 Office of Personnel Management 5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AN50
 AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
 ACTION: Final rule.
 SUMMARY: This rule amends the geographic boundaries of three nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. Based on consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC), the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is defining Brown County, Wisconsin, as an area of application county to the Lake, Illinois, NAF FWS wage area; Forsyth County, North Carolina, as an area of application to the Cumberland, NC, NAF FWS wage area; and Mecklenburg County, NC, as an area of application to the Richland, South Carolina, NAF FWS wage area. These changes are necessary because there are NAF FWS employees working in these three counties, and the counties are not currently defined in regulation to NAF wage areas.
 DATES:  *Effective date:*
                         This regulation is effective on August 28, 2017. *Applicability date:*
                         This change applies on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning on or after September 27, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 15, 2017, OPM issued a proposed rule (82 FR 22298) to define— Brown County, WI, as an area of application county to the Lake, IL, NAF FWS wage area;
                Forsyth County, NC, as an area of application to the Cumberland, NC, NAF FWS wage area; and
                Mecklenburg County, NC, as an area of application to the Richland, SC, NAF FWS wage area. FPRAC, the national labor-management committee responsible for advising OPM on matters concerning the pay of FWS employees, reviewed and recommended these changes by consensus. These changes will apply on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning on or after 30 days following publication of the final regulations. The proposed 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.
