Prevailing Rate Systems; Aroostook, ME, NAF Wage Area

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

rule to abolish the Aroostook, Maine, nonappropriated fund (NAF)

Federal Wage System wage area and to redefine Aroostook and Washington

Counties, Maine, as areas of application to the Cumberland, Maine, NAF

wage area for pay-setting purposes. With the scheduled closing of

Loring Air Force Base (AFB) on September 30, 1994, and the current

downsizing of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Loring AFB

Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department, there was not a sufficient

number of employees to conduct the wage change survey scheduled in July

1994. Further, there was not a sufficient number of employees to meet

regulatory requirements for establishing a survey area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 30, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 18, 1994, OPM published an interim

rule (59 FR 36351) to abolish the Aroostook, Maine, NAF wage area for

pay-setting purposes and reassign its constituent counties to the

Cumberland, Maine, NAF wage area. 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.
