Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 185 / Wednesday, September 24, 1997 / Notices 49995

Background

On July 30, 1997, a petition was filed

with the Commission and the

Department of Commerce by counsel on

behalf of Al Tech Specialty Steel Corp.,

Dunkirk, NY; Carpenter Technology

Corp., Reading, PA; Republic

Engineered Steels, Massilon, OH; Talley

Metals Technology, Inc., Hartsville, SC;

and the United Steelworkers of

America, AFL–CIO/CLC, alleging that

an industry in the United States is

materially injured and threatened with

material injury by reason of subsidized

imports of stainless steel wire rod from

Italy, and by reason of LTFV imports of

such merchandise from Germany, Italy,

Japan, Korea, Spain, Sweden, and

Taiwan. Accordingly, effective July 30,

1997, the Commission instituted

preliminary countervailing duty

investigation No. 701–TA–373

(Preliminary) and preliminary

antidumping investigations Nos. 731–

TA–769 through 775 (Preliminary).

Notice of the institution of the

Commission’s investigations and of a

public conference to be held in

connection therewith was given by

posting copies of the notice in the Office

of the Secretary, U.S. International

Trade Commission, Washington, DC,

and by publishing the notice in the

Federal Register of August 6, 1997 (62

FR 42263). The conference was held in

Washington, DC, on August 21, 1997,

and all persons who requested the

opportunity were permitted to appear in

person or by counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determinations in these investigations to

the Secretary of Commerce on

September 15, 1997. The views of the

Commission are contained in USITC

Publication 3060 (September 1997),

entitled ‘‘Stainless Steel Wire Rod from

Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain,

Sweden, and Taiwan: Investigation No.

701–TA–373 and Nos. 731–TA–769

through 775 (Preliminary).’’

Issued: September 19, 1997.

By order of the Commission.

Donna R. Koehnke,

Secretary.

BILLING CODE 7020–02–P

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary

Advisory Council on Employee Welfare

and Pension Benefit Plans; Extending

the Time for Receipt of Nominations

Section 512 of the Employee

(ERISA), 88 Stat. 895, 29 U.S.C. 1142,

provides for the establishment of an

‘‘Advisory Council on Employee

Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans’’ (the

Council), which is to consist of 15

members to be appointed by the

Secretary of Labor (the Secretary) as

follows: Three representatives of

employee organizations (at least one of

whom shall be representative of an

organization whose members are

participants in a multiemployer plan);

three representatives of employers (at

least one of whom shall be

representative of employers maintaining

or contributing to multiemployer plans);

one representative each from the fields

of insurance, corporate trust, actuarial

counseling, investment counseling,

investment management and

accounting; and three representatives

from the general public (one of whom

shall be a person representing those

receiving benefits from a pension plan).

No more than eight members of the

Council shall be members of the same

political party.

Members shall be persons qualified to

appraise the programs instituted under

ERISA. Appointments are for terms of

three years. The prescribed duties of the

Council are to advise the Secretary with

respect to the carrying out of his or her

functions under ERISA, and to submit to

Secretary with respect to the carrying

out of his or her functions under ERISA,

and to submit to the Secretary, or his or

her designee, recommendations with

respect thereto. The Council will meet

at least four times each year, and

Secretary will be included in the

Secretary’s annual report to the

Congress on ERISA.

The terms of five members of the

Council expire Friday, November 14,

1997. The groups or fields represented

are as follows: employee organizations

counseling, actuarial counseling,

employers and the general public

(pensioners). In addition, this year

nominations also are being sought for

individuals interested in an

appointment to fill one year of a

unexpired three-year term of a Council

member who died while serving on the

Council. That unexpired term calls for

naming an employee organization

Accordingly, notice is hereby given

that any person or organization desiring

to recommend one or more individuals

for appointment to the ERISA Advisory

Council on Employee Welfare and

Pension Benefit Plans to represent any

of the groups or fields specified in the

preceding paragraph, may submit

summary of the candidate’s

qualifications should be included with

the nomination.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of

September, 1997.

BILLING CODE 4510–29–M

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,

Appendix, as well as such additional
49996 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 185 / Wednesday, September 24, 1997 / Notices

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 part

of every contract for performance of the

described work without 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,

Washington, D.C. 20210.

Modifications to General Wage

Determination Decisions

Government Printing Office document

entitled ‘‘General Wage Determinations

Issued Under the Davis-Bacon and

Related Acts’’ being modified are listed
