SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and
Any Associated Form(s)
9000–0066, Certain Federal
Acquisition Regulation Part 22 Labor
Requirements.
B. Needs and Uses
The revision to the information
collection is needed for the
implementation of Executive Order
(E.O.) 14063, Use of Project Labor
Agreements for Federal Construction
Projects, issued February 4, 2022 (87 FR
7363, February 9, 2022). E.O. 14063
mandates that Federal Government
agencies require the use of project labor
agreements (PLAs) for large-scale
Federal construction projects, where the
total estimated cost to the Government
is $35 million or more, unless an
exception applies. Agencies still have
the discretion to require PLAs for
Federal construction projects that do not
meet the $35 million threshold.
This clearance covers the information
that offerors and contractors must
submit to comply with the following
FAR part 22 requirements:
• FAR 52.222–2, Payment for
Overtime Premiums. This clause
requires the contractor to request
authorization for overtime premiums
costs that exceed the amount negotiated
in the contract. The request shall
include information on the affected
work unit current staffing and workload,
how a denial of the request would
impact performance on the instant
contract or other contracts, and reasons
why the work cannot be performed by
using multishift operations or by
employing additional personnel.
Contracting officers use this information
to evaluate whether the overtime is
necessary.
• FAR 52.222–6, Construction Wage
Rate Requirements, and the Standard
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
22151
Form (SF) 1444. This clause requires the
contractor to establish additional
classifications, if any laborer or
mechanic is to be employed in a
classification that is not listed in the
wage determination applicable to the
contract. In such cases, the contractor is
required to complete and submit a 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.
The contracting officer submits the SF
1444 to the Department of Labor (DOL)
Wage and Hour Division with a request
for conformance review to determine
the appropriateness of the request.
• FAR 52.222–11, Subcontracts
(Labor Standards), and the SF 1413.
This clause requires a contractor to
submit an 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 necessary to
implement various labor statutes have
been included in the subcontract.
Contracting officers review the
information on the form to ascertain
whether contractors have included the
required labor clauses in their
subcontracts.
• FAR 52.222–18, Certification
Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for
Listed End Products. This provision
(and its commercial equivalent in the
provision at 52.212–3) requires the
offeror, as part of its annual
representations and certifications, to
either certify in paragraph (c)(1) that it
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
(https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab), or
certify in paragraph (c)(2) that it has
made a good faith effort to determine
whether such child labor was used to
mine, produce, or manufacture such end
product, and is unaware of any such use
of child labor. This information is used
by the Government to ensure that a good
faith effort has been made to determine
whether forced or indentured child
labor was used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any product on the List
furnished under the contract.
• FAR 52.222–33, Notice of
Requirement for Project Labor
Agreement. When a PLA (a pre-hire
collective bargaining agreement
described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f)) is
required for a large-scale construction
project within the United States for
which the total estimated cost of the
construction contract to the Federal
E:\FR\FM\29MRN1.SGM
29MRN1
22152
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 62 / Friday, March 29, 2024 / Notices
Government is $35 million or more, this
provision requires the offeror to submit
a copy of a PLA at the time offers are
due, prior to award, or after contract
award as determined by the agency.
Subcontractors are required to become a
party to the resulting PLA. An agency
may require the use of a PLA on projects
where the total cost to the Federal
Government is less than $35 million, if
appropriate.
• FAR 52.222–34, Project Labor
Agreement. When a PLA is required for
a large-scale construction project within
the United States for which the total
estimated cost of the construction
contract to the Federal Government is
$35 million or more, this clause requires
the contractor to maintain the PLA in a
current state throughout the life of the
contract. The requirement for a PLA
flows down to all subcontracts with
subcontractors engaged in construction
on the construction project.
• FAR 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. The Government will use this
information to determine if professional
employees are compensated fairly and
properly. Plans indicating
unrealistically low professional
employees’ compensation may be
assessed adversely as one of the factors
considered in making a contract award.

