SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This regulation prescribes labor standards for federally financed 
and assisted construction contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon and 
Related Acts (DBRA), as well as labor standards for nonconstruction 
contracts subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act 
(CWHSSA).
    The recordkeeping requirements in this regulation, 48 CFR ch. 1, 
section 22.406, are a restatement of requirements cleared under OMB 
control numbers 1215-0140, 1215-0149, and 1215-0017 for 29 CFR 
5.5(a)(1)(i), 5.5(c), and 5.15 (records to be kept by employers under 
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 CFR 516, which is the basic 
recordkeeping regulation for all the laws administered by the Wage and 
Hour Division of the Employment Standards Administration).
    48 CFR ch. 1, section 22.406-3, implements the recordkeeping and 
information collection requirements prescribed in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii) 
cleared under OMB control number 1215-0140 (also prescribed at 48 CFR 
22.406 under OMB control number 9000-0089), by providing SF 1444, 
Request for Authorization of Additional Classification and Rate, for 
the contractor and the Government to enter the recordkeeping and 
information collection data required by 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii) prior to 
transmitting the data to the Department of Labor.
    This SF 1444 places no further burden on the contractor or the 
Government other than the information collection burdens already 
cleared by OMB for 29 CFR 5.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    There is no burden placed on the public beyond that prescribed by 
the Department of Labor regulations.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Total annual 
responses, 1; and total response burden hours, 1.
