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.

[[Page 25666]]

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 in 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 any 
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 
Division, Division of Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution Avenue, 
NW., Room S-3014, Washington, DC 20210.
