Jeffords Chairman The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy Ranking Minority Member Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions United States Senate The Honorable William F. Go o dling Chairman The Honorable William Clay Ranking Minority Member Committee on Education and the Workforce House of Representatives Subject: Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration: Procedures for Predetermination of Wage Rates: Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction and to Certain Nonconstruction Contracts Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Labor (DOL), Employment Standards Administration, entitled Procedures for Predetermination of Wage Rates; Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction and to Certain Nonconstruction Contracts (RIN: 1215-AA94). We received the rule on November 20, 2000. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on November 20, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 69674. The final rule amends the regulations that govern the employment of helpers on federally-financed and assisted construction contracts subject to the prevailing wage standards of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. Specifically, the rule incorporates the Wage and Hour Division's longstanding policy of recognizing helper classifications and wage rates only where their duties are clearly defined and distinct from those of the journeyworker and laborer classifications in the area; the use of such helpers is an established prevailing practice in the area; and the term helper is not synonymous with trainee in an informal training program.
