Solicitation of Public Comment
Written comments and suggestions
from the public should address one or
more of the following four points:
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information 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,
including the validity of the

B. Purpose
This information collection
requirement, OMB Control No. 9000–
0066, currently titled ‘‘Professional
Employee Compensation Plan,’’ is
proposed to be retitled ‘‘Labor-related
Requirements,’’ due to consolidation
with currently approved information
collection requirements OMB Control
Nos. 9000–0175, 9000–0089, 9000–
0014, and 9000–0155.
This clearance covers the information
that offerors and contractors must
submit to comply with the following
labor requirements in the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR):
1. 52.222–2, Payment for Overtime
Premiums. Paragraph (b) of this clause
requires a contractor requesting
overtime premiums that exceed the
amount specified in paragraph (a) of the
clause to do the following: (1) Identify
the work unit; e.g., department or
section in which the requested overtime
will be used, together with present
workload, staffing, and other data of the
affected unit sufficient to permit the
Contracting Officer to evaluate the
necessity for the overtime; (2)
Demonstrate the effect that denial of the
request will have on the contract
delivery or performance schedule; (3)
Identify the extent to which approval of
overtime would affect the performance
or payments in connection with other
Government contracts, together with
identification of each affected contract;
and (4) Provide reasons why the
required work cannot be performed by
using multishift operations or by
employing additional personnel.
2. 52.222–6, Construction Wage Rate
Requirements, paragraph (c) requires the
contractor to establish additional
classifications, if any laborer or
mechanic is to be employed in a

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 207 / Thursday, October 25, 2018 / Notices
classification that is not listed in the
wage determination applicable to the
contract. The contractor submits to the
contracting officer a Standard Form (SF)
1444, Request for Authorization of
Additional Classification and Rate,
along with other pertinent data,
containing the proposed additional
classification and minimum wage rate
including any fringe benefits payments.
OMB control numbers 1235–0023,
1235–0008, and 1235–0018 account for
records to be kept by employers under
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29
CFR 516, which is the basic
recordkeeping regulation for all the laws
administered by the Department of
Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division.
29 CFR 516, prescribes labor standards
for federally financed and assisted
construction contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA),
as well as labor standards for nonconstruction contracts subject to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act (CWHSSA).
3. 52.222–11, Subcontracts (Labor
Standards), requires contractors to
submit SF 1413, Statement and
Acknowledgment, for each subcontract
for construction within the United
States, including the subcontractor’s
signed and dated acknowledgment that
the required labor clauses have been
included in the subcontract. DOL
regulations at 29 CFR Subpart 5.6
require Federal agencies to ascertain
compliance with statutes such as the
Wage Rate Requirements (Construction)
(formerly known as the Davis-Bacon
Act) (40 U.S.C. chapter 31), the
Copeland Act (Anti-Kickback) (18
U.S.C. 874 and 40 U.S.C. 3145), and the
Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.)
4. 52.222–18, Certification Regarding
Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed
End Products, requires offerors to certify
they will not supply an end product of
a type identified on the DOL List of
Products Requiring Contractor
Certification as to Forced or Indentured
Child Labor, or that the offeror will
supply such product, but made a good
faith effort to determine whether forced
or indentured child labor was used to
mine, produce, or manufacture any
product furnished under the contract
and is unaware of any such use of child
labor. For solicitations for commercial
items, the Certification Regarding
Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed
End Products is at paragraph (i) of the
provision at 52.212–3, Offeror
Representations and Certifications—
Commercial Items. This requirement is
necessary to comply with Executive
Order 13126, Prohibition of Acquisition
of Products Produced by Forced or

Indentured Child Labor, signed by
President Clinton on June 12, 1999.
5. 52.222–33, Notice of Requirement
for Project Labor Agreement, and
52.222–34, Project Labor Agreement,
require offerors (provision) to submit,
and contractors (clause) to maintain, a
copy of the project labor agreement
(PLA). Agencies have discretion on
whether or not to use a PLA in
connection with large-scale construction
contracts, valued at or above $25M.
Agencies may require the PLA be
submitted: (1) When offers are due, (2)
prior to award (by the apparent
successful offeror), or (3) after award.
6. 52.222–46, Evaluation of
Compensation for Professional
Employees. This provision requires
offerors to submit for evaluation a total
compensation plan setting forth
proposed salaries and fringe benefits for
professional employees working on the
contract. This is required for negotiated
service contracts when the contract
amount is expected to exceed $700,000
and the service to be provided will
require meaningful numbers of
professional employees.

