Abstract: We describe the equivariant cobordism classification of smooth actions $ (M^m,\Phi)$ of the group $ G=Z_2^2$, considered as the group generated by two commuting involutions, on closed smooth $ m$-dimensional manifolds $ M^m$, for which the fixed point set of the action is a connected manifold of dimension $ n$ and $ m=4n-1$ or $ 4n-2$. For $ m \ge 4n$, the classification is known.
