review, and periodically adjust a Foreign Service Schedule, which shall 
consist of 9 salary classes that apply to members of the Service who 
are citizens of the United States and for whom salary rates are not 
otherwise provided under this chapter. The maximum salary rate for the 
highest class established under this section, which shall be designated 
class 1, may not exceed the rate of basic pay for level IV of the 
Executive Schedule under section 5315 of title 5, United States Code.
    ``(b) Adjustments.--Any adjustment in the basic salary rates for

``SEC. 406. WITHIN CLASS SALARY INCREASES.

    ``(a) Determination.--The Secretary shall determine which basic 
salary rate within a salary class on the Foreign Service Schedule shall 
be paid to members of the Service, taking into account individual 
performance, contribution to the mission of the Department, or both, 
under a rigorous performance management system that--
            ``(1) makes meaningful distinctions based upon relative 
        performance; and
            ``(2) clearly links individual pay and performance under 
        precepts prescribed by the Secretary.
    ``(b) Equal Basic Salary Adjustments.--Notwithstanding subsection 
(a), the Secretary may provide equal basic salary adjustments for all 
career candidates or other members of the Service--
            ``(1) whose performance has not been reviewed by a 
        selection board under section 602; and
            ``(2) who are found to meet the standards of performance 
        for their class.
    ``(c) Funding for Performance-Based Salary Adjustments.--
            ``(1) In general.--In order to provide funding for 
        adjustments in basic salary rates under subsection (a), the 
        Secretary shall annually allocate an amount equal to or greater 
        than the sum of--
                    ``(A) an amount that would be sufficient to fund 
                within grade salary increases under section 406(a) of 
                the Foreign Service Act as in effect on the date of the 
                enactment of the Foreign Affairs Management Authorities 
                Act of 2006; and
                    ``(B) the amount necessary to provide for pay 
                adjustments based on mission requirements, labor market 
                conditions, availability of funds, pay adjustments 
                received by employees of other Federal agencies, and 
                any other relevant factors.
            ``(2) Flexibility.--The formula set forth in paragraph (1) 
        shall--
                    ``(A) ensure that members of the Service, in the 
                aggregate, are not disadvantaged in terms of the 
                overall amount of pay available as a result of 
                conversion to the new performance-based compensation 
                system authorized by this section; and
                    ``(B) provide flexibility to accommodate changes in 
                the mix of employees and the functions they perform, 
                and other changed circumstances that might impact pay 
                levels.
            ``(3) Limitation.--A performance-based salary adjustment 
        authorized by subsection (a) may not be paid to any member of 
        the Service whose performance falls below the standards of 
        performance for the salary class of the member during the 
        applicable rating period.''.
    (d) Prohibitions.--
            (1) Locality payments prohibited.--A member of the Foreign 
        Service may not receive a locality-based comparability payment

        beginning on or after April 1, 2008.
            (2) Nonforeign area allowance or differential.--Except as 
        provided in section 103(c)(1), a member of the Foreign Service

            (1) In general.--Except as provided under subsection (b),

                    (A) shall be adjusted in accordance with section 
                5303 of title 5, United States Code; and
                    (B) shall be capped at the maximum rate of basic 
                pay for grade GS-15 of the General Schedule under 
                section 5332 of that title.
            (2) Locality pay.--A member of the Service whose official 
        duty station is located in an applicable locality pay area 
        shall continue to receive locality-based comparability payments 
        under section 5304 of title 5, United States Code.
    (b) Interim Foreign Service Schedule.--
            (1) Establishment.--Before the effective date of this 
        section, the Secretary of State shall establish an interim 
        Foreign Service Schedule for members of the Service designated 
        class 1 or below whose official duty station is not located in 
        areas for which such members receive payments pursuant to 
        section 5304 or 5941 of title 5, United States Code.
            (2) Increased rates.--The rates under the Foreign Service 
        Schedule established under this subsection shall be 9 percent 
        higher than the rates under the Foreign Service Schedule 
        described in subsection (a) unless a different percentage is 
        prescribed by the President. Each covered member shall receive 
        a corresponding increase in the member's rate of basic pay. Any 
        adjustment of the rates under the Foreign Service Schedule 
        described in subsection (a) shall result in a corresponding 
        adjustment of rates under the Foreign Service Schedule 
        established under this subsection.
            (3) Conversion rules.--The Secretary shall establish 
        conversion rules for a member who is transferred between the 
        Foreign Service Schedule described in subsection (a) and the 
        Foreign Service Schedule established under this subsection due 
        to a change in official duty station.
    (c) Step Increases.--A member covered by the Foreign Service 
Schedule (including the interim Foreign Service Schedule) shall receive 
within class salary step increases in accordance with section 406 of 
the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3966), including step 
increases that, but for the amendments made by this title, otherwise 
would have become effective on the first day of the first pay period 
beginning on or after April 1, 2008.
    (d) Effective Date.--This section shall be effective beginning on 
the first day of the first pay period beginning on or after April 1, 
2007, and ending on the effective date described in section 101(e).

