportation facilities, and geographic
features; commuting patterns; and
similarities in overall population,
employment, and the kinds and sizes of
private industrial establishments.
Southern Utah has numerous National
Parks, National Monuments, and
National Recreation Areas, and National
Park Service FWS employees often
perform overlapping maintenance work
at locations in the Northeastern Arizona
wage area. FWS wage area definitions

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing a rule
to abolish the Allegheny, Pennsylvania, nonappropriated fund (NAF)
Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and redefine Cuyahoga County, Ohio,
to the Macomb, Michigan, NAF wage area; Trumbull County, OH, to the
Niagara, New York, NAF wage area; Allegheny and Butler Counties, PA, to
the Cumberland, PA, NAF wage area; Harrison County, West Virginia, to
the Prince William, Virginia, NAF wage area; and Westmoreland County,
PA, will no longer be defined. These changes are necessary because NAF
FWS employment in the survey area is now below the minimum criterion of
26 wage employees to maintain a wage area, and the local activities no
longer have the capability to conduct local wage surveys.
DATES: Send comments on or before September 14, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ana Paunoiu, by telephone at (202)
606-2858 or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Allegheny, Pennsylvania, NAF FWS wage
area is presently composed of one survey county, Allegheny County, PA,
and five area of application counties: Cuyahoga and Trumbull Counties,
OH; Butler and Westmoreland Counties, PA; and Harrison County, WV.
Under section 532.219 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, the OPM
may establish a NAF wage area when there are a minimum of 26 NAF wage
employees in the survey area, a local activity has the capability to
host annual local wage surveys, and the survey area has at least 1,800
private enterprise employees in establishments within survey
specifications. The Department of Defense (DOD) notified OPM that there
has been a continuing decline of NAF FWS employment in the survey area
and the local activities no longer have the capability to conduct local
wage surveys. Currently, 11 DOD NAF FWS employees and 13 Department of
Veterans Affairs NAF FWS employees work in Allegheny County.
Since Cuyahoga and Trumbull Counites, OH; Allegheny and Butler
Counties, PA; and Harrison County, WV, will have continuing NAF
employment and do not meet the regulatory criteria under 5 CFR 532.219
to be separate survey areas, they must be defined as areas of
application to other wage areas. Section 532.219 lists the regulatory
criteria OPM considers when defining FWS wage area boundaries. This
regulation allows consideration of the following criteria: proximity of
largest activity in each county, transportation facilities and
commuting patterns, and similarities of the counties in overall
population, private employment in major industry categories, and kinds
and sizes of private industrial establishments.
In selecting a wage area to which Cuyahoga County, OH, should be
redefined, proximity favors the Macomb, MI, NAF wage area. All other
criteria are inconclusive. Based on these findings, OPM is defining
Cuyahoga County as an area of application to the Macomb NAF wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which Trumbull County, OH, should be
redefined, proximity favors the Niagara, NY, NAF wage area. All other
criteria are inconclusive. Based on these findings, OPM is defining
Trumbull County as an area of application to the Niagara NAF wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which Alleghany County, PA, should be
redefined, proximity favors the Cumberland, PA, NAF wage area. All
other criteria are inconclusive. Based on these findings, OPM is
defining Alleghany County as an area of application to the Cumberland
NAF wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which Butler County, PA, should be
redefined, proximity favors the Cumberland, PA, NAF wage area. All
other criteria are inconclusive. Based on these findings, OPM is
defining Butler County as an area of application to the Cumberland NAF
wage area.
In selecting a wage area to which Harrison County, WV, should be
redefined, proximity favors the Prince William, VA, NAF wage area. All
other criteria are inconclusive. Based on these findings, OPM is
defining Harrison County as an area of application to the Prince
William NAF wage area.
OPM is removing Westmoreland County from the wage area definition.
There are no longer NAF FWS employees working in Westmoreland County.
Under 5 U.S.C. 5343(a)(1)(B)(i), NAF wage areas ``shall not extend
beyond the immediate locality in which the particular prevailing rate
employees are employed.'' Therefore, Westmoreland County should not be
defined as part of a NAF wage area.
The Macomb wage area would consist of one survey county (Macomb
County, MI) and 15 area of application counties (Alpena, Calhoun,
Crawford, Grand Traverse, Huron, Iosco, Kent, Leelanau, Ottawa,
Saginaw, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties, MI; and Cuyahoga, Lucas, and
Ottawa Counties, OH).
The Niagara wage area would consist of one survey county (Niagara
County, NY) and four area of application counties (Trumbull County, OH;
Erie and Genesee Counties, NY, and Erie County, PA).
The Cumberland wage area would consist of one survey county
[[Page 55422]]
(Cumberland County, PA) and four area of application counties
(Allegheny, Blair, Butler, and Franklin Counties, PA).
The Prince William wage area would consist of one survey county
(Prince William County, VA) and two area of application counties
(Fauquier County, VA, and Harrison County, WV).
The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee, the national labor-
management committee responsible for advising OPM on matters concerning
the pay of FWS employees, recommended these changes by consensus. 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.
Expected Impact of This Rule
Section 5343 of title 5, U.S. Code, provides OPM with the authority
and responsibility to define the boundaries of NAF FWS wage areas. Any
changes in wage area definitions can have the long-term effect of
increasing pay for Federal employees in affected locations. OPM expects
this final rule to impact approximately 26 NAF FWS employees.
Considering the small number of employees affected, OPM does not
anticipate this rulemaking will substantially impact local economies or
have a large impact in local labor markets. However, OPM is requesting
comment in this rulemaking regarding the impact. As this and future
wage area changes may impact higher volumes of employees in
geographical areas and could rise to the level of impacting local labor
markets, OPM will continue to study the implications of such impacts in
this or future rules as needed.
Regulatory Review
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).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
OPM certifies that this proposed rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Federalism
OPM has examined this proposed rule in accordance with Executive
Order 13132, Federalism, and have determined that this proposed 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 proposed 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.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule does not impose any reporting or record-keeping
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
