    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
    
    [[Page 56571]]
    
    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 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, N.W., Room S-
    3014, Washington, D.C. 20210.
