DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards Administration; Wage and Hour Division


Minimum Wage 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 determination 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 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 dates 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 benefits 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.
