Title: ●Nonforeign Area Cost-of-Living Allowances; 2007 Interim Adjustments: Alaska and Puerto Rico (Section 610 Review) 
Abstract: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing to change the cost-of-living allowance (COLA) rates received by certain white-collar Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska, and in Puerto Rico. The proposed rate changes are the result of interim adjustments OPM calculated based on relative Consumer Price Index differences between the COLA areas and the Washington, DC, area. The proposed regulations would reduce the COLA rates for Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau by 1 percentage point and would increase the rate for Puerto Rico by 1 percentage point.
