The Copeland Act requires contractors and subcontractors performing work on federally financed or assisted construction contracts to furnish weekly a statement with respect to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week. See 40 U.S.C. § 3145; 29 C.F.R. § 3.3(b). U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Regulations 29 C.F.R. § 5.5 (a)(3)(ii)(A) requires contractors to submit weekly a copy of all payrolls to the federal agency contracting for or financing the construction project, if the agency is a party to the contract, accompanied by a signed “Statement of Compliance” indicating that the payrolls are correct and complete and that each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the proper Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rate for the work performed. Id. at § 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(B). The DOL has developed optional use Form WH-347, Payroll Form, to aide contractors and subcontractors performing work on federally financed or assisted construction contracts in meeting weekly payroll reporting requirements. Id. at § 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(A); see also, id. at § 3.3(b). Properly filled out, this form will satisfy the requirements of Regulations, 29 C.F.R. Parts 3 and 5 as to payrolls submitted in connection with contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts.

Changing Regulations
The DOL is changing its total burden estimates from 5,025,040 responses, 4,700,000 hours, and $211,000 to 7,196,056 responses, 6,596,385 hours, and $899,507 in maintenance and operations costs. This results an overall increase of 2,171,016 responses, and 1,896,385 hours and $688,507 in maintenance and operations costs. This revised rule introduces no new information collection requirements nor proposes any substantive or material changes to the existing information collection requirements noted above. However, the Department is removing the requirement to report an employee’s complete social security number and home address, which the Department estimates will reduce the average reporting time from an average of 56 minutes per response to 55 minutes per response. Adoption of the revised rule will reduce burden by 119,934 hours. The DOL has an adjustment in the estimated burden, because the estimated number of DBRA covered projects requiring submission of Form WH-347 or its equivalent has increased from 27,310 projects to 39,109 projects. Estimated operation and maintenance costs have increased, again due to the higher number of DBRA covered projects and the fact that prior efforts to calculate the burden did not separately state the cost of copying certified payrolls for recordkeeping purposes.
