Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2001 / Notices 30951

A Board of Directors cannot be

considered a parent firm, a firm related

to the subject firm by ownership, or a

firm related by control.

Conclusion

After review of the application and

investigative findings, I conclude that

there has been no error or

misinterpretation of the law or of the

facts which would justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the

application is denied.

Signed at Washington, DC this 23rd day of

May 2001.

Edward A. Tomchick,

Director, Division of Trade Adjustment

Assistance.

BILLING CODE 4510–30–M

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards Administration

Wage and Hour Division; Minimum

Wage 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

supersedeas decisions thereto,

contained 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,

Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Title 30 CFR 56.13015 and 57.13015

require compressed-air receivers and

other unfired pressure vessels be

inspected by inspectors holding a valid

National Board Commission and in

accordance with the applicable chapters

of the National Board Inspection Code,

a manual for Boiler and Pressure Vessels

Inspectors, 1979.

Title 30 CFR 56.13030 and 57.13030

require that fired pressure vessels

(boilers) be equipped with safety

devices approved by the American

Society of Mechanical Engineers

(ASME) to protect against hazards from

overpressure, flameouts, fuel

interruptions and low water level. 56/

57.13030 require that records of

inspections and repairs be retained by

the mine operator in accordance with

the requirements of the ASME Boiler

and Pressure Vessel Code and the

National Board Inspection Code

(progressive records—no limit on

retention time) and made available to

the Secretary or his/her authorized

representative.

Title 30 CFR 56.14100 and 57.14100

require equipment operators to inspect

equipment, machinery, and tools that

are to be used during a shift for safety

defects before the equipment is placed

in operation. Defects affecting safety are

required to be corrected in a timely

manner. In instances where the defect

makes continued operation of the

equipment unsafe, the standards require

removal from service, tagging to identify

that it is out of use, and repair before

use is resumed.

Title 30 CFR 56.18002 and 57.180002

require that a competent person

designated by the operator shall

examine each working place at least

once each shift for conditions which

may adversely affect safety or health. A

record that such examinations were

conducted shall be kept by the operator

for a period of one year, and shall be

made available for review by the

Secretary or his/her authorized

representative.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

related to the Safety Defects,

Examination, Correction, and Records.

MSHA 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

• 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 technolgy,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses. A copy of the proposed

information collection request may be

viewed on the Internet by accessing the

MSHA Home Page (http://

www.msha.go) and selecting ‘‘Statutory

and Regulatory Information’’ then

‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act submission

(http://www.msha.gov/regspwork.htm)’’,
