Nonforeign Area Cost-of-Living 

Allowances; 2006 Interim Adjustments 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice publishes the 

2006 interim adjustments for the Pacific 

and Caribbean Nonforeign Area Cost-ofLiving Allowance (COLA) areas. The 

Federal Government conducts COLA 

surveys in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, 

Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands 

to set COLA rates. These surveys are 

conducted once every 3 years on a 

rotating basis. In between COLA 

surveys, the Government adjusts COLA 

rates for the areas not surveyed using 

the relative change in the Consumer 

Price Index (CPI) for the COLA area 

compared with the WashingtonBaltimore CPI. The Pacific and 

Caribbean COLA areas were not 

surveyed in 2006. Therefore, OPM is 

calculating and publishing interim 

adjustments for these COLA areas. This 

notice also publishes a revised listing of 

the 2005 estimated Washington, DC, 

area middle income annual consumer 

expenditure data. 

DATES: We will consider comments 

received on or before November 13, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Subpart B 

of part 591 of title 5, Code of Federal 

Regulations, requires the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM) to set 

nonforeign area cost-of-living allowance 

(COLA) rates for U.S. Postal Service and 

white-collar Federal employees in 

Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the Northern 

Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the 

U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). Section 

591.223(a) prescribes that we conduct 

these surveys on a rotating basis, once 

every 3 years. Section 591.224 requires 

we adjust the previous COLA survey 

price indexes for the areas not surveyed 

by using the relative change in the 

Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
52170 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 12, 2007 / Notices 

COLA area compared with the change in 

the Washington, DC, area CPI. 

In 2006, we surveyed Anchorage, 

Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska. We did 

not survey the Caribbean or Pacific 

COLA areas. Therefore, we are adjusting 

the previous Caribbean and Pacific 

survey price indexes using the relative 

change in CPIs. As required by 

§ 591.225, we used the CPI, All Urban 

Consumers (CPI–U), as published by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for 

Honolulu and the WashingtonBaltimore area and the Puerto Rico CPI 

as produced by the Puerto Rico 

Department of Work and Human 

Resources. 

2004 Pacific Survey Results and 

Interim Adjustments 

First, we computed the change in 

prices for the Honolulu area compared 

with the change in prices for the 

Washington-Baltimore area using the 

CPI–Us for each area. Table 1 shows this 

process. 

TABLE 1.—HONOLULU AND WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE CPI–U 

CHANGES 2004 TO 2006 

Survey area CPI–U 

Honolulu 2004 CPI–U first half ... 189.2 

Honolulu 2006 CPI–U first half ... 206.4 

Honolulu change ......................... 9.0909% 

DC-Baltimore 2004 CPI–U first 

half .......................................... 118.3 

DC-Baltimore 2006 CPI–U first 

half .......................................... 127.7 

DC-Baltimore change ................. 7.9459% 

Next, we multiplied the price indexes 

from the five 2004 Pacific surveys 

(Honolulu, Hawaii County, Kauai, Maui, 

and Guam) by the change in the 

Honolulu CPI–U and divided that by the 

change in the Washington-Baltimore 

CPI–U. The price index is the COLA 

survey index before the addition of the 

adjustment factor specified in § 591.227. 

The adjustment factor reflects 

differences in need, access to and 

availability of goods and services, and 

quality of life in the COLA area relative 

to the DC area and is a fixed amount. 

Therefore, it is not adjusted by the 

change in the CPI. 

OPM published the 2004 Pacific 

survey report in the Federal Register on 

August 4, 2005, at 70 FR 44989. The 

report included the survey price indexes 

for each of the Pacific COLA areas. OPM 

revised these price indexes in a final 

rule published in the Federal Register 

on August 2, 2006, at 71 FR 43897. 

Table 2 shows the interim adjustment 

process. For example, the 2004 Maui 

COLA survey adjusted index, as 

published in the Federal Register, is 

131.50. The Maui adjustment factor is 7 

points. Therefore, subtracting the 

adjustment factor shows 124.50 as the 

price index from the 2004 survey. We 

increased this price index by 9.0909% 

(i.e., multiplied by 1.090909), the 

change in the Honolulu CPI–U, and 

reduced it by 7.9459% (i.e., divided by 

1.079459), the change in the 

Washington-Baltimore CPI–U, to give a 

new price index of 125.82. We then 

added the 7 point adjustment factor to 

the new price index, which yields a 

2006 Maui Interim Adjustment COLA 

rate of 132.82.

