OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AG56

 
Prevailing Rate Systems; Change of Lead Agency Responsibility for 
Birmingham, Alabama, Wage Area for Pay-Setting Purposes

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final 
rule to transfer lead agency responsibility for the Birmingham, 
Alabama, Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area from the Department of 
Veterans Affairs (VA) to the Department of Defense (DOD) for pay-
setting purposes. This change would recognize the fact that DOD is now 
the major employer of FWS employees in the Birmingham, Alabama, FWS 
wage area and has the capability to assume the responsibility as lead 
agency for the next full-scale survey in January 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 14, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Angela Graham Humes, (202) 606-2848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 1, 1995, OPM published a 
proposed rule (60 FR 6041) to transfer lead agency responsibility for 
the Birmingham, Alabama, FWS wage area from the Department of Veterans 
Affairs to the Department of Defense. The proposed rule provided a 30-
day period for public comment. The only comment OPM received supported 
the proposed rule. Therefore, the proposed rule is being adopted as a 
final rule.

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.
