Funding Mechanism and Restrictions

Upon receipt and approval of the

for receipt of funds and the conditions

attendant to initial and continued

receipt of the funds. The applicant will

be expected to comply with the

following conditions prior to the

expenditure of any of the funds: all

travel funded must be in accordance

with the published U.S. Government

travel regulations; all pertinent

information regarding the cooperative

agreement must be made available to the

public; applicable civil rights and antidiscrimination statutes must be adhered

to; accounting systems and records shall

be such that the Comptroller General of

the United States shall be able to audit

the uses of the funds. Other conditions

regarding expenditures of the funds and

applicant performance shall be specified

in the terms and conditions of the

cooperative agreement that must be

executed before any funds may be

received.

For any expenditure incurred prior to

execution of the cooperative agreement,

detailed transaction records must be

submitted along with evidence

supporting that the expenditures were

for the purposes stated in the

legislation. The ONDCP/HIDTA Director

will have to approve reimbursement for

these expenditures before they can be

considered eligible grant costs.

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, January 4, 1996

Thursday, January 18, 1996

Thursday, February 8, 1996

Thursday, February 22, 1996

The meetings will start at 10:45 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 Chairman,

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

Chairman 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 the

meeting.

Annually, the Committee publishes

for the Office of Personnel Management,

the President, and Congress a

comprehensive report of pay issues

discussed, concluded recommendations,

and related activities. 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 Chairman 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,

Committee, Room 5559 1900 E Street,
