organizations and experts in the fields of labor relations or pay 
policy. The Council makes recommendations to the President's Pay Agent 
(the Secretary of Labor and the Directors of the Office of Management 
and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management) about the locality 
pay program for General Schedule employees under section 5304 of title 
5, United States Code. The Council's recommendations cover the 
establishment or modification of locality pay areas, the coverage of 
salary surveys, the process of comparing Federal and non-Federal rates 
of pay, and the level of comparability payments that should be paid.
    At this meeting, the Council will consider whether any changes 
should be recommended in locality pay area boundaries and may also 
consider which geographic locations should be surveyed for locality pay 
purposes and other aspects of the locality pay program. The Council 
will review the new metropolitan statistical areas announced by the 
Office of Management and Budget in June 2003, new commuting pattern 
data, and other information related to establishing or modifying 
locality pay area boundaries. The Council will meet again later this 
fall to continue this review and formulate its recommendations for 
locality pay areas, methodology, and rates for 2005. The meeting is 
open to the public.
