OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
5 CFR Part 532
RIN 3206-AN94
Prevailing Rate Systems; Definition of Pitt County, North
Carolina, to a Nonappropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage Area
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final
rule to define Pitt County, North Carolina, as an area of application
county to the Wayne, NC, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System
(FWS) wage area. This change is necessary because there is one NAF FWS
employee working in Pitt County, and the county is not currently
defined to a NAF wage area.
DATES:
Effective date: This regulation is effective May 7, 2020.
Applicability date: This change applies on the first day of the
first applicable pay period beginning on or after May 7, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at
(202) 606-2858 or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 31, 2019, OPM issued a proposed
rule (84 FR 72250) to define Pitt County, NC, as an area of application
county to the Wayne, NC, NAF FWS wage area. This change is based on a
majority recommendation of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory
Committee (FPRAC), the national labor-management committee responsible
for advising OPM on the administration of the FWS.
The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period, during which OPM
received no comments.
Regulatory Impact Analysis
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993)
and is therefore not subject to review under E.O. 12866 and 13563 (76
FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs
This rule is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because
this rule is not significant under E.O. 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
OPM certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities because it will affect
only Federal agencies and employees.
Federalism
We have examined this rule in accordance with Executive Order
13132, Federalism, and have determined that this rule will not have any
negative impact on the rights, roles and responsibilities of State,
local, or tribal governments.
Civil Justice Reform
This regulation meets the applicable standard set forth in
Executive Order 12988.
Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100
million or more in any year and it will not significantly or uniquely
affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary
under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency management, personnel, and
organization and does not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of nonagency parties and, accordingly, is not a ``rule'' as
that term is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA)).
Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not apply.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