C. Annual Burden
Respondents/Recordkeepers: 544,162.
Total Annual Responses: 619,558.
Total Burden Hours: 107,495 (107,174

D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register at 87 FR 51044 on
August 19, 2022, as part of a proposed
rule under FAR Case 2022–003, Use of
Project Labor Agreements for Federal
Construction Projects. Due to the public
comments received in response to the
proposed rule regarding the burden
calculations, the estimated number of
hours necessary for the implementation
of a PLA were increased from a range of
40–80 to a range of 100–200 hours. Only
the burden for the FAR provision at
52.222–33, and the FAR clause at
52.222–34 is affected by this revision.
All other FAR part 22 provisions and
clauses covered by OMB Control #9000–
0066 remain the same as previously
approved.

B. Needs and Uses
The revision to the information collection is needed for the

This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors
must submit to comply with the following FAR part 22 requirements:
FAR 52.222-2, Payment for Overtime Premiums. This clause
requires the contractor to request authorization for overtime premiums
costs that exceed the amount negotiated in the contract. The request

determination applicable to the contract. In such cases, the contractor
is required to complete and submit a SF 1444, Request for Authorization

containing the proposed additional classification and minimum wage rate
including any fringe benefits payments. The contracting officer submits
the SF 1444 to the Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division
with a request for conformance review to determine the appropriateness
of the request.
FAR 52.222-11, Subcontracts (Labor Standards), and the SF

United States, including the subcontractor's signed and dated
acknowledgment that the required labor clauses necessary to implement

Contracting officers review the information on the form to ascertain
whether contractors have included the required labor clauses in their
subcontracts.
FAR 52.222-18, Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child
Labor for Listed End Products. This provision (and its commercial
equivalent in the provision at 52.212-3) requires the offeror, as part
of its annual representations and certifications, to either certify in
paragraph (c)(1) that it 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 (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab), or certify in paragraph (c)(2) that it has

to mine, produce, or manufacture such end product, and is unaware of
any such use of child labor. This information is used by the Government
to ensure that a good faith effort has been made to determine whether
forced or indentured child labor was used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any product on the List furnished under the contract.
FAR 52.222-33, Notice of Requirement for Project Labor
Agreement. When a PLA (a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement
described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f)) is required for a large-scale
construction project within the United States for which the total
estimated cost of the construction contract to the Federal
[[Page 22152]]
Government is $35 million or more, this provision requires the offeror
to submit a copy of a PLA at the time offers are due, prior to award,
or after contract award as determined by the agency. Subcontractors are
required to become a party to the resulting PLA. An agency may require
the use of a PLA on projects where the total cost to the Federal
Government is less than $35 million, if appropriate.
FAR 52.222-34, Project Labor Agreement. When a PLA is
required for a large-scale construction project within the United
States for which the total estimated cost of the construction contract
to the Federal Government is $35 million or more, this clause requires
the contractor to maintain the PLA in a current state throughout the
life of the contract. The requirement for a PLA flows down to all
subcontracts with subcontractors engaged in construction on the
construction project.
FAR 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. The
Government will use this information to determine if professional
employees are compensated fairly and properly. Plans indicating
unrealistically low professional employees' compensation may be
assessed adversely as one of the factors considered in making a
contract award.
C. Annual Burden
Respondents/Recordkeepers: 544,162.
Total Annual Responses: 619,558.
Total Burden Hours: 107,495 (107,174 reporting hours + 321
recordkeeping hours).
D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 87 FR
51044 on August 19, 2022, as part of a proposed rule under FAR Case
2022-003, Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction
Projects. Due to the public comments received in response to the
proposed rule regarding the burden calculations, the estimated number
of hours necessary for the implementation of a PLA were increased from
a range of 40-80 to a range of 100-200 hours. Only the burden for the
FAR provision at 52.222-33, and the FAR clause at 52.222-34 is affected
by this revision. All other FAR part 22 provisions and clauses covered
by OMB Control #9000-0066 remain the same as previously approved.
