OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee; Open Committee
Meeting
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, August 7, 1997
Thursday, August 21, 1997
Thursday, September 4, 1997
Thursday, September 11, 1997
The meetings will start at 10 a.m. and will be held in Room 5A060A,
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 meeting 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 these meetings 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: July 21, 1997.
Phyllis G. Heuerman,
Chair, Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee.
