SUMMARY: The DoD is publishing this notice to announce that it is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DoD Wage Committee is being renewed,
pursuant to 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) 5343, as implemented by 5
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 532.209 and 532.227, and in
accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. chapter 10 (commonly
referred to as the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA'') and
41 CFR chapter 102-3.50(c), as a discretionary advisory committee. The
charter and contact information for the DoD Wage Committee's Designated
Federal Officer (DFO) are found at <a href="https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgencyNavigation">https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgencyNavigation</a>.
The DoD Wage Committee's work is directed by 5 CFR 532.209,
532.227, 532.231(e), and 532.243 and the Office of Personnel Management
Operating Manual, Federal Wage System, Appropriated and Non-
Appropriated Funds, S3-2 Agency Level. The DoD Wage Committee shall:
(a) consider and make recommendations to the DoD on any matter involved
in developing specifications for a wage survey on which the DoD
proposes not to accept the recommendations of a local wage survey
committee and any matters on which a minority report has been filed;
(b) consider the survey data, upon completion of a wage survey, of the
local wage survey committee's report and recommendations, and the
statistical analyses and proposed pay schedules derived from them, as
well as any other data or recommendations pertinent to the survey, and
recommends wage schedules to the pay-fixing authority; and (c) have a
majority of the DoD Wage Committee to constitute a decision and
recommendation of the DoD Wage Committee, but a member of the minority
may file a report with the DoD Wage Committee's recommendations.
The DoD Wage Committee, pursuant to 5 CFR 532.227(b), shall consist
of five members, with the chair and two members designated by the head
of the DoD. Of the remaining two members, pursuant to 5 CFR
532.227(b)(1), one member shall be designated by each of the two labor
organizations having the largest number of wage employees covered by
exclusive recognition in the DoD.
The appointment of DoD Wage Committee members will be approved by
the DoD Appointing Authority for a term of service of one-to-four
years, with annual renewal, in accordance with DoD policy and
procedures. No member, unless approved by the DoD Appointing Authority,
may serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the DoD Wage
Committee, or serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at
one time.
DoD Wage Committee members who are not full-time or permanent part-
time Federal civilian officers or employees, or active-duty members of
the Uniformed Services, shall be appointed as experts or consultants
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special government employee
members, except when otherwise provided by law or regulation. DoD Wage
Committee members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal
civilian officers or employees, or active-duty members of the Uniformed
Services, shall be designated to serve as regular government employee
members pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a). As determined by the DoD
Appointing Authority, the individuals designated by each of the two
labor organizations having the largest number of wage employees covered
by exclusive recognition in the DoD shall be appointed pursuant to 41
CFR 102-3.130(a) to serve as representative members consistent with 5
CFR 532.227(b)(1). Individual members who are appointed to serve as
representative members shall represent the views of their designated
labor organizations.
All RGE and SGE members of the DoD Wage Committee are appointed to
exercise their own best judgment on behalf of the DoD, without
representing any particular point of view, and to discuss and
deliberate in a manner that is free from conflict of interest. With the
exception of reimbursement of official DoD Wage Committee-related
travel and per diem, DoD Wage Committee members serve without
compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements to the DoD Wage Committee about the DoD Wage Committee's
mission and functions. Written statements may be submitted at any time
or in response to the stated agenda of planned meeting of the DoD Wage
Committee. All written statements shall be submitted to the DFO for the
DoD Wage Committee, and this individual will ensure that the written
statements are provided to the membership for their consideration.
