BILLING CODE 6325–01–M

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, June 13, 1996

Thursday, June 27, 1996

Thursday, July 25, 1996

Thursday, August 8, 1996

Thursday, August 22, 1996

Thursday, September 12, 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 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 the

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
