Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of Oneida, NY,
Nonappropriated Fund Wage Area
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final
rule to abolish the Oneida, NY, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage
System (FWS) wage area and to establish a new Jefferson, NY, NAF wage
area with a survey area consisting of Jefferson County--currently an
unsurveyed county in the Oneida wage area. The Oneida wage area is
presently composed of one survey area county (Oneida) and nine area of
application counties (Albany, Clinton, Jefferson, Onondaga, Ontario,
Schenectady, Saratoga, Seneca, and Steuben). After this change, a new
wage area, Jefferson, NY, will include seven of these counties, with
Jefferson designated as the survey area and Albany, Oneida, Onondaga,
Ontario, Schenectady, and Steuben designated as areas of application.
Clinton, Saratoga, and Seneca, which have no FWS employees, will be
deleted.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 22, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 4, 1996, OPM published an interim
rule to abolish the Oneida, NY, wage area and to establish a new
Jefferson, NY, NAF wage area with a survey area consisting of Jefferson
County--currently an unsurveyed county in the Oneida wage area. The
Oneida wage area is presently composed of one survey area county
(Oneida) and nine area of application counties (Albany, Clinton,
Jefferson, Onondaga, Ontario, Schenectady, Saratoga, Seneca, and
Steuben).
The new wage area, Jefferson, NY, will include seven of these
counties, with Jefferson designated as the survey area and Albany,
Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Schenectady, and Steuben designated as areas
of application. Clinton, Saratoga, and Seneca, which have no FWS
employees, will be deleted. The interim rule provided a 30-day public
comment period. No comments were received. Therefore, the rule is being
adopted as a final rule.