    (a) Transitions and Pay Formulas.--
            (1) Conversion date.--Subject to paragraphs (2) through

        be converted to the new Foreign Service Schedule established 
        under section 403 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980, as 
        amended by section 101, on the first day of the first pay 
        period beginning on or after April 1, 2008.
            (2) Simultaneous pay actions.--Subject to section 102(c), 
        the Secretary shall determine how any applicable simultaneous 
        pay actions, including promotions, within grade increases, and 
        geographic moves, will be applied in connection with a 
        conversion, under paragraph (1).
            (3) Pay conversion formula.--Any member described in 
        paragraph (1) whose official duty station is not located in an 
        area for which members receive payments pursuant to section 
        5304 or 5941 of title 5, United States Code, shall receive an 
        increase in the member's rate of basic pay upon conversion, if 
        necessary, to ensure that the resulting rate equals the sum 
        of--
                    (A) the base rate under the Foreign Service 
                Schedule described in section 102(a) for the member's 
                class and step; and
                    (B) the amount resulting from multiplying the rate 
                described in subparagraph (A) by the locality-based 
                comparability percentage in effect for the Washington, 
                D.C. locality pay area at that time.
            (4) Locality-based pay.--Any member described in paragraph 
        (1) whose official duty station is located in an area for which 
        such members receive payments pursuant to section 5304 or 5941 
        of title 5, United States Code, shall, upon conversion, cease 
        to receive payments authorized under such sections and shall 
        receive instead an increase in the member's rate of basic pay 
        equivalent to the percentage value of the locality-based 
        comparability payment received by members of the Service 
        designated class 1 or below whose official duty station was 
        Washington, D.C. on the date of conversion.
    (b) Adjustments in the Rate of Basic Pay.--
            (1) In general.--After conversion to the Foreign Service 
        Schedule established under section 403 of the Foreign Service 
        Act of 1980, as amended by section 101, the Secretary may 
        provide a special one-time adjustment in the rate of basic pay 
        for career candidates or other members of the Service--
                    (A) whose performance has not been reviewed by a 
                selection board under section 602 of such Act (22 
                U.S.C. 4002); and
                    (B) who, if not for such conversion, would have 
                been scheduled to receive a step increase after the 
                date of conversion and before September 30, 2008.
            (2) Limitations.--Any such adjustment shall be prorated 
        based on the portion of time accrued toward achieving a step 
        increase as of the day before conversion. No adjustment under 
        this subsection may result in a rate above the maximum rate of 
        the applicable rate range.
            (3) Management right.--Adjustments under this subsection--
                    (A) shall be considered a management right under 
                section 1005(a) of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 
                U.S.C. 4105(a)); and
                    (B) are not grievances under section 1101(b) of 
                such Act (22 U.S.C. 4131(b)).
    (c) Special Transitional Rules.--
            (1) Special rules.--The Secretary may establish special 
        transitional rules to prevent a reduction in a member's rate of 
        pay due to a conversion to the Foreign Service Schedule 
        established under section 102(b). Notwithstanding subsection 
        (a)(4), such rules may authorize a member stationed in a 
        nonforeign area to temporarily continue to receive a portion of 
        an allowance or post differential under section 5941 of title 
        5, United States Code.
            (2) Applicability.--This subsection shall apply to a member 
        who, immediately before conversion--
                    (A) is entitled to a locality-based comparability 
                payment under section 5304 of title 5, United States 
                Code, at a rate exceeding the locality rate applicable 
                in Washington, D.C., at that time; or
                    (B) is entitled to a nonforeign area allowance or 
                differential under section 5941 of such title.
            (3) Treatment of temporary adjustment.--Any temporary 
        adjustment provided to a member described in paragraph (2)(A) 
        shall be treated as basic pay for the same purposes as the 
        locality-based comparability payment under section 5304 of 
        title 5, United States Code.
