DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment Standards Administration
Wage and Hour Division
Minimum Wages for Federal and
Federally Assisted Construction;
General Wage Determination Decisions
General wage determination decisions
of the Secretary of Labor are issued in
accordance with applicable law and are
based on the information obtained by
the Department of Labor from its study
of local wage conditions and data made
available from other sources. They
specify the basic hourly wage rates and
fringe benefits which are determined to
be prevailing for the described classes of
laborers and mechanics employed on
construction projects of a similar
character and in the localities specified
therein.
The determinations in these decisions
of prevailing rates and fringe benefits
have been made in accordance with 29
CFR part 1, by authority of the Secretary
of Labor pursuant to the provisions of
the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931,
as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended,
40 U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal
statutes referred to in 29 CFR part 1,
Appendix, as well as such additional
statutes as may from time to time be
enacted containing provisions for the
payment of wages determined to be
prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in
accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.
The prevailing rates and fringe benefits
determined in these decisions shall, in
accordance with the provisions of the
foregoing statutes, constitute the
minimum wages payable on Federal and
federally assisted construction projects
to laborers and mechanics of the
specified classes engaged on contract
work of the character and in the
localities described therein.
Good cause is hereby found for not
utilizing notice and public comment
procedure thereon prior to the issuance
of these determinations as prescribed in
5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay
in the effective date as prescribed in that
section, because the necessity to issue
current construction industry wage
determinations frequently and in large
volume causes procedures to be
impractical and contrary to the public
interest.
General wage determination
decisions, and modifications and
supersedeas decisions thereto, contain
no expiration dates and are effective
from the date of notice in the ‘‘Federal
Register’’, or on the date written notice
VerDate jul<14>2003
16:11 Mar 24, 2005

is received by the agency, whichever is
earlier. These decisions are to be used
in accordance with the provisions of 29
CFR parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the
applicable decision, together with any
modifications issued, must be made a
part of every contract for performance of
the described work within the
geographic area indicated as required by
an applicable Federal prevailing wage
law and 29 CFR part 5. The wage rates
and fringe benefits, notice of which is
published herein, and which are
contained in the Government Printing
Office (GPO) document entitled
‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued
Under The Davis-Bacon And Related
Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by
contractors and subcontractors to
laborers and mechanics.
Any person, organization, or
governmental agency having an interest
in the rates determined as prevailing is
encouraged to submit wage rate and
fringe benefit information for
consideration by the Department.

submitting this data may be obtained by

Background
The satellite carrier compulsory
license establishes a statutory copyright
licensing scheme for satellite carriers
that retransmit over–the–air television
broadcast signals to satellite dish
owners. 17 U.S.C. 119. Congress created
the license in 1988 with the passage of
the Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1988.
Congress reauthorized the satellite
license for additional five–year periods
in 1994 and 1999, and the license was
slated to expire on December 31, 2004.
However, Congress again reauthorized
the satellite license for another five
years with the passage of the Satellite
Home Viewer Extension and
Reauthorization Act of 2004
(‘‘SHVERA’’) (as part of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005),
Pub. L. 108–447, which was signed into
law by the President on December 8,
2004.
Rates for the statutory license were
initially set by Congress in the Satellite
Home Viewer Act of 1988 and then later
adjusted by a three–person arbitration
panel convened by the former Copyright
Royalty Tribunal. 57 FR 19052 (May 1,
1992). When the license was
reauthorized in 1994, Congress directed
that the rates be adjusted by the
Librarian of Congress using the system
that replaced the Copyright Royalty
Tribunal, namely, a Copyright
Arbitration Royalty Panel (‘‘CARP’’).
Accordingly, the Librarian adjusted the
rates in 1997. 62 FR 55742 (October 28,
1997). In the Satellite Home Viewer
Improvement Act of 1999, which
reauthorized the license for an
additional five years, Congress reduced
the rates set by the Librarian. 17 U.S.C.
119(c)(4).
SHVERA adopts the rates as reduced
by Congress in 1999 for the
retransmission of analog signals but
calls for the adjustment of those rates.1
In addition, SHVERA calls for the
setting of rates, for the first time, for the
retransmission of the primary digital
transmissions of network stations and
superstations. SHVERA provides that
the rates to be paid by satellite carriers
for the retransmission of digital signals
shall be the rates set by the Librarian in
1997 for the retransmission of analog
signals, 37 CFR 258.3(b)(1)&(2), reduced
1 The Library has begun the process to adjust the
rates paid for the retransmission of analog signals.
See 69 FR 78482 (December 30, 2004); 70 FR 3656
(January 26, 2005).
