Title: ●Nonforeign Area Cost-Of-Living Allowances; 2008 Interim Adjustments 
Abstract: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposed to change the cost-of-living allowance (COLA) rates received by certain white-collar Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees in the Pacific and Alaska COLA areas. The proposed rate changes are the result of interim adjustments OPM calculated in 2008 based on relative Consumer Price Index differences. The proposed regulations would reduce the COLA rates for the Pacific areas and Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska, by 1 percentage point.
