Prevailing Rate Systems; Definition of Oscoda-Alpena, MI, Wage Area to Northwestern Michigan Wage Area

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final

rule to abolish the Oscoda-Alpena, Michigan, Federal Wage System wage

area for pay-setting purposes. The host activity for the Oscoda-Alpena

wage area survey, Wurtsmith Air Force Base, closed at the end of June

1993. No other activity in the Oscoda-Alpena wage area had the

capability to conduct the local wage survey scheduled to begin in the

wage area in August 1993. This regulation redefines all counties

presently included in the Oscoda-Alpena, Michigan, wage area to the

area of application of the Northwestern Michigan wage area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 27, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 7, 1993, OPM published an

interim rule (58 FR 64365) to abolish the Oscoda-Alpena, Michigan, wage

area for pay-setting purposes and reassign its constituent counties to

the Northwestern Michigan wage area as areas of application. The

interim rule provided a 30-day period for public comment. OPM received

no comments during the comment period. Therefore, the interim rule is

being adopted as a final rule.

economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they
