    Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee; Open Committee 
    Meetings
    
        According to the provisions of section 10 of the Federal Advisory 
    Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), notice is hereby given that meetings of 
    the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee will be held on--
    
    Thursday, April 16, 1998
    Thursday, April 30, 1998
    Thursday, May 14, 1998
    Thursday, June 4, 1998
    Thursday, June 18, 1998
    Thursday, July 9, 1998
    Thursday, July 23, 1998
    
        The meetings will start at 10:00 a.m. and will be held in Room 
    5A06A, Office of Personnel Management Building, 1900 E Street, NW., 
    Washington, DC.
        The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee is composed of a 
    Chair, five representatives from labor unions holding exclusive 
    bargaining rights for Federal blue-collar employees, and five 
    representatives from Federal agencies. Entitlement to membership on the 
    Committee is provided for in 5 U.S.C. 5347.
        The Committee's primary responsibility is to review the Prevailing 
    Rate System and other matters pertinent to establishing prevailing 
    rates under subchapter IV, chapter 53, 5 U.S.C., as amended, and from 
    time to time advise the Office of Personnel Management.
        These scheduled meetings will start in open session with both labor 
    and management representatives attending. During the meetings either 
    the labor members or the management members may caucus separately with 
    the Chair to devise strategy and formulate positions. Premature 
    disclosure of the matters discussed in these caucuses would 
    unacceptably impair the ability of the Committee to reach a consensus 
    on the matters being considered and would disrupt substantially the 
    disposition of its business. Therefore, these caucuses will be closed 
    to the public because of a determination made by the Director of the 
    Office of Personnel Management under the provisions of section 10(d) of 
    the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463) and 5 U.S.C. 
    552b(c)(9)(B). These caucuses may, depending on the issues involved, 
    constitute a substantial portion of a meeting.
        Annually, the Chair compiles a report of pay issues discussed and 
    concluded recommendations. These reports are available to the public, 
    upon written request to the Committee's Secretary.
        The public is invited to submit material in writing to the Chair on 
    Federal Wage System pay matters felt to be deserving of the Committee's 
    attention. Additional information on this meeting may be obtained by 
    contacting the Committee's Secretary, Office of Personnel Management, 
    Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee, Room 5559, 1900 E Street, 
    NW., Washington, DC 20415 (202) 606-1500.
    
        Dated: February 26, 1998.
    Phyllis G. Heuerman,
    Acting Chair, Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee.
