Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of Philadelphia, PA, and New York, NY, Appropriated Fund Wage Areas

Résumé

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final rule to redefine Ocean County, NJ, excluding the portion occupied by the Fort Dix Military Reservation, from the area of application of the Philadelphia, PA, appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area to the area of application of the New York, NY, wage area. This change is being made so that the wage area definition of Ocean County will be more reflective of the transportation and commuting patterns in central New Jersey.
