Abstract
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final rule to define San Mateo County, California, as an area of application county to the Monterey, CA, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area. This change is necessary because there are three NAF FWS employees working in San Mateo County, and the county is not currently defined to a NAF wage area.

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final
rule to define San Mateo County, California, as an area of application

not currently defined to a NAF wage area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 21, 2022, OPM issued a proposed
rule (87 FR 57651) to define San Mateo County, California, as an area
of application county to the Monterey, CA, NAF FWS wage area.
The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC), the
national labor-management committee responsible for advising OPM on
matters concerning the pay of FWS employees, reviewed and recommended
these changes by consensus.
The 30-day comment period ended on October 21, 2022. OPM received
one comment in support of the proposal to define San Mateo County, CA,
to the Monterey, CA wage area.
Regulatory Impact Analysis
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993)
and is therefore not subject to review under E.O. 12866 and 13563 (76
FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
OPM certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities because they will
affect only Federal agencies and employees.
Federalism
We have examined this rule in accordance with Executive Order
13132, Federalism, and have determined that this rule will not have any
negative impact on the rights, roles and responsibilities of State,
local, or tribal governments.
Civil Justice Reform
This regulation meets the applicable standard set forth in
Executive Order 12988.
Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100
million or more in any year and it will not significantly or uniquely
affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary
under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency management, personnel, and
organization and does not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of nonagency parties and, accordingly, is not a ``rule'' as
that term is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA)).
Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not apply.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose any new reporting or record-keeping
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