B. Purpose
This information collection requirement, OMB Control No. 9000-0066,
currently titled ``Professional Employee Compensation Plan,'' is
proposed to be retitled ``Labor-related Requirements,'' due to
consolidation with currently approved information collection
requirements OMB Control Nos. 9000-0175, 9000-0089, 9000-0014, and
9000-0155.
This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors
must submit to comply with the following labor requirements in the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR):
1. 52.222-2, Payment for Overtime Premiums. Paragraph (b) of this
clause requires a contractor requesting overtime premiums that exceed
the amount specified in paragraph (a) of the clause to do the
following: (1) Identify the work unit; e.g., department or section in

extent to which approval of overtime would affect the performance or
payments in connection with other Government contracts, together with
identification of each affected contract; and (4) Provide reasons why
the required work cannot be performed by using multishift operations or
by employing additional personnel.
2. 52.222-6, Construction Wage Rate Requirements, paragraph (c)
requires the contractor to establish additional classifications, if any
laborer or mechanic is to be employed in a
[[Page 53877]]
classification that is not listed in the wage determination applicable
to the contract. The contractor submits to the contracting officer a
Standard Form (SF) 1444, Request for Authorization of Additional
Classification and Rate, along with other pertinent data, containing
the proposed additional classification and minimum wage rate including
any fringe benefits payments. OMB control numbers 1235-0023, 1235-0008,
and 1235-0018 account for records to be kept by employers under the
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 CFR 516, which is the basic
recordkeeping regulation for all the laws administered by the
Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division. 29 CFR 516,
prescribes labor standards for federally financed and assisted
construction contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts
(DBRA), as well as labor standards for non-construction contracts
subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA).
3. 52.222-11, Subcontracts (Labor Standards), requires contractors
to submit SF 1413, Statement and Acknowledgment, for each subcontract
for construction within the United States, including the
subcontractor's signed and dated acknowledgment that the required labor
clauses have been included in the subcontract. DOL regulations at 29
CFR Subpart 5.6 require Federal agencies to ascertain compliance with
statutes such as the Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) (formerly
known as the Davis-Bacon Act) (40 U.S.C. chapter 31), the Copeland Act
(Anti-Kickback) (18 U.S.C. 874 and 40 U.S.C. 3145), and the Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.)
4. 52.222-18, Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for
Listed End Products, requires offerors to certify they will not supply
an end product of a type identified on the DOL List of Products
Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child
Labor, or that the offeror will supply such product, but made a good
faith effort to determine whether forced or indentured child labor was
used to mine, produce, or manufacture any product furnished under the
contract and is unaware of any such use of child labor. For
solicitations for commercial items, the Certification Regarding
Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products is at paragraph (i) of
the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications--
Commercial Items. This requirement is necessary to comply with
Executive Order 13126, Prohibition of Acquisition of Products Produced
by Forced or Indentured Child Labor, signed by President Clinton on
June 12, 1999.
5. 52.222-33, Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement,
and 52.222-34, Project Labor Agreement, require offerors (provision) to
submit, and contractors (clause) to maintain, a copy of the project
labor agreement (PLA). Agencies have discretion on whether or not to
use a PLA in connection with large-scale construction contracts, valued
at or above $25M. Agencies may require the PLA be submitted: (1) When
offers are due, (2) prior to award (by the apparent successful
offeror), or (3) after award.
6. 52.222-46, Evaluation of Compensation for Professional
Employees. This provision requires offerors to submit for evaluation a
total compensation plan setting forth proposed salaries and fringe
benefits for professional employees working on the contract. This is
required for negotiated service contracts when the contract amount is
expected to exceed $700,000 and the service to be provided will require
meaningful numbers of professional employees.
