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

rule to redefine the Anchorage, AK, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal

Wage System (FWS) wage area for pay-setting purposes.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 22, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank Derby, (202) 606-2848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 12, 1996, OPM published an interim

rule redefining the Anchorage, AK, FWS NAF wage area to add the Valdez-

Cordova census area (a new NAF employment site) as an area of

application, to delete 10 area of application census divisions that no

longer have NAF employees, and to make other updates to reflect changes

in the names and boundaries of certain Alaska boroughs and census areas

made since the Anchorage, Alaska, NAF wage area was last defined. The

interim rule provide 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

affect only Federal agencies and employees.
