Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: 2025
School Crime Supplement (SCS) to the

The SCS collects information on the
students’ victimization, perceptions of
school environment, and safety at
school. The SCS includes questions on
preventive measures used by schools;
students’ participation in after school
activities; students’ perceptions of safety
and belonging in schools; students’
perception of school rules and
enforcement of these rules; the presence
of weapons, illegal and prescription
drugs including opioids, alcohol, and
gangs in school; student bullying; haterelated incidents; and attitudinal
questions relating to the fear of
victimization at school. Minor edits
were made to the 2022 SCS
questionnaire for the 2025
administration. Some items were
removed as they were not applicable in
2025. This included specific questions

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Davis-Bacon Act
(DBA), as enacted in 1931 and
subsequently amended, requires the
payment of minimum prevailing wages
determined by the Department of Labor
to laborers and mechanics working on
federal contracts in excess of $2,000 for
the construction, alteration, or repair,
including painting and decorating, of
public buildings and public works. See
40 U.S.C. 3141 et seq. Congress has also
included the Davis-Bacon requirements
in numerous other laws, known as the
Davis-Bacon Related Acts (the Related
Acts and, collectively with the DavisBacon Act, the DBRA), which provide
federal assistance for construction
projects through grants, loans, loan
guarantees, insurance, and other
methods.
The Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 3145)
requires the Secretary of Labor to
prescribe reasonable regulations for
contractors and subcontractors engaged
in construction work subject to DavisBacon labor standards. While the federal
contracting or assistance-administering
agencies have a primary responsibility
for enforcement of these labor
standards, Reorganization Plan Number
14 of 1950 assigns to the Secretary of
Labor responsibility for developing
government-wide policies,
interpretations and procedures to be
observed by the contracting and
assisting agencies, in order to assure
coordination of administration and
consistency of DBRA enforcement. 15
FR 3176, reprinted as amended in 5
U.S.C. app. 1.
The Copeland Act provision cited
above specifically requires the
regulations to ‘‘include a provision that
each contractor and subcontractor each
week must furnish a statement on the
wages paid each employee during the
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
prior week.’’ This requirement is
implemented by 29 CFR 3.3 and 3.4 and
the standard Davis-Bacon contract
clauses set forth at 29 CFR 5.5. The
regulation at 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(3)(ii)(A)
(‘‘Frequency and method of
submission’’) requires contractors to
submit weekly a copy of all payrolls to
the federal agency contracting for or
financing the construction project. If the
agency is not a party to the contract, the
contractor will submit the payrolls to
the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the
case may be, for transmission to the
contracting agency. This provision
requires that the payrolls submitted
shall set out, accurately and completely,
the information that is required to be
maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(B)
(‘‘Information required’’).
The information that must be
included in the weekly transmittals
includes the name of each covered
worker; each worker’s correct
classification(s) of work actually
performed; hourly rates of wages paid
(including rates of contributions or costs
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits
or cash equivalents thereof of the types
described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the
Davis–Bacon Act); daily and weekly
number of hours actually worked in
total and on each covered contract;
deductions made; and actual wages
paid. The weekly transmittals also must
include an individually identifying
number for each employee (e.g., the last
four digits of the employee’s Social
Security number).
The provision at 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(ii)(B) also states what must not
be included in the weekly transmittal.
The weekly transmittal must not
include workers’ full social security
numbers, last known addresses,
telephone numbers, and email
addresses. That information must be
recorded and maintained by the
contractors as part of the record-keeping
provisions in the regulations at 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(i)(B), but it must not be
included in the weekly transmittals.
The regulations at 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(ii)(C) and 29 CFR 3.3(b) require
each contractor to furnish weekly a
signed ‘‘Statement of Compliance’’
accompanying the payroll indicating the
payrolls are correct and complete and
that each laborer or mechanic has been
paid not less than the proper DavisBacon Act prevailing wage rate for the
work performed.
The required weekly payroll
information may be submitted in any
form desired. The information
collection request that is the subject of
this notice, Optional Form WH–347, is
designed to include fields for all of the
necessary information so as to satisfy
