BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
Report To The Congress
OF THE UNITED STATES
The Congress Should Consider Repeal
Of The Service Contract Act
The Congress should consider repeal of the
act because:
--Inherent problems exist in the act's
administration.
--Wage rates and fringe benefits set
under the act are generally inflationary
to the Government.
--Accurate determinations of prevailing
wage rates and fringe benefits cannot
be made using existing data sources.
--The data needed to accurately deter-
mine prevailing wage rates and fringe
benefits would be very costlyto develop.
--The Fair Labor Standards Act and ad-
ministrative procedures implemented
through the Federal procurement pro-
cess could provide a measure of wage
and benefit protection for employees
the act now covers.
Proposed regulations would limit Labor's
application of the act but leave unresolved
the major underlying problems in accurately
developing prevailing wage rates and fringe
benefits.
