Federally Assisted Construction;

General Wage Determination Decisions

accordance with applicable law and are

the Department of Labor from its study

laborers and mechanics and employed

on construction projects of a similar

character and in the localities specified

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931,

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
