Abstract:
Regulations 29 CFR part 5 prescribe labor standards for federally financed and assisted construction contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act (DBA), 40 U.S.C. 3141 et seq., the Davis-Bacon Related Acts (DBRA), and labor standards for all contracts subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA), 40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. The DBA and DBRA require payment of locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits, as determined by the Department of Labor (DOL), to laborers and mechanics on most federally financed or assisted construction projects. 40 U.S.C. 3142(a)-(b) and 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1). The CWHSSA requires the payment of one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for hours worked over forty in a week on most federal contracts involving the employment of laborers or mechanics. See 40 U.S.C. § 3702(a) and 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b)(1). The requirements of this information collection consist of: (A) reports of conformed classifications and wage rates, and (B) requests for approval of unconventional fringe benefit plans.

Short Statement:
The DOL has decreased the total estimated burden hours from 756 to 746 based on more current agency statistics that reflect a slight decline in the number of conformance requests received from 3000 to 2960. Enhanced tracking systems allow the DOL to more accurately track and report data on incoming conformance reports and provide more accurate data than was previously available. Although the number of conformances received has decreased, the estimated operation and maintenance costs have increased due to an increase in postage costs.
