Treats certain Bureau of Prisons (BOP) worksites that are currently placed in the "Rest of U.S." pay and wage areas as if they are located in the nearest other established locality or wage area, so affected BOP employees may receive the higher locality pay or prevailing‑rate wage from that nearby area. The rule uses distance and tie‑break methods (including a 200‑mile test and choosing the locality/wage area with the highest comparability payment or wage schedule) and excludes employees whose worksites are not within 200 miles of any other locality.

Implementation requires administrative steps to identify covered worksites and applicable higher pay/wage schedules; the change takes effect for pay periods that begin on or after 180 days after enactment.
