5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AL82


Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Boise, ID, and Utah 
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 Boise, ID, and Utah 
appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. The final rule 
redefines Franklin County, ID, from the Boise wage area to the Utah 
wage area. These changes are based on consensus recommendations of the 
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC) to best match the 
counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area. FPRAC 
recommended no other changes in the geographic definitions of the Boise 
and Utah FWS wage areas.

DATES: This regulation is effective on September 21, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 9, 2009, the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (74 FR 9968) to 
redefine Franklin County, ID, from the Boise, ID, wage area to the Utah 
wage area. These changes are based on consensus recommendations of the 
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee. The proposed rule had a 30-
day comment period, during which OPM received no comments.
