In 2012 the Federal Salary Council recommended 12 new locality pay areas to be included for the Federal Employees and this was agreed by the Pay Agent committee . We need this active for 2015.
“The Council recommended 12 new locality pay areas be established for 2014. While the Pay Agent tentatively agreed, work was not completed on the regulations needed to establish the areas, presumably due to the President’s alternative pay plan for 2014 which holds locality pay percentages at 2013 levels. Since work has not been completed on these 12 areas, we request the Pay Agent publish the required proposed and final regulations as soon as possible to establish the 12 new locality pay areas, as the Pay Agent agreed to this recommendation in its report for 2014.”
