reserve stocks. While aggregate 

production quotas are of primary 

importance to large manufacturers, their 

impact upon small entities is neither 

negative nor beneficial. Accordingly, the 

Deputy Administrator has determined 

that this action does not require a 

regulatory flexibility analysis. 

This action meets the applicable 

standards set forth in Sections 3(a) and 

3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 Civil 

Justice Reform. 

This action will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $114,000,000 or more 

in any one year, and will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, no actions were 

deemed necessary under the provisions 

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995. 

This action is not a major rule as 

defined by Section 804 of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996. This action will 

not result in an annual effect on the 

economy of $100,000,000 or more; a 

major increase in costs or prices; or 

significant adverse effects on 

competition, employment, investment, 

productivity, innovation, or on the 

ability of United States-based 

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and 

export markets.

Dated: December 29, 2004.

Deputy Administrator.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards 

Administration; Wage and Hour 

Division 

Minimum Wages for Federal and 

Federally Assisted Construction; 

General Wage Determination Decisions 

General wage determination decisions 

of the Secretary of Labor are issued in 

accordance with applicable law and are 

based on the information obtained by 

the Department of Labor from its study 

of local wage conditions and data made 

available from other sources. They 

specify the basic hourly wage rates and 

fringe benefits which are determined to 

be prevailing for the described classes of 

laborers and mechanics employed on 

construction projects of a similar 

character and in the localities specified 

therein. 

The determinations in these decisions 

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits 

have been made in accordance with 29 

CFR part 1, by authority of the Secretary 

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of 

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931, 

as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended, 

40 U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal 

statutes referred to in 29 CFR part 1, 

124 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 1 / Monday, January 3, 2005 / Notices 

Appendix, as well as such additional 

statutes as may from time to time be 

enacted containing provisions for the 

payment of wages determined to be 

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in 

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act. 

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits 

determined in these decisions shall, in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

foregoing statutes, constitute the 

minimum wages payable on Federal and 

federally assisted construction projects 

to laborers and mechanics of the 

specified classes engaged on contract 

work of the character and in the 

localities described therein. 

Good cause is hereby found for not 

utilizing notice and public comment 

procedure thereon prior to the issuance 

of these determinations as prescribed in 

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay 

in the effective date as prescribed in that 

section, because the necessity to issue 

current construction industry wage 

determinations frequently and in large 

volume causes procedures to be 

impractical and contrary to the public 

interest. 

General wage determination 

decisions, and modifications and 

supersedeas decisions thereto, contain 

no expiration dates and are effective 

from their date of notice in the Federal 

Register, or on the date written notice 

is received by the agency, whichever is 

earlier. These decisions are to be used 

in accordance with the provisions of 29 

CFR parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the 

applicable decision, together with any 

modifications issued, must be made a 

part of every contract for performance of 

the described work within the 

geographic area indicated as required by 

an applicable Federal prevailing wage 

law and 29 CFR part 5. The wage rates 

and fringe benefits, notice of which is 

published herein, and which are 

contained in the Government Printing 

Office (GPO) document entitled 

‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued 

Under the Davis-Bacon and Related 

Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by 

contractors and subcontractors to 

laborers and mechanics. 

Any person, organization, or 

governmental agency having an interest 

in the rates determined as prevailing is 

encouraged to submit wage rate and 

fringe benefit information for 

consideration by the Department. 

Further information and selfexplanatory forms for the purpose of 

submitting this data may be obtained by
