The
Department is submitting the proposed
information collection to OMB for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35, as amended).
This Notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed
collection of information to: (1) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) Enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) Minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond; including
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Maintenance Wage
Rate Recommendation; Maintenance
Wage Rate Survey; Report of Additional
Classification and Wage Rate.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2501–0011.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Public
housing agencies (PHAs), Triballydesignated housing entities (TDHEs),
and the Department of Hawaiian
Homelands (DHHL) are required to
ensure that maintenance laborers and
mechanics employed in the operation of
HUD-assisted low-income or affordable
housing are paid no less than prevailing
wages that are determined or adopted by
HUD (section 12(a), U.S. Housing Act of
1937, as amended; sections 104(b) and
805(b) of the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination Act
of 1996, as amended). Except that,
TDHEs may, at their discretion,
implement tribally determined
prevailing maintenance wage rates
which would apply in place of HUDdetermined or -adopted wage rates.
HUD determines or adopts a schedule
of prevailing maintenance wage rates for
each PHA, TDHE (except for those
TDHEs that implement triballydetermined prevailing wage rates), and
the DHHL, annually, coinciding with
the agency’s fiscal year. In order to
ensure that the wage rates are reflective
of current economic conditions, HUD
requests that each PHA, TDHE and the
DHHL submit a recommendation of
prevailing wage rates for HUD
consideration. PHA, TDHE, and DHHL
recommendations may be based on a
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
wide variety of economic indicators
including, at the discretion of the PHA,
TDHE, or DHHL, the results of a wage
survey that the PHA, TDHE or DHHL
may conduct of maintenance employers
in their operating jurisdiction. In
addition, HUD may conduct a
maintenance wage rate survey in the
absence of a PHA/TDHE/DHHL
recommendation or to evaluate a
recommendation that has been provided
by a PHA, TDHE or DHHL. In order to
assist PHAs, TDHEs and the DHHL to
submit prevailing wage rate
recommendations and, if they choose, to
conduct and evaluate the results of a
maintenance wage survey, and to assist
HUD personnel in the conduct and
evaluation of a maintenance wage
survey, HUD instituted three forms:
Maintenance Wage Rate
Recommendation; Maintenance Wage
Rate Survey Summary; and a
Maintenance Wage Rate Survey. PHA,
TDHE or DHHL submission of a
recommendation is highly encouraged
by HUD. In the absence of an agency
recommendation, HUD will issue a
prevailing wage rate schedule based
upon its own actions, which may
include a maintenance wage survey
conducted by HUD. Participation in any
maintenance wage survey conducted by
a PHA, TDHE, DHHL, or HUD is
voluntary on the part of maintenance
employers. Maintenance wage rate
recommendations, survey summaries
and survey responses must be retained
by PHAs, TDHEs, the DHHL and HUD
to document compliance with the
statutory labor standards provisions.
Agencies, contractors and
subcontractors engaged on HUD-assisted
construction and maintenance projects
subject to Federal labor standards must
pay no less than the wages determined
to be prevailing by the Secretary of
Labor (for construction work) or
determined to be prevailing by the
Secretary of HUD (for maintenance
work) to all laborers and mechanics
engaged on such work. Occasionally,
the applicable wage decision schedule
does not contain a prevailing wage rate
for all classifications of work needed to
complete the project. In such cases, the
employer that will utilize the
classification(s) missing from the wage
decision must propose a wage rate for
each such classification for the
consideration of the Department of
Labor (DOL) and/or HUD, as
appropriate. The employer must submit
its request in writing; there is no form
specified or required for employer
submissions. HUD and local agencies
that administer HUD-assisted projects
use the form HUD–4230A to record and
E:\FR\FM\24SEN1.SGM

58857
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 185 / Monday, September 24, 2012 / Notices
submit employer additional

Forms HUD–4750 for Maintenance
Wage Rate Recommendation, HUD–

Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Public housing agencies (PHAs), Tribally-designated housing entities
(TDHEs), and the Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL) are required
to ensure that maintenance laborers and mechanics employed in the
operation of HUD-assisted low-income or affordable housing are paid no
less than prevailing wages that are determined or adopted by HUD
(section 12(a), U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended; sections 104(b)
and 805(b) of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-
Determination Act of 1996, as amended). Except that, TDHEs may, at
their discretion, implement tribally determined prevailing maintenance
wage rates which would apply in place of HUD-determined or -adopted
wage rates.
HUD determines or adopts a schedule of prevailing maintenance wage
rates for each PHA, TDHE (except for those TDHEs that implement
tribally-determined prevailing wage rates), and the DHHL, annually,
coinciding with the agency's fiscal year. In order to ensure that the
wage rates are reflective of current economic conditions, HUD requests
that each PHA, TDHE and the DHHL submit a recommendation of prevailing
wage rates for HUD consideration. PHA, TDHE, and DHHL recommendations
may be based on a wide variety of economic indicators including, at the
discretion of the PHA, TDHE, or DHHL, the results of a wage survey that
the PHA, TDHE or DHHL may conduct of maintenance employers in their
operating jurisdiction. In addition, HUD may conduct a maintenance wage
rate survey in the absence of a PHA/TDHE/DHHL recommendation or to
evaluate a recommendation that has been provided by a PHA, TDHE or
DHHL. In order to assist PHAs, TDHEs and the DHHL to submit prevailing
wage rate recommendations and, if they choose, to conduct and evaluate
the results of a maintenance wage survey, and to assist HUD personnel
in the conduct and evaluation of a maintenance wage survey, HUD
instituted three forms: Maintenance Wage Rate Recommendation;
Maintenance Wage Rate Survey Summary; and a Maintenance Wage Rate
Survey. PHA, TDHE or DHHL submission of a recommendation is highly
encouraged by HUD. In the absence of an agency recommendation, HUD will
issue a prevailing wage rate schedule based upon its own actions, which
may include a maintenance wage survey conducted by HUD. Participation
in any maintenance wage survey conducted by a PHA, TDHE, DHHL, or HUD
is voluntary on the part of maintenance employers. Maintenance wage
rate recommendations, survey summaries and survey responses must be
retained by PHAs, TDHEs, the DHHL and HUD to document compliance with
the statutory labor standards provisions.
Agencies, contractors and subcontractors engaged on HUD-assisted
construction and maintenance projects subject to Federal labor
standards must pay no less than the wages determined to be prevailing
by the Secretary of Labor (for construction work) or determined to be
