SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 12, 1996, OPM published an interim
rule redefining the Anchorage, AK, FWS NAF wage area to add the Valdez-
Cordova census area (a new NAF employment site) as an area of
application, to delete 10 area of application census divisions that no
longer have NAF employees, and to make other updates to reflect changes
in the names and boundaries of certain Alaska boroughs and census areas
made since the Anchorage, Alaska, NAF wage area was last defined. The
interim rule provide a 30-day period for public comment. OPM received
no comments during the comment period. Therefore, the interim rule is
being adopted as a final rule.
