The Department of Defense shall establish special wage schedules for nonsupervisory ship surveyors and supervisory ship surveyors in Puerto Rico.
Rates shall be computed as follows:
The step 2 rate for nonsupervisory ship surveyors shall be set at 149.5 percent of the WG-10, step 2, rate on the overseas schedule.
The step 2 rate of supervisory ship surveyors shall be set at 166.75 percent of the WG-10, step 2, rate on the overseas schedule.
Step rates shall be developed by using the standard formulas established in § 532.203 of this part.
The special wage schedules shall be effective on the same date as the regular wage schedules applicable to the Puerto Rico wage area.
