OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
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.
