SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 31, 1996, OPM published an

interim rule to abolish the Franklin, OH, nonappropriated fund (NAF)

Federal Wage System wage area and redefine the five counties having

continuing FWS employment as areas of application to the Green-

Montgomery, OH, NAF wage area for pay-setting purposes. Those five

counties include three Ohio counties (Franklin, Licking, and Ross) and

two West Virginia counties (Raleigh and Wayne). The remaining Franklin

wage area county (Cabell) has no FWS employment and is being deleted.

received no comments during the comment period. Therefore, the interim

rule is being adopted as a final rule.
