Assisted telephone Interview (CATI)

is used to develop and maintain a

timely list of retail, wholesale, and

places to price items in the Consumer

1995–1996 CPP/CATI survey data are

necessary to obtain a list of outlets for

new and redefined items that will be

introduced to the CPI market basket

for the 1998 revised index.

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

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,

Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution

Employment and Training

Administration

Wagner-Peyser Act Final Planning

Allotments for Program Year (PY) 1995

AGENCY: Employment and Training

Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

final planning allotments for Program

Year (PY) 1995 (July 1, 1995, through

June 30, 1996) for basic labor exchange

activities provided under the WagnerPeyser Act.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

John Robinson, Deputy Assistant

Secretary, U.S. Employment Service,

200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N–

4470, Washington DC 20010.

Telephone: (202) 219–5257 (this is not

a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with Section 6(b)(5) of the

Wagner-Peyser Act, the Employment

and Training Administration is

publishing final planning allotments for

each State for Program Year (PY) 1995

(July 1, 1995, through June 30, 1996).

Preliminary planning estimates were

provided to each State on December 19,

1994. Funds are distributed in

accordance with formula criteria

established in Section 6 (a) and (b) of

the Wagner-Peyser Act. Civilian labor

force (CLF) and unemployment data for

Calendar Year 1994 are used in making

the formula calculations.

The total amount of funds currently

available for distribution is

$845,912,000. The Secretary of Labor set

aside 3 percent of the total available

funds to assure that each State will have

sufficient resources to maintain

statewide employment services, as

required by Section 6(b)(4) of the Act. In

accordance with this provision,

$24,791,040 is set aside for

administrative formula allocation. These

funds are included in the total planning

allotment. The funds that are set aside

are distributed in two steps to States

which have lost in relative share of

resources from the prior year. In Step 1,

States which have a CLF below one

million and are below the median CLF

density are maintained at 100 percent of

their relative share of prior year

resources. The remainder is distributed

in Step 2 to all other States losing in

relative share from the prior year but

which do not meet the size and density

criteria for Step 1.

Postage costs incurred by States

during the conduct of employment

service (ES) activities are billed directly

to the Department of Labor by the U.S.

Postal Service. The total final planning

allotment reflects $19,544,000, or 2.31

percent of the total amount available,

withheld from distribution to finance

postage costs associated with the

conduct of ES business. Ten percent of

the total sums allotted to each State

shall be reserved for use by the

Governor to provide performance

incentives for public ES offices; services

for groups with special needs; and for

the extra costs of exemplary models for

delivering job services.

Differences between preliminary

planning estimates and final planning

allotments are caused by: (1) An

additional $2.5 million distributed to

the States and Guam and the Virgin

Islands due to postage savings related to

U.S. Postal Services changes

methodology of calculating charges and

improved State mail management

practices, and (2) the use of Calendar

Year 1994 data as opposed to the earlier

data (12 months ending September

1994) used for preliminary planning

estimates.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of

April, 1995.

John Robinson,

Deputy Assistant Secretary, U.S. Employment

Service.
