Description: Regulations 29 CFR Part
5 prescribe labor standards for federally
financed and assisted construction
contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act
(DBA), 40 U.S.C. 3141 et seq., the DavisBacon Related Acts (DBRA), and labor
standards for all contracts subject to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act (CWHSSA), 40 U.S.C.
3701 et seq. The DBA and DBRA require
payment of locally prevailing wages and
fringe benefits, as determined by the
Department of Labor (DOL), to laborers
and mechanics on most federally
financed or assisted construction
projects. See 40 U.S.C. 3142(a) and 29
CFR 5.5(a)(1). The CWHSSA requires
the payment of one and one-half times
the basic rate of pay for hours worked
over forty in a week on most federal
contracts involving the employment of
E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM

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.