2005 Caribbean Survey Results and 

Interim Adjustments 

The process we used to compute the 

interim adjustments for the Caribbean 

areas (i.e., Puerto Rico and USVI) is 

identical to the one for the Pacific areas 

except that we used the Puerto Rico CPI 

as produced by the Puerto Rico 

Department of Work and Human 

Resources, as specified in § 591.225. 

Table 3 shows the relative change in the 

Puerto Rico CPI compared with the 

Washington-Baltimore CPI–U. 

TABLE 3.—PUERTO RICO AND WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE CPI–U 

CHANGES 2005 TO 2006 

Survey area CPI–U 

Puerto Rico 2005 CPI first half

Puerto Rico change .................... 12.6263% 

DC-Baltimore 2005 CPI–U first 

half .......................................... 122.8 

DC-Baltimore 2006 CPI–U first 

half .......................................... 127.7 

DC-Baltimore change ................. 3.9902% 

We multiplied the Puerto Rico and 

USVI price indexes by the change in the 

Puerto Rico CPI and divided that by the 

change in the Washington-Baltimore 

CPI–U. OPM published price indexes 

for Puerto Rico and USVI in the 2005 

Caribbean survey report at 71 FR 63179. 

As noted in section 4.2.3 of the report, 

we calculated the Puerto Rico survey 

index (103.32) after we re-priced water 

utilities based on a post-survey increase 

in water utility rates. The CPI for Puerto 

Rico already reflects this increase; 

therefore, we reverted to the preincrease index level (103.06) to avoid 

duplication in the interim adjustment 

calculation. Table 4 shows the 2005 

indexes, the interim adjustment process, 

and the final results.

Interim Adjustments Summarized 

In a proposed rule published on 

September 6, 2007, at 72 FR 51200, 

OPM proposed to adjust COLA rates 

based on the interim CPI adjustments. In 

the Pacific, the results indicate that 

COLA rates in all of the areas except 

Hawaii County are currently set at the 

appropriate levels. In Hawaii County, 

the results show that the COLA rate 

should be increased to 18 percent. In the 

Caribbean, the results indicate that the 

COLA rate for the U.S. Virgin Islands is 

currently set at the appropriate level 

and the rate for Puerto Rico should be 

increased to 11 percent. As noted in the 

proposed rule, OPM plans an additional 

adjustment to the Puerto Rico COLA 

rate based on the impact of the new 

Puerto Rico sales tax. 

Consumer Expenditure Data 

Appendix 2 of the 2005 COLA survey 

report included a listing of estimated DC 

area middle income annual consumer 

expenditures. We are publishing a 

revised listing of the consumer 

expenditure data with this notice. The 

revised listing contains the data we used 

in the 2005 survey index calculations.

COMMISSION 

Request for Public Comment 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: U.S. Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 8c-1; SEC File No. 270–455; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0514. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for approval. 

Rule 8c-1 (17 CFR 240.8c-1) under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.) generally prohibits a 

broker-dealer from using its customers’

securities as collateral to finance its own 

trading, speculating, or underwriting 

transactions. More specifically, the rule 

states three main principles: first, that a 

broker-dealer is prohibited from 

commingling the securities of different 

customers as collateral for a loan 

without the consent of each customer; 

second, that a broker-dealer cannot 

commingle customers’ securities with 

its own securities under the same 

pledge; and third, that a broker-dealer 

can only pledge its customers’ securities 

to the extent that customers are in debt 

to the broker-dealer.1 Pursuant to Rule 

8c-1, respondents must collect 

information necessary to prevent the 

hypothecation of customer accounts in 

contravention of the rule, issue and 

retain copies of notices to the pledgee of 

hypothecation of customer accounts in 

accordance with the rule, and collect 

written consents from customers in 

accordance with the rule. The 

information is necessary to ensure 

compliance with the rule and to advise 

customers of the rule’s protections. 

There are approximately 142 

respondents per year (i.e., brokerdealers that conducted business with 

the public, filed Part II of the FOCUS 

Report, did not claim an exemption 

from the Reserve Formula computation, 

and reported that they had a bank loan 

during at least one quarter of the current 

year) that require an aggregate total of 

3,195 hours to comply with the rule. 

Each of these approximately 142 

registered broker-dealers makes an 

estimated 45 annual responses, for an 

aggregate total of 6,390 responses per 

year. Each response takes approximately 

0.5 hours to complete. Thus, the total 

compliance burden per year is 3,195 

burden hours. The approximate cost per 

hour is $56, resulting in a total cost of 

compliance for the respondents of
