Download as PDF 9362 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 40 / Thursday, March 1, 2007 / Notices laborers or mechanics. See 40 U.S.C. 3702(c) and 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1). The requirements of this information collection consist of: (A) reports of conformed classifications and wage rates, and (B) requests for approval of unfunded fringe benefit plans. A. Conformance Reports (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii)): DBA section 1(a) provides that every contract subject to the DBA must contain a provision (a wage determination) stating the minimum wages and fringe benefits to be paid the various classes of laborers and mechanics employed on the contract. See 40 U.S.C. 3141(c)(1) and 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(i). This requirement necessitates a method for establishing minimum rates for classes of employees omitted from wage determinations, primarily due to wage data being unavailable; therefore, regulations 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii) requires that any class of laborer or mechanic not listed in the wage determination that is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. A report of the conformance action (or, where there is disagreement among the parties, the questions and views of all parties) shall be submitted through the contracting officer to DOL for review and approval. 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i). B. Unfunded Fringe Benefit Plans (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv)): The DBA provides that ‘‘wages’’ may include ‘‘costs to the contractor or subcontractor which may be reasonably anticipated in providing benefits to laborers or mechanics pursuant to an enforceable commitment to carry out a financially responsible plan or program.’’ 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B)(ii). Where a benefit plan is not of the conventional type described in the DBA and/or common in the construction industry that is established under a customary fund or program, it is necessary to determine from the circumstances whether the benefit is bona fide, as required by the DBA; thus, regulations 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) provides for contractors to request approval of unfunded fringe benefit plans.
