SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to
remove Schuylkill County, PA, from the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, PA,
Federal Wage System wage area and reassign the county to the
Harrisburg, PA, area of application. This rule also moves Adams County
and Perry County, PA, from the Harrisburg survey area to the Harrisburg
area of application. Additionally, this rule adds Manassas and Manassas
Park, two independent cities in Virginia, to the Washington, DC, FWS
wage area definition. This rule also corrects a printing error by
reinserting McLennan County, TX, in the Waco, TX, FWS wage area
listing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 1995.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Allen, (202) 606-2848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is
currently engaged in an ongoing system-wide review of the geographic
definitions of Federal Wage System (FWS) appropriated fund wage areas.
On December 28, 1994, OPM published a proposed rule (59 FR 66795)
communicating changes and technical corrections in FWS wage area
definitions. The proposed rule provided a 30-day period for public
comment. OPM received no comments during the comment period. Therefore,
the proposed rule is being adopted as a final rule without any changes.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

I certify that these regulations would not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they
would affect only Federal agencies and employees.
