Replacement of Worldwide and Nationwide Special Rate Schedules
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has split each nationwide and worldwide special rate schedule into multiple special rate schedules with more specific geographic coverage. We divided each nationwide and worldwide special rate schedule into (1) a schedule covering the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia, (2) schedules covering certain nonforeign areas (Alaska, American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands) and, for worldwide schedules, (3) a schedule covering all foreign areas. These changes allow OPM and agencies to use the special rate program to respond to staffing and labor market situations on a more localized basis.
