SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the January 1994 locality comparability
payments, the Council recommended and the President's Pay Agent
approved 28 locality pay areas; 27 are Metropolitan Statistical Areas
or Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas, and the 28th is the
Rest of the United States (RUS). The Council also recommended limited
criteria for determining ``areas of application''--i.e., counties
contiguous to a pay locality or Federal facilities crossing pay
locality boundaries.
The criteria are:
A. County-wide areas of application. To be considered, the affected
county must--

Be contiguous to a pay locality;
Contain at least 2,000 General Schedule (GS) employees;
Have a significant level of urbanization; and
Demonstrate some common linkage with the survey location for
the pay locality.

B. Federal facilities crossing pay locality boundaries. To be
included in the pay locality, the portion of a Federal facility that
crosses pay locality boundaries and is not in the pay locality must--

Have at least 1,000 GS employees;
Have the duty station(s) of the majority of the GS employees
within 10 miles of the prime critical survey boundary area; and
Have a significant number of its employees commuting from the
pay locality.

The Council welcomes written comments on the identification of pay
localities. All such submissions received by September 2, 1994, will be
provided to the Council members and included in the record of the
September 9, 1994, meeting.
The Council will consider brief oral presentations concerning the
establishment or modification of pay area boundaries at the September
9, 1994, meeting. Persons wishing to address the Council personally
should submit a written request by close of business September 2, 1994.
The request should include the name of the person(s) wishing to appear,
a short summary of the intended presentation, and an estimate of the
time needed. The Council reserves the right to limit oral presentations
if time constraints so dictate.
Written comments or requests to appear before the Council should be
submitted to: Mr. Anthony F. Ingrassia, Acting Chairman, Federal Salary
Council, 1900 E Street NW., Room 1340, Washington, DC 20415.
The Council will carefully consider oral and written comments
before making its recommendations to the President's Pay Agent. The
Office of Personnel Management, on behalf of the President's Pay Agent,
will later publish proposed regulations regarding the pay area
boundaries for a 30-day public comment period. The President Pay Agent
will make the final decision on the boundaries and include this
decision in its report to the President no later than November 30,
1994.

For the President's Pay Agent.
Lorraine A. Green,
Deputy Director.
