SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

DOL proposes to conduct a customer

survey of customers’ opinions about the

employment and training services

received through Migrant and Seasonal

Farm Worker (MSFW) programs—how

helpful services were to MSFW

customers, both overall and for specific

services. This information is critical for

improving the quality of services and

making them more responsive to the

needs of MSFW clients. Furthermore, it

is important to determine whether and

how different types of customers viewed

the helpfulness of services they received

and whether the differences in

customers’ views on the helpfulness of

the program are related to their

subsequent program outcomes and

employment. While some agencies have

instituted some form of customer

feedback, no other national effort to

measure customer satisfaction in the

MSFW program is underway.

II. Current Actions

A national survey will be conducted

of 2,100 current and past participants in

employment and training services. They

will be asked about their experiences

with the local service providers referred

to as ‘‘grantees’’ who were awarded

funds through the JTPA Title IV § 402

MSFW program. The questions asked in

the survey will allow the examination of

the important relationships between

services and customer satisfaction. The

questionnaire will ask about how

satisfied customers were with the

services overall and with specific

services, including supportive services.

A nationally representatives sample of

participants will be drawn from a

representative sample of 25 grantees.

From each selected grantee, a sample of

terminees and/or current participants

will be selected over a period of several

months. In this way, the sample will

reflect the seasonal differences in the

types of customers served in the

program. About one-third of the sample

will be individuals still participating in

the program, who will be interviewed in

person at the grantees’ offices. The

remaining two-thirds of the sample will

be interviewed about 30 days after they

leave the program so that the can report

about how helpful services were in

helping them find or keep a job. These

individuals will be interviewed by

phone, through a mail survey, or in

person if necessary. The results of this

survey will be used to suggest ways to

improve programs to better meet the

needs of the MSFW population.

Type of Review: New.

Agency: Employment and Training

Administration.

Title: MSFW Customer Survey.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Total Respondents: 1,680 individuals.

Frequency: One time only.

Total Responses: 1,680 responses.

Average Time per Response: 20

minutes.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 560

hours.

Total Burden Cost: To complete this

survey respondents are not expected to

be required to purchase equipment or

services. The answers to the questions

in the survey are expected to be data

that are already available. Therefore, the

cost to the respondents result only from

the time spent answering the questions.

Estimates of the time to respond are

presented above.

Comments submitted in response to

this comment request will be

summarized and/or included in the

request for Office of Management and

Budget approval of the information

collection request; they will also

become a matter of public record.

Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance;

R.D. Simpson, Incorporated (including

D&E Laundry) Cartersville, GA and

Enterprises, New York, NY

In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19

U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor

issued a Notice of Certification of

Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance on

January 26, 1996, applicable to all

workers at R.D. Simpson, Incorporated

(including D & E Laundry) located in

Cartersville, Georgia. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

February 6, 1996 (61 FR 4488).

At the request of the State Agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

findings show that worker separations

have occurred at Zena Enterprises, an

affiliate of the subject firm, located in

New York, New York. The company

reports that workers at Zena provide

services in support of the production of

jeans by the subject firm in Cartersville,

Georgia.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

the subject firm who were adversely

affected by increased imports from

Mexico or Canada. Accordingly, the

Department is amending the

certification for workers of the subject

firm to include all workers of Zena

Enterprises in New York, New York.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–00721 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of workers of R.D. Simpson,

Incorporated (including D & E Laundry),

Cartersville, Georgia (NAFTA–00721), and

Zena Enterprises, New York, New York

(NAFTA–00721A) who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after December 4, 1994 are eligible to apply

for NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of the

Trade Act of 1974.

BILLING CODE 4510–30–M

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 comments

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

Act,’’ 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
