BILLING CODE 4510–28–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

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 date may be obtained by

writing to the U.S. Department of Labor,

Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Bureau of Labor Statistics

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 pre-clearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies 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 Bureau of Labor Statistics

(BLS) is soliciting comments concerning

the proposed revision of the ‘‘BLS

Occupational Safety and Health

Statistics Federal/State Cooperative

Agreement (Application Package).’’

A copy of the proposed information

collection request (ICR) can be obtained

by contacting the individual listed

below in the addresses section of this

notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addresses section below on or before

September 4, 1998. The Bureau of Labor

Statistics is particularly interested in

comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Secretary of Labor has delegated

to the BLS the authority to collect,

compile and analyze statistical data on

work-related injuries and illnesses. The

Cooperative Agreement is designed to

allow the BLS to ensure conformance

with program objectives. The BLS has

full authority over the financial

operations of the statistical program.

The BLS requires financial reporting

that will produce the information that is

needed to monitor the financial

activities of the BLS Occupational

Safety and Health Statistics grantees.

II. Current Actions

Continued collection of grantee

financial information is necessary to

maintain an effective program of

collection, compilation and analysis of

occupational safety and health statistics,

as authorized by the Occupational

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.

91–596). The burden estimates are based

on actual experience of grantees

competing the forms. Public comments

on the accuracy of the burden estimates,

as well as suggestions for reducing the

burden, are encouraged.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.
