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 wage 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, contain 

no expiration dates and are effective 

from the 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,

Summary of Decisions Granting in 

Whole or in Part Petitions for 

Modification

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice of affirmative decisions 

issued by the Administrators for Coal 

Mine Safety and Health and Metal and

petitions for modification of the 

application of mandatory safety 

standards. 

SUMMARY: Under section 101 of the 

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 

1977, the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) 

may allow the modification of the 

application of a mandatory safety 

standard to a mine if the Secretary 

determines either that an alternate 

method exists at a specific mine that 

will guarantee no less protection for the 

miners affected than that provided by 

the standard, or that the application of 

the standard at a specific mine will 

result in a diminution of safety to the 

affected miners. 

Final decisions on these petitions are 

based on the petitioner’s statements, 

comments and information submitted 

by interested persons, and a field 

investigation of the conditions at the 

mine. MSHA, as designee of the 

Secretary, has granted or partially 

granted the requests for modification 

listed below. In some instances, the 

decisions are conditioned upon 

compliance with stipulations stated in 

the decision. The term FR Notice 

appears in the list of affirmative 

decisions below. The term refers to the 

Federal Register volume and page 

where MSHA published a notice of the 

filing of the petition for modification.

submersible pumps in bleeder and 

return entries and sealed areas of the 

Loveridge No. 22 Mine under specific 

terms and conditions. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the Loveridge No. 22 Mine. 

MSHA grants the petition for 

modification for the use of low- and

the boom mast at construction sites 

during initial dragline assembly, and in 

instances of disassembly or major
