5 CFR Part 532 

RIN 3206–AM49 

Prevailing Rate Systems; Abolishment 

of Monmouth, NJ, as a 

Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage 

System Wage Area 

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management is issuing a final rule to 

abolish the Monmouth, New Jersey, 

nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal 

Wage System (FWS) wage area and 

redefine Monmouth County, NJ, to the 

Burlington, NJ, NAF wage area. These 

changes are necessary because the 

closure of Fort Monmouth left the 

Monmouth wage area without an 

activity having the capability to conduct 

a local wage survey. 

DATES: Effective date: This regulation is 

effective on February 27, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

25, 2011, the U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) issued an interim 

rule (76 FR 53045) to abolish the 

Monmouth, New Jersey, 

nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal 

Wage System (FWS) wage area and 

redefine Monmouth County, NJ, to the 

Burlington, NJ, NAF wage area. FWS 

employees remaining in the Monmouth 

wage area were transferred to the 

Burlington wage area schedule on the 

first day of the first applicable pay 

period beginning on or after October 15, 

2011. The Federal Prevailing Rate 

Advisory Committee, the national labormanagement committee responsible for 

advising OPM on matters concerning 

the pay of FWS employees, reviewed 

and recommended these changes by 

consensus. The interim 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Agency administers the Thrift Savings 

Plan (TSP), which was established by 

the Federal Employees’ Retirement 

System Act of 1986 (FERSA), Public 

Law 99–335, 100 Stat. 514. The TSP 

provisions of FERSA are codified, as 

amended, largely at 5 U.S.C. 8351 and 

8401–79. The TSP is a tax-deferred 

retirement savings plan for Federal 

civilian employees and members of the 

uniformed services. The TSP is similar 

to cash or deferred arrangements 

established for private-sector employees 

under section 401(k) of the Internal 

Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 401(k)). 

Address Change 

The Agency has moved its 

headquarters to a new location in 

Washington, DC. This amendment to the 

Agency’s regulations revises all 

references to the location of the Agency 

to reflect its new address. 

Electronic Submission of Freedom of 

Information Act Requests 

Section 1631.6(a) currently permits 

submission of FOIA requests by postal 

mail only. The Agency is amending 

section 1631.6(a) to permit submission 

of FOIA requests by electronic mail and 

facsimile. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

I certify that this regulation will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This regulation will primarily affect 

Federal employees and members of the 

uniformed services who participate in 

the Thrift Savings Plan, which is a 

Federal defined contribution retirement 

savings plan created under the Federal 

Employees’ Retirement System Act of 

1986 (FERSA), Public Law 99–335, 100 

Stat. 514, and which is administered by 

the Agency. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

I certify that these regulations do not 

require additional reporting under the 

criteria of the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 

Pursuant to the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 602, 632, 

653, 1501–1571, the effects of this 

regulation on state, local, and tribal 

governments and the private sector have 

been assessed. This regulation will not 

compel the expenditure in any one year 

of $100 million or more by state, local, 

and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 

or by the private sector. Therefore, a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The purpose of this final rule is to 

revise the NRC’s export and import 

regulations in Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 110, 

‘‘Export and Import of Nuclear 

Equipment and Material,’’ with regard 

to U.S. Government law and policy on 

Oman. The Executive Branch 

recommended, in light of current 

foreign policy and nonproliferationrelated actions taken and polices 

pursued by the Government of Oman, 

that the NRC amend Part 110 to remove 

Oman from the list of restricted 

destinations in § 110.29. This means 

that exports of certain nuclear and 

byproduct materials to Oman may 

qualify for the NRC general license 

specified in §§ 110.21 through 110.24.
