Under the National Compensation Survey(NCS), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) currently uses the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) to provide grade and local wage data required by the President's Pay Agent to comply with the requirements of the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 (FEPCA). The President's Pay Agent uses these data to recommend pay increases for Federal General Schedule workers; NCS data produces the Employment Cost Index which is designated a Principal Federal Economic Indicator under OMB Statistical Policy Directive No. 3. NCS data is used to produce employment cost trends including the ECI, the Employer Cost for Employee Compensation (ECEC), and Employee Benefits (EBS).
