The President's Pay AgentWashington, DC December 7, 2009 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: Annual Report on General Schedule Locality-Based Comparability Payments The law requires the President's Pay Agent to submit a report each year showing the locality-based comparability payments we would recommend for General Schedule employees in the following fiscal year if the adjustments were to be made in accordance with section 5304 of title 5, United States Code. In keeping with this statutory requirement, this report shows the adjustments that would be dictated for January 2011 if the methodology and rates required by current law were to be implemented. Given the current national emergency, however, we believe it would be unwise to allow the locality pay increases shown in this report to take effect in January 2011. You do not need to make a decision on the 2011 rates at this time. Our plans for locality pay area boundaries in 2011 and our decisions on the methodology for comparing Federal and non-Federal rates of pay also are contained in this report. The development of these recommendations has been greatly facilitated by the thoughtful work of the Federal Salary Council. The President's Pay Agent:
