Agencies and unions may negotiate preliminary agreement setting effective date for wage increases before exact amount of increase is known, therefore, arbitrator may resolve same issue. This matter involves a request for an advance decision submitted by Ms. Jo Manzanares, an authorized certifying officer of the Engi- neering and Research Center, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, concerning the authority for implementing an arbitrator's award which set the new wage rate and the effective date for that rate for nonsupervisory hourly employees of the agency's Yakima Project Office. The issues were submitted to arbitration, in accordance with the existing collective-bargaining agreement, following an impasse in negotiations between the agency and the union representing the employees. The nonsupervisory hourly employees involved are represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local Union No. 77, under a collective-bargaining agreerment first signed in 1967 under the terms of Executive Order 10988, January 19, 1962, 27 F. R. 551. That Basic Agreement remained in effect until 1973 when the agency and the union began negotiations to revise the agree- ment to conform to the requirements of Executive Order 11491, October 29, 1969, 34 F. R. 17605, as amended. Work on the revision was completed at the local level in February 1974 and the revised Basic Agreement was forwarded to the Department of the Interior for review and approval. Wage rates in 1974 were resolved without regard to the proposed revision. Subsecuently the revised Basic Agreement was approved on March 17, 1975. ( MATTER DIGEST: :
