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, Office of Personnel Management, 
Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee, Room 5538, 1900 E Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20415, (202) 606-1500.

    Dated: December 14, 2001.
Mary M. Rose,
Chair, Federal Prevailing Rate, Advisory Committee.
