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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 190 / Friday, September 29, 2000 / Notices 58567

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

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 statues, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Background

The Department of Labor, as part of its

continuing effort to reduce paperwork

and respondent burden, conducts a

preclearance consultation program to

provide the general public and Federal

agencies with an opportunity to

comment on proposed and continuing

information-collection requirements in

accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA–95) (44

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program

ensures that information is in the

desired format, reporting burden (time

and costs) is minimal, collection

instruments are clearly understood, and

OSHA’s estimate of the information

burden is correct. The Occupational

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act)

authorizes information collection by

employers as necessary or appropriate

for enforcement of the Act or for

developing information regarding the

causes and prevention of occupational

injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29

U.S.C. 657).

The basic purpose of the informationcollection requirements in the Lead in

Construction Standard is to document

that employers in the construction

industry are providing their employees

with protection from hazardous lead

exposures. Lead exposure can result in

both acute and chronic effects, and can

be fatal at high exposure levels. Health

affects associated with lead exposure

include: Neurological problems that

may result in seizures, coma, and death;

high blood pressure; kidney and

reproductive problems; and decreased

red blood cell production.

The standard specifies the following

requirements that impose paperwork

burdens on employers: Establishing a

compliance program and notifying other

onsite employers (at multi-employer

worksites) and laundry personnel of the

lead hazard; instituting programs for

exposure monitoring and medical

surveillance (including medical

examinations); notifying employees of

exposure levels, biological-monitoring

results, the option for multiplephysician review, and the availability of

chelation; providing information to

physicians; obtaining written medical

opinions; implementing employeeinformation and training programs

(including providing employees with

copies of the standard, and employees

and other specified parties with copies

of the training and information

materials); recording medical removals;

maintaining and transferring records of
