DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards Administration

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 collections: (1)

Maintenance of Receipts for Benefits

Paid by a Coal Mine Operator (CM–200);

(2) Claim for Reimbursement-Assisted

Reemployment (CA–2231); and (3)

Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Report

for Transportation Subject to

Department of Transportation

Requirements (WH–514) and Vehicle

Mechanical Inspection Report for

Transportation Subject to Department of

Labor Safety Standards (WH–514a).

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 on or before

March 13, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Maintenance of Receipt for Benefits

Paid by a Coal Mine Operator (CM–200)

I. Background

The Office of Worker’s Compensation

Programs (OWCP) administers the

Federal Black Lung Benefits Act

(FBLBA). Under 20 CFR 725.531, selfinsured coal mine operators or

insurance carriers must maintain

receipts for black lung benefits

payments made for five years after the

date on which the receipt was executed.

This requirement is designated as CM–

200, Maintenance of Receipts for

Benefits Paid by A Coal Mine Operator.

There is no form or format for the

receipts; a cancelled check will satisfy

the requirement.

II. Review Focus

The Department of Labor 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;

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 9 / Friday, January 12, 2001 / Notices 2941

• Enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

III. Current Actions

claimants has been made and received.

contractor, agricultural employers, or

agricultural associations who use any

vehicle to transport a migrant or

seasonal agricultural worker, ensure that

such vehicle conforms to vehicle safety

other applicable Federal and State safety

standards. The use of forms WH–514

and WH–514a enable an applicant to

verify to the Department or appropriate

transport such workers meet these safety

standards. The WH–514 is used to verify

that Department of Transportation safety

standards are set for all vehicles other

than passenger automobiles or station

verify that Department of Labor safety

standards are met for all vehicles

including passenger automobiles or

station wagons.

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 data may be obtained by

writing to the U.S. Department of Labor,

Employment Standards Administration,
