Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee; Open Committee 
Meetings

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice of Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee Meeting 
Dates in 2018.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    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, September 20, 2018
Thursday, October 18, 2018
Thursday, November 15, 2018
Thursday, December 20, 2018
    The meetings will start at 10 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 prevailing rate 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 are open to the public with both labor and 
management representatives attending. During the meetings either the 
labor members or the management members may caucus separately 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. Reports for calendar years 2008 to 2016 are 
posted at www.opm.gov/FPRAC. Previous reports are also available, upon 
written request to the Committee.
    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 at the Office of Personnel Management, Federal 
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee, Room 5H27, 1900 E Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20415, (202) 606-2858.

Office of Personnel Management.
