OFFICE OF PERSONNEL 

MANAGEMENT 

5 CFR Part 532 

RIN 3206–AN10 

Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition 

of Certain 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 (OPM) is issuing a final 

rule to redefine the geographic 

boundaries of several appropriated fund 

Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas 

for pay-setting purposes. Based on 

recent reviews of Metropolitan 

Statistical Area boundaries in a number 

of wage areas, OPM is redefining the 

following wage areas: Washington, DC; 

Hagerstown-Martinsburg-Chambersburg, 

MD; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN; 

Charlotte, NC; Columbia, SC, and 

Southwestern Wisconsin. In addition, 

this final rule makes three minor 

corrections to the Miami, FL; Columbus, 

GA, and Kansas City, MO, wage areas. 

DATES: Effective date: This regulation is 

effective on March 23, 2015. 

Applicability date: This change 

applies on the first day of the first 

applicable pay period beginning on or 

after April 22, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at 

(202) 606–2838 or by email at pay-leavepolicy@opm.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 31, 2014, OPM issued a 

proposed rule (79 FR 64684) to redefine 

the following counties: 

• Culpeper and Rappahannock 

Counties, VA, from the HagerstownMartinsburg-Chambersburg, MD, area of 

application to the Washington, DC, area 

of application; 

• Fillmore County, MN, from the 

Southwestern Wisconsin area of 

application to the Minneapolis-St. Paul, 

MN, area of application; and 

• Chester County, SC, from the 

Columbia, SC, area of application to the 

Charlotte, NC, area of application. 

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 proposed rule had a 30- 

day comment period, during which 

OPM received no comments. 

In addition, this final rule (1) updates 

the name of the Columbus Consolidated 

Government in the Columbus, GA, FWS 

wage area because Columbus is the 

official name of the entity resulting from 

the consolidation of the City of 

Columbus and Muscogee County in 

1971; (2) updates the name of Dade 

County in the Miami, FL, FWS wage 

area because the name of Dade County 

was officially changed to Miami-Dade 

County in 1997; and (3) deletes the 

name of the St. Louis, MO, wage area 

from the list of area of application 

counties in the Kansas City, MO, wage 

area because, due to a formatting error, 

the name of the St. Louis wage area was 

incorrectly printed as if it was an area 

of application county in the Kansas City 

wage area. These corrections do not 

affect the pay of any FWS employees. 

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.

14 CFR Part 39

RIN 2120–AA64 

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014–06– 

08 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

DHC–8–100, –200, and –300 series 

airplanes. AD 2014–06–08 required 

repetitive functional checks of the nose 

and main landing gear, and corrective 

actions if necessary; and also provided 

optional terminating action 

modification for the repetitive 

functional checks. This new AD 

requires a terminating action 

modification. This AD was prompted by 

a report that the emergency downlock 

indication system (EDIS) had given a 

false landing gear down-and-locked 

indication and a determination that a 

terminating action modification is 

necessary to address the identified 

unsafe condition. We are issuing this 

AD to detect and correct a false downand-locked landing gear indication, 

which, on landing, could result in 

possible collapse of the landing gear. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

27, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of publications listed in this AD as of 

April 14, 2014 (79 FR 17390, March 28, 

2014).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2014–06–08, 

Amendment 39–17812 (79 FR 17390, 

March 28, 2014). AD 2014–06–08 

applied to certain Bombardier, Inc. 

Model DHC–8–100, –200, and –300 

series airplanes. The NPRM published 

in the Federal Register on October 17, 

2014 (79 FR 62363). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–11, 

dated February 13, 2014 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

DHC–8–102, –103, –106, –201, –202, 

–301, –311, and –315 airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

During an in-service event where the 

landing gear control panel indicated an 

unsafe nose landing gear, the flight crew 

observed that all three green lights were 

illuminated on the emergency downlock 

indication system. The nose landing gear was 

not down and locked, and collapsed during 

landing.
