ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management is issuing a final rule to 

redefine the geographic boundaries of 

the Shreveport, LA; Texarkana, TX;

Texarkana, TX, wage area to the 

Shreveport, LA, wage area and Oconto

comment period during which OPM 

received no comments.

5 CFR Part 532 

RIN 3206–AM22 

Prevailing Rate Systems: Santa Clara, 

CA, Tulsa County, OK, and Angelina 

County, TX 

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management is issuing a final rule to 

define Tulsa County, Oklahoma, as an 

area of application to the Oklahoma, 

OK, nonappropriated fund (NAF) 

Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area 

and Angelina County, Texas, as an area 

of application to the Dallas, TX, NAF 

FWS wage area. These changes are 

necessary because there are NAF FWS 

employees working in Tulsa and 

Angelina Counties and the counties are 

not currently defined to NAF wage 

areas. In addition, this final rule 

correctly amends the Nationwide 

Schedule of Nonappropriated Fund 

Regular Wage Schedules by removing, 

under the State of California, ‘‘Santa 

Clara,’’ which was abolished as a NAF 

FWS wage area by a final rule published 

on March 9, 2009. 

DATES: This regulation is effective on 

March 24, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606–2838; email pay-performance-policy@opm.gov; 

or FAX: (202) 606–4264. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

3, 2010, the U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) issued a proposed 

rule (75 FR 45557) to define Tulsa 

County, Oklahoma, as an area of 

application to the Oklahoma, OK, 

nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal 

Wage System (FWS) wage area and 

Angelina County, Texas, as an area of 

application to the Dallas, TX, NAF FWS 

wage area. 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. The proposed rule had a 30- 

day comment period during which OPM 

received no comments. 

CFR Correction 

In addition, this final rule corrects 

Appendix B to subpart B of part 532— 

Nationwide Schedule of 

Nonappropriated Fund Regular Wage 

Schedules by removing, under the State 

of California, ‘‘Santa Clara,’’ which was 

abolished as a NAF FWS wage area by 

a final rule (74 FR 9951) published on 

March 9, 2009. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

I certify that these regulations will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities
