        <RULE_TITLE>Redefinition of the New Haven-Hartford and New London, CT, Appropriated Fund Federal Wage System Wage Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) plans to issue a proposed rule that would define the New Haven-Hartford and New London, CT, appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas by county rather than by city and town boundaries.  Defining the New England FWS wage areas by primarily considering county boundaries would provide greater consistency in how OPM defines FWS wage areas and would improve the ability to make direct data comparisons with Census Bureau data.  The proposed rule would define the New Haven-Hartford wage area to include Hartford and New Haven Counties, CT, as the survey area and Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, and Tolland Counties, CT, as the area of application and the New London wage area to include New London County, CT, as the survey area and Windham County, CT, as the area of application.]]></ABSTRACT>
