AGENCY:
U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to correct several minor formatting, spelling, and typographical errors in appendix D to subpart B of part 532—Nonappropriated Fund (NAF) Wage and Survey Areas. This document also corrects editorial or printing errors, inconsistencies, and omissions made in previously published rules. The purpose of this rule is not to make policy changes for Federal Wage System (FWS) NAF employees but rather to ensure Appendix D accurately reflects the correct wage area definitions for NAF employees as recommended by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC). FWS NAF employees will not be affected by the corrections in this final rule because the lead agency for FWS NAF surveys has followed FPRAC recommended wage area definitions when conducting wage surveys and publishing wage schedules. For the convenience of the reader, Appendix D is being reprinted in its entirety.
DATES:
This rule is effective on September 13, 2010.

On April 6, 2010, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (75 FR 17316) to make several minor corrections to appendix D to subpart B of part 532—Nonappropriated Fund (NAF) Wage and Survey Areas. The revisions contained in this rule concern formatting, spelling, and typographical errors. This document also corrects editorial or printing errors, inconsistencies, and omissions made in previously published rules. The purpose of this rule is not to make policy changes for Federal Wage System (FWS) NAF employees but rather to ensure Appendix D accurately reflects the correct wage area definitions for NAF employees as recommended by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC). FWS NAF employees are not affected by the corrections in this final rule because the lead agency for FWS NAF surveys has followed FPRAC recommended wage area definitions when conducting wage surveys and publishing wage schedules. Appendix D is being reprinted in its entirety. The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period, during which OPM received no comments. Therefore, we are adopting the proposed rule as final.
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.
