Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: 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/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 Standards Administration

is soliciting comments concerning the

proposed extension collection of the

following information collection: (1)

Regulations 29 CFR part 5, Davis-Bacon

and Related Acts/Contract Work Hours

and Safety Standards Act Reporting

Requirements; and (2) Claim for

Compensation by Dependents

Information Reports. Copies of the

proposed information collection

requests can be obtained by contacting

the office listed below in the addressee

section of this Notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below within 60 days

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

29 CFR Part 5, Davis-Bacon and

Related Acts/Contract Work Hours and

Safety Standards Act Reporting

Requirements

I. Background

This regulation prescribes labor

standards for federally financed and

assisted construction contracts subject

to the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts

(DBRA), as well as labor standards for

construction contracts subject to the

Contract Work Hours and Safety

Standards Act (CWHSSA). The DavisBacon Act provides that every contract

69794 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 224 / Monday, November 20, 2000 / Notices

wage subject to the Act must contain a

provision (wage determination) stating

the minimum wages and fringe benefits

to be paid the various classes of laborers

and mechanics employed on the

contract. Any class of laborer or

mechanic not listed in the wage

determination which is to be employed

under the contract shall be classified in

conformance with the wage

determination, and a report of the action

shall be submitted to DOL for review

and approval. Further, where a benefit

plan is not of the conventional type

described in the Act and/or common in

the construction industry which is

established under a customary fund or

program, the regulation provides for

contractors to request approval of

unfunded fringe benefit plans.

II. Review Focus

collection of information is necessary

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the
