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, April 11, 1996
Thursday, May 2, 1996
Thursday, May 16, 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 Chairman 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 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, Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee, Room 5559, 1900 
E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415 (202) 606-1500.

    Dated: March 11, 1996.
Anthony F. Ingrassia,
Chairman, Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee.
