This Notice also lists the following information:

*Title of Proposal:*                     Semi-annual Labor Standards Enforcement Report.                 

*OMB Control Number, if applicable:*                     2501-0019.                 

*Description of the need for the information and proposed use:*                     All Federal agencies administering programs subject to Davis-Bacon wage provisions are required by Department of Labor (DOL) regulations (29 CFR Part 5, Section 5.7(b)) to submit a report of all new covered contracts/projects and all enforcement activities each six months. In order for HUD to comply with this requirement, it must collect contract and enforcement information from local agencies that administer HUD-assisted programs subject to Davis-Bacon requirements. HUD requests that local agencies complete and submit a Semi-annual Enforcement Report each six months.                           ( print page 19014)    

Local agencies and HUD must retain a copy of the Semi-annual Enforcement Report in its files.

Recordkeeping requirements add an addition 2,250 hours for a total of 11,250 hours per year.                 

*Status of the proposed information collection:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.
