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 

[[Page 43164]]
CFR Part 1, by authority of the Secretary of the 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 procedures thereon prior to the issuance of these 
determinations as prescribed in 5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for 
delay in the effective data 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 self-explanatory 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 Divisions, 
Division of Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room S-
3014, Washington, D.C. 20210.
