5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AM21


Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Chicago, IL; Fort 
Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA, 
Appropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage Areas

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final 
rule to redefine the geographic boundaries of the Chicago, IL; Fort 
Wayne-Marion, IN; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA, 
appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. The final rule 
redefines Benton County, IN, from the Chicago wage area to the 
Indianapolis wage area; Carroll and Howard Counties, IN, from the Fort 
Wayne-Marion wage area to the Indianapolis wage area; and Carroll 
County, OH, from the Pittsburgh wage area to the Cleveland wage area. 
These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the 
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the above 
counties to a nearby FWS survey area. FPRAC recommended no other 
changes in the geographic definitions of the Chicago, Fort Wayne-
Marion, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh FWS wage areas.

DATES: This regulation is effective on December 27, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9, 2010, the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (75 FR 39460) to 
redefine Benton County, IN, from the Chicago, IL, wage area to the 
Indianapolis, IN, wage area; Carroll and Howard Counties, IN, from the 
Fort Wayne-Marion, IN, wage area to the Indianapolis wage area; and 
Carroll County, OH, from the Pittsburgh, PA, wage area to the 
Cleveland, OH, wage area. These changes are based on recent consensus 
recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to 
best match the above counties to a nearby FWS survey area. The proposed 
rule had a 30-day comment period during which OPM received no comments.
