Prevailing Rate Systems; Abolishment of the King, Washington, Nonappropriated Fund Wage Area

요약

The Office of Personnel Management is issuing a proposed rule that would abolish the King, Washington, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area, establish a new Snohomish, WA, NAF FWS wage area, and remove Whatcom County, WA, as an area of application. The abolishment of the King wage area and the establishment of a new Snohomish wage area is necessary because of the closure of the King wage area's host installation, Naval Station Puget Sound. This closure has left the Department of Defense without an installation in the survey area capable of hosting annual local wage surveys. The removal of Whatcom County is necessary because there are no longer any NAF FWS employees stationed in the county.
