Grant Program for Land Processes

AGENCY: National Mapping Division,

USGS, DOI.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Geological Survey’s

National Mapping Division is initiating

a Data Grant Program to distribute

remotely sensed data acquired by Earthorbiting satellites. Landsat multispectral

scanner (MSS) data and advanced very

high resolution radiometer (AVHRR)

data will be provided at no cost to a

limited number of qualified nonprofit

organizations that will apply these data

to land processes research. These data

are limited to conterminous United

States, Alaska, and Hawaii sites. A

detailed information packet is available.

DATES: Data Grant Program requests due

April 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Data Grant Program,

Science and Applications Branch, U.S.

Geological Survey, EROS Data Center,

Sioux Falls, SD 57198.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

National Mapping Division’s Data Grant

Program provides an opportunity for

nonprofit organizations to obtain

remotely sensed satellite data at no cost.

This program provides no support other

than data. Nonprofit organizations may

apply by submitting Data Grant Program

requests.

Remotely sensed data offered through

this program and identified in all

related requests must be applied to land

processes research. Land processes are

defined broadly as the set of natural

processes and human activities that

affect the chemical composition,

physical properties, and geographic

distribution of materials (including

inland and coastal waters and ice) on

the continental land surface. Effects of

these processes must be expressed at the

surface if the data being offered are to

be useful. Researchers engaged in any

field of physical, biological, or social

science and who are interested in

investigation land processes and their

effects are encouraged to submit Data

Grant Program requests.

The Data Grant Committee, consisting

of National Mapping Division

researchers, will review these requests.

Limited quantities of free Landsat MSS

data and AVHRR data will be awarded

to those Data Grant Program requestors

selected by the committee. Specific

information on data types, guidelines

for submission and evaluation of

requests, procedures for data selection

and retrieval, and schedules for request

completion and reporting are outlined

in the information packet.

The information packet may be

requested by writing to the address

listed above; sending an electronic mail

message to eros@erosa.cr.usgs.gov via

Internet; or sending a Fax to 605–594–

6589. Each respondent is asked to

include name, organization, address,

and telephone number.

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

supersedeas 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
2158 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 4 / Friday, January 6, 1995 / Notices

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,
