SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Davis-Bacon Act
(40 U.S.C. 3141, et seq.) provides, in
part, that every contract in excess of
$2,000 to which the United States or the
District of Columbia is a party for
construction, alteration, and/or repair,
which requires or involves the
employment of mechanics and/or
laborers, shall contain a provision
stating the minimum wages to be paid
various classes of laborers and
mechanics that were determined by the
Secretary of Labor to be prevailing for
the corresponding classes of laborers
and mechanics employed on projects of
a character similar to the contract work
in the city, town, village or other civil
subdivision of the State where the work
is to be performed. The Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division, through a
delegation of authority, is responsible
for issuing these wage determinations
(WDs). Section 1.3 of Regulations 29
CFR part 1, Procedures for
Predetermination of Wage Rates,
provides, in part, that for the purpose of
making WDs, the Administrator will
conduct a continuing program for
obtaining and compiling wage rate
information. Form WD–10 (Davis-Bacon
Wage Survey Report of Construction
Contractor’s Wage Rates) is used to
determine locally prevailing wages
under the Davis-Bacon and Related
Acts. The wage data collection is a
primary source of information and is
essential to the determination of
prevailing wages. This information

collection is currently approved for use
through June, 2020.
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;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

of Labor seeks approval for the
extension of this information collection
in order to ensure effective

contract programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,

paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to

clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
The Black Lung Benefits Act (30
U.S.C. 901 et. seq.) and its

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2019 / Notices
725.535 requires that DOL Black Lung
benefit payments to a beneficiary for
any month be reduced by any other
payments of state or federal benefits for
workers’ compensation due to
pneumoconiosis. See 30 U.S.C. 932(g).
To ensure compliance with this
mandate, the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs’ Division of
Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation must
collect information regarding the status
of any state or Federal workers’
compensation claim, including dates of
payments, weekly or lump sum amounts
paid, and other fees or expenses paid
out for this award, such as attorney fees
and related expenses associated with
pneumoconiosis. Form CM–905 is used
to request the amount of those workers’
compensation benefits. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through February 29, 2020. 30 U.S.C.
901 and 20 CFR 725.535 authorizes this
information collection.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
under the PRA approves it and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person shall
generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should

Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
