DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration Workforce Investment Act; Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Employment and Training Advisory Committee: Notice of Meeting Pursuant to section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463) as amended, notice is hereby given of the scheduled meeting of the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Employment and Training Advisory Committee. Time and Date: The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. on August 16, 2001, and continue until approximately 4:30 p.m., and will reconvene at 9 a.m. on August 17, 2001, and adjourn at close of business that day.

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 supersedes 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, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division, of Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room S–3014, Washington, DC 20210. Modification to General Wage Determination Decisions The number of decisions listed to the Government Printing Office document entitled ‘‘General Wage determinations Issued Under the Davis-Bacon and related Acts’’ being modified are listed by Volume and State.

OSHA–7 Form (‘‘Notice of Alleged Safety and Health Hazards’’); Extension of the Office of Management of Budget’s (OMB) Approval of Information-Collection (Paperwork) Requirements Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor. ACTION: Notice of an opportunity for public comment.
AGENCY: SUMMARY: OSHA solicits comments concerning its request to increase the existing burden-hour estimates for, and to extend OMB approval of, the information collection specified in the OSHA–7 Form.1 Under paragraphs (a) and (c) of § 1903.11 (‘‘Complaints by employees’’), employees and their representatives must provide the Agency with specific, written information if they believe that OSHAregulated hazards are present in their workplace; they may use the OSHA–7 Form for this purpose. Based on this information, the Agency determines whether or not reasonable grounds exist to conduct an inspection of the workplace; it also uses the information to assess the severity of the alleged hazards and the need to expedite the inspection. In addition, the form provides an employer with notice of the complaint, and may serve as the basis for obtaining a search warrant if an employer denies OSHA access to the workplace. DATES: Submit written comments on or before October 2, 2001. ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Docket Office, Docket No. ICR– 1218–0064(2001), OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N–2625, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693–2350. Commenters may transmit written comments of 10 pages or less in length by facsimile to (202) 693–1648. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas M. Galassi, Directorate of Compliance Programs, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N–3603, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693–2100. A copy of the Agency’s
1 Based on its assessment of the OSHA–7 Form, the Agency estimates that the total burden hours increased compared to its previous burden-hour estimate. Under this Notice, OSHA is not proposing to revise the existing form or the regulation (§ 1903.11) that specifies the information-collection requirements addressed by the form.
Information-Collection Request (ICR) supporting the need for the information collections specified in this notice is available for inspection and copying in the Docket Office or by requesting a copy from Thomas M. Galassi; for electronic copies of the ICR, contact OSHA on the Internet at http:// www.osha.gov/comp-links.html, and select ‘‘Information Collection Requests.’’
I. Background The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information-collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are understandable, and OSHA’s estimate of the informationcollection burden is correct. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 authorizes information collection by OSHA as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents. (29 U.S.C. 657.) Under paragraphs (a) and (c) of § 1903.11 (‘‘Complaints by employees’’), employees and their representatives may notify the OSHA area director or an OSHA compliance officer of safety and health hazards regulated by the Agency that they believe exist in their workplaces. These provisions state further that this notification must be in writing and ‘‘shall set forth with reasonable particularity the grounds for the notice, and shall be signed by the employee or representative of the employees.’’ Along with providing specific hazard information to the Agency, paragraph (a) permits employees/employee representatives to request an inspection of the workplace. Paragraph (c) also addresses situations in which employees/employee representatives may provide the information directly to the OSHA compliance officer during an inspection. An employer’s former employees may also submit complaints to the Agency; these complaints account for 30-40% of all complaints received by the Agency. Subsequent discussions in this Supporting Statement will refer to current and former employees as ‘‘complainants.’’
