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

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 in 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

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[DOCKET NO. 50–341]

Detroit Edison Company; Notice of

Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License, Proposed No Significant

Hazards Consideration Determination,

and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License No. NPF–

43 issued to the Detroit Edison

Company (the licensee) for operation of

the Fermi 2 plant located in Monroe

County, Michigan.

The proposed amendment would

revise Technical Specification (TS)

3.8.1.1 to change the emergency diesel

generator (EDG) allowed outage time

(AOT) from 3 to 7 days. In order to use

the extended AOT, the revised TS will

require the licensee to ensure the

alternate AC power source (combustion

turbine-generator 11–1) is operable and

to verify the planned activity is not

potentially risk significant in

accordance with use of the licensee’s

configuration risk management program

as described in a new paragraph in the

Administrative Controls section of the

TS.

The amendment was requested in a

submittal dated November 22, 1995, as

supplemented February 19, April 19,

May 3, June 12, and December 4, 1996,

January 30 and August 7, 1997, and

April 27, 1998. The staff issued a

Federal Register notice on February 28,

1996 (61 FR 7550), providing the notice

of consideration of issuance of the

amendment, proposed no significant

hazards consideration (NSHC), and

opportunity for a hearing. The portions

of the November 22, 1995, submittal

related to changes in EDG surveillance

testing and reporting requirements (also

discussed in the NSHC) were addressed

in amendment no. 107 issued on June

20, 1996. The February 19, April 19,

May 3, June 12, and December 4, 1996,

and August 7, 1997, submittals provided

additional information but did not

change the proposed TS or the staff’s

initial proposed determination of NSHC.

The January 30, 1997, submittal added

a verification that the alternate AC

source is available prior to entering the

7-day AOT. This submittal also did not

change the staff’s initial proposed

determination of NSHC. The April 27,

1998, submittal added a description of

the Fermi 2 configuration risk

management program (CRMP) to the

Administrative Controls section of the

TS. This submittal included a

determination of NSHC for the change,

as discussed below. The current notice

encompasses the changes described in

the January 30, 1997, and April 27,

1998, submittals.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendment, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

(the Act) and the Commission’s

regulations.

The Commission has made a

proposed determination that the April

27, 1998, supplemental amendment

request involves no significant hazards

consideration. Under the Commission’s

regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, this means

that operation of the facility in

accordance with the proposed

amendment would not (1) involve a

significant increase in the probability or

consequences of an accident previously

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from

any accident previously evaluated; or

(3) involve a significant reduction in a

margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR

50.91(a), the licensee has provided its

analysis of the issue of no significant

hazards consideration, which is

presented below:

1. The proposed change does not involve

a significant increase in the probability or

consequences of an accident previously

evaluated.

The Configuration Risk Management

Program (CRMP) is an Administrative

Program that assesses risk based on plant

status. This proposed change does not change

the design, configuration, or method of plant

operation. Adding the requirement to

implement this program for Technical

Specification (TS) 3.8.1.1 does not affect the

probability or the consequences of an

accident.

2. The proposed change does not create the

possibility of a new or different kind of

accident from any accident previously

evaluated.

This proposed change does not change the

design, configuration, or method of plant

operation. Therefore, this change does not

create the possibility of a new or different

kind of accident from any previously

evaluated.

3. The proposed change does not involve

a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The proposed change does not involve a

physical modification to the plant, a new

mode of operation or a change to the UFSAR

[updated final safety analysis report]

transient analyses. The proposed change

adds additional requirements to the

evaluation of equipment outages. Therefore,

the proposed change does not involve a

significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed the

licensee’s analysis and, based on this

review, it appears that the three

standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are

satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff

proposes to determine that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration.

The Commission is seeking public

comments on this proposed

determination. Any comments received

by the close of business within 30 days

after the date of publication of this

notice will be considered in making any

final determination.

Normally, the Commission will not

issue the amendment until the

expiration of the 30-day notice period.

However, should circumstances change

during the notice period such that

failure to act in a timely way would

result, for example, in derating or

shutdown of the facility, the

Commission may issue the license

amendment before the expiration of the

30-day notice period, provided that its

final determination is that the

amendment involves no significant

hazards consideration. The final

determination will consider all public

and State comments received. Should
