Proposed Information Collection

Request Submitted for Public

Comment and Recommendations;

Forms for Agricultural Recruitment

System

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden

conduct a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently, the

Employment and Training

Administration is soliciting comments

concerning the proposed extension of

the information collection of the

Agricultural and Food Processing

Clearance Order, Form ETA–790,

Agricultural and Food Processing

Clearance Memorandum, Form ETA–

795, Migrant Worker Itinerary, Form

ETA–785, and Job Service Manifest

Record, Form ETA–785A.

A copy of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the employee listed below in

the contact section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted on or before October 27,

1997. Written comments should

evaluate whether the proposed

information collection is necessary for

the proper performance of the functions

of the agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s

estimate of the burden of the proposed

collection of information including the

validity of the methodology and

assumptions used; enhance the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected; and minimize the burden

of the collection of information on those

who are to respond, including through

the use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses.

extend job orders beyond their

jurisdictions. Applicant holding local

offices use the Agricultural Clearance

Memorandum to give notice of action on

a clearance order, request additional

information, report results, and to

accept or reject the extended job order.

State agencies use the Migrant Worker

Itinerary to transmit employment and

supportive service information to labordemand areas, and to assist migrant

workers in obtaining employment. The

Job Service Manifest Record shows

names, addresses, and characteristics of

all people name on the Migrant Worker

Itinerary.

II. Current Actions

This is a request for OMB approval

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) of an

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
45448 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 166 / Wednesday, August 27, 1997 / Notices

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,

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

supersedes 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

writing to the U.S. Department of Labor,

Employment Standards Administration,

Wage and Hour Division, Division of

Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Room S–3014,

Withdrawn General Wage

Determination Decision

This is to advise all interested parties

that the Department of Labor is

withdrawing, from the date of this

notice, General Wage Determination No.

VA970068 dated April 4, 1997.

Agencies with construction projects

pending, to which this wage decision

would have been applicable, should

utilize Wage Decision No. VA970063.

Contracts for which bids have been

opened shall not be affected by this

notice. Also, consistent with 29 CFR

1.6(c)(2)(i)(A), when the opening of bids

is less than ten (10) days from the date

of this notice, this action shall be

effective unless the agency finds that

there is insufficient time to notify

bidders of the change and the finding is

documented in the contract file.
