Prevailing Rate Systems; Lead Agency Responsibility

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final rule that will change the lead agency responsibility for certain Federal Wage System (FWS) appropriated fund wage areas from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to the Department of Defense (DOD). VA requested that OPM designate DOD as the lead agency in all of the wage areas where VA currently has lead agency responsibility. This change will make DOD the lead agency in all FWS wage areas and will make more efficient use of the resources devoted by agencies to determining FWS pay rates.
