SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Wage and Hour
Division (WHD) of the Department of
Labor (DOL) administers the DavisBacon Act (DBA) and Davis-Bacon
Related Acts (DBRA), 40 U.S.C. 3141 et
seq., and the Contract Work Hours and
Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA), 40
U.S.C. 3701et seq. Regulations 29 CFR
part 5 prescribe labor standards for
federally financed and assisted
construction contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act, the Davis-Bacon
Related Acts, and labor standards for all
contracts subject to the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act. The
DBA and DBRA require payment of
locally prevailing wages and fringe
benefits, as determined by the
Department of Labor, to laborers and
mechanics on most federally financed or
assisted construction projects. 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 laborers or mechanics.
The requirements of this information
collection consist of: (1) Reports of
conformed classifications and wage
rates, and (2) requests for approval of
unfunded fringe benefit plans.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
