Proposed Collection; Comment

Request for Review of a Revised

Information Collection: RI 25–37

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–13, May 22, 1995), this

notice announces that the Office of

Personnel Management (OPM) intends

to submit to the Office of Management

and Budget a request for review of an

information collection. Form RI 25–37,

Evidence to Prove Dependency of a

Child, is designed to collect sufficient

information for OPM to determine

whether the surviving child of a

deceased Federal employee is eligible to

receive benefits as a dependent child.

Approximately 250 forms are

completed annually. We estimate it

takes approximately 60 minutes to

assemble the needed documentation.

The annual burden is 250 hours.

Comments are particularly invited on:

whether this information is necessary

for the proper performance of functions

of OPM, and whether it will have

practical utililty; whether our estimate

of the public burden of this collection

of information is accurate, and based on

valid assumptions and methodology;

and ways in which we can minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, through

the use of appropriate technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–

8358, FAX (202) 418–3251 or E-mail to

mbtoomey@opm.gov. Please include a

mailing address with you request.

DATES: Comments on this proposal

should be received within 60 calendar

days from the date of this publication.

Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory

Committee Open Committee Meetings

According to the provisions of section

10 of the Federal Advisory Committee

Act (Public Law 92–463), notice is

hereby given that meetings of the

Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory

Committee will be held on—

Thursday, January 10, 2002,

Thursday, January 24, 2002, and

Thursday, February 7, 2002.

The meetings will start at 10:00 a.m.

and will be held in Room 5H09, 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

blue-collar Federal 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, of title 5,

United States Code, as amended, and

from time to time advise the Office of

Personnel Management. The 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

(Public Law 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

recommendations made. 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,

Committee, Room 5538, 1900 E Street

Chair, Federal Prevailing Rate, Advisory

Committee.
