Abstract
The Office of Personnel Management is proposing to add prescribed (planned) wildland fire duties as covered activities triggering payment of Hazardous Duty Pay for General Schedule (GS) employees and Environmental Differential Pay for Federal Wage System (FWS) employees. The proposed new differentials would apply to GS and FWS employees participating as a member of a firefighting crew engaged in activities on the fireline directly involving the implementation and control of prescribed wildland fires. This rulemaking would authorize a 25 percent differential.
