Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee; Open Committee 
Meetings

    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 17, 2003;
Thursday, May 1, 2003;
Thursday, May 15, 2003.
    The meetings will start at 10 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.
    This scheduled meeting 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 a 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 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: March 20, 2003.
Mary M. Rose,
Chairperson, Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee.
