    Prevailing Rate Systems; Abolishment of the Marion, Indiana, 
    Nonappropriated Fund Wage Area
    
    AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
    
    ACTION: Final rule.

    SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to 
    abolish the Marion, Indiana, nonappropriated fund Federal Wage System 
    wage area and redefine its six counties as areas of application to 
    nearby nonappropriated fund wage areas for pay-setting purposes. This 
    change is being made because the closure of Fort Benjamin Harrison left 
    the Department of Defense without an activity in the wage area capable 
    of hosting local wage surveys.
    
    DATES: This regulation is effective on March 31, 1999.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 10, 1996, the Office of 
    Personnel Management (OPM) published an interim rule (61 FR 47661) to 
    abolish the Marion, IN, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System 
    (FWS) wage area and redefine its six counties having continuing FWS 
    employment. The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC), the 
    statutory national labor-management committee responsible for advising 
    OPM on matters concerning the pay of FWS employees, recommended by 
    majority vote that we abolish the Marion, IN, NAF wage area and 
    redefine its six counties as areas of application to nearby NAF wage 
    areas. Marion County, Grant County, Miami County, and Allen County, IN, 
    were redefined to the Greene-Montgomery, Ohio, NAF wage area. Martin 
    County, IN, was redefined to the Hardin-Jefferson, Kentucky, NAF wage 
    area, and Vermilion County, Illinois, was redefined to the Lake, IL, 
    NAF wage area. This change was necessary due to the closure of the 
    Marion wage area's host activity, Fort Benjamin Harrison, which left 
    the wage area without an activity having the capability to conduct 
    annual local wage surveys.
        Employees being paid rates from the Marion, IN, NAF wage schedule 
    were converted to new wage schedules on December 10, 1996. OPM 
    published an interim rule making this change and provided a 30-day 
    public comment period. During this period, OPM did not receive any 
    comments. Based on the previous recommendation of FPRAC, the interim 
    rule is being adopted as a final rule without any changes.
    
    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.

    is adopted as final with no changes.
