ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to change the annual schedule of nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System wage surveys from a fiscal year cycle to a calendar year cycle. The purpose of this change is to move certain wage surveys to a different time of year and thus optimize the data collection process for those areas. In addition, this change would more evenly distribute the workload for the agency responsible for conducting NAF surveys. DATES: This rule is effective on December 10, 2008 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e-mail pay-performance-policy@opm.gov; or FAX: (202) 606-4264. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 28, 2008, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (73 FR 30526) to change the nationwide schedule of nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System regular wage surveys at appendix B of part 532 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, from a fiscal year cycle to a calendar year cycle. The proposed rule had a 30-day public comment period, during which OPM received no comments. Regulatory Flexibility Act I certify that these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they will affect only Federal agencies and employees. E.O. 12866, Regulatory Review The Office of Management and Budget has reviewed this final rule in accordance with Executive Order 12866.
