 Office of Personnel Management 5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AM21
 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. Regulatory Flexibility Act I certify that these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they will affect only Federal agencies and employees.
