DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of the Secretary
Establishing a Minimum Wage for
Contractors, Notice of Rate Change in
Effect as of January 1, 2017
Wage and Hour Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Order 13658 Background
and Requirements for Determining
Annual Increases to the Minimum
Wage Rate
Executive Order 13658 was signed by
President Barack Obama on February
12, 2014, and raised the hourly
minimum wage paid by contractors to
workers performing work on or in
connection with covered Federal
contracts to $10.10 per hour, beginning
January 1, 2015; and beginning January
1, 2016, and annually thereafter, an
amount determined by the Secretary
pursuant to the Order. See 79 FR 9851.
The Executive Order directed the
Secretary to issue regulations to
implement the Order’s requirements.
See 79 FR 9852. Accordingly, after
engaging in notice-and-comment
rulemaking, the Department published a
Final Rule on October 7, 2014 to
implement the Executive Order. See 79
FR 60634. The final regulations, set
forth at 29 CFR part 10, established
standards and procedures for
implementing and enforcing the
minimum wage protections of the
Order.
The Executive Order and its
implementing regulations require the
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
64513
Secretary to determine the applicable
minimum wage rate to be paid to
workers performing work on or in
connection with covered contracts on an
annual basis, beginning January 1, 2016.
See 79 FR 9851; 29 CFR 10.1(a)(2),
10.5(a)(2), 10.12(a). Sections 2(a) and (b)
of the Order establish the methodology
that the Secretary must use to determine
the annual inflation-based increases to
the minimum wage rate. See 79 FR
9851. These provisions, which are
implemented in 29 CFR 10.5(b), explain
that the applicable minimum wage
determined by the Secretary for each
calendar year shall be:
(i) Not less than the amount in effect
on the date of such determination;
(ii) Increased from such amount by
the annual percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI–W)
(United States city average, all items,
not seasonally adjusted), or its successor
publication, as determined by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS); and
(iii) Rounded to the nearest multiple
of $0.05.
Section 2(b) of the Executive Order
further provides that, in calculating the
annual percentage increase in the CPI–
W for purposes of determining the new
minimum wage rate, the Secretary shall
compare such CPI–W for the most
recent month, quarter, or year available
(as selected by the Secretary prior to the
first year for which a minimum wage is
in effect) with the CPI–W for the same
month in the preceding year, the same
quarter in the preceding year, or the
preceding year, respectively. See 79 FR
9851. In order to calculate the annual
percentage increase in the CPI–W, the
Department elected in its Final Rule
implementing the Executive Order to
compare such CPI–W for the most
recent year available with the CPI–W for
the preceding year. See 29 CFR
10.5(b)(2)(iii). In its Final Rule, the
Department explained that it decided to
compare the CPI–W for the most recent
year available (instead of using the most
recent month or quarter, as allowed by
the Order) with the CPI–W for the
preceding year, in order ‘‘to minimize
the impact of seasonal fluctuations on
the Executive Order minimum wage
rate.’’ 79 FR 60666.
Once a determination has been made
with respect to the new minimum wage
rate to be paid to workers performing
work on or in connection with covered
contracts, the Executive Order and its
implementing regulations require the
Secretary to notify the public of the
applicable minimum wage rate on an
annual basis at least 90 days before any
new minimum wage is to take effect.
See 79 FR 9851; 29 CFR 10.5(a)(2),
