Need for Collection
The regulations at 27 CFR 555.109
require that manufacturers of explosive
materials place marks of identification
on the materials manufactured. Marking
of explosives enables law enforcement
entities to more effectively trace
explosives from the manufacturer
through the distribution chain to the
end purchaser. This process is used as
a tool in criminal enforcement activities.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that 2,184
respondents will respond to this
information collection. Estimated time
for a respondent to respond is none.
Manufacturers are required to place
markings on explosives, therefore, the
burden hours are considered usual and
customary. 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2) states,
there is no burden when the collection
of information is usual and customary.
(6) An estimate of the total burden (in
hours) associated with the collection:
The estimated annual total burden
hours associated with this collection is
1 hour.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001

I. Background
The Wage and Hour Division of the
U.S. Department of Labor administers
the McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract
Act (SCA), 41 U.S.C. 351 et seq. The
McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act
(SCA) applies to every contract entered
into by the United States or the District
of Columbia, the principal purpose of
which is to furnish services to the
United States through the use of service
employees. The SCA requires
contractors and subcontractors
performing services on covered federal
or District of Columbia contracts in
excess of $2,500 to pay service
employees in various classes no less
than the monetary wage rates and to
furnish fringe benefits found prevailing
in the locality, or the rates (including
prospective increases) contained in a
predecessor contractor’s collective
bargaining agreement. Safety and health
standards also apply to such contracts.
The compensation requirements of the
SCA are enforced by the Wage and Hour
Division.
A. Vacation Benefit Seniority List
Service Contract Act section 2(a),
provides that every contract subject to
the Act must contain a provision
specifying the minimum monetary
wages and fringe benefits to be paid to
the various classes of service employees
performing work on the contract. Many
wage determinations (WDs) issued for
recurring services performed at the same
Federal facility provide for certain
vested fringe benefits (e.g., vacations),
which are based on the employee’s total
length of service with a contractor or
any predecessor contractor. See 29 CFR
4.162. When found to prevail, such
fringe benefits are incorporated in WDs
and are usually stated as ‘‘one week
paid vacation after one year’s service
with a contractor or successor, two
weeks after two years’’, etc. These
provisions ensure that employees
receive the vacation benefit payments
that they have earned and accrued by
requiring that such payments be made
by successor contractors who hire the
same employees who have worked over
the years at the same facility in the same
locality for predecessor contractors
B. Conformance Record
Section 2(a) of the SCA provides that
every contract subject to the Act must
contain a provision specifying the
minimum monetary wage and fringe
benefits to be paid the various classes of
service employees employed on the
contract work. See 41 U.S.C. 351, et seq.
Problems sometimes arise (1) when
employees are working on service

PO 00000

Frm 00048

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

contracts in job classifications that DOL
was not previously informed about and
(2) when there are job classifications for
which no wage data are available.
Section 4.6(b)(2) of 29 CFR part 4
provides a process for ‘‘conforming’’
(i.e., adding) classifications and wage
rates to the WD for classes of service
employees not previously listed on a
WD but where employees are actually
working on an SCA covered contract.
This process ensures that the
requirements of section 2(a) of the Act
are fulfilled and that a formal record
exists as part of the contract which
documents the wage rate and fringe
benefits to be paid for a conformed
classification while a service
employee(s) is employed on the
contract.
The contracting officer is required to
review each contractor-proposed
conformance to determine if the
unlisted classes have been properly
classified by the contractor so as to
provide a reasonable relationship (i.e.,
appropriate level of skill comparison)
between such unlisted classifications
and the classifications (and wages)
listed in the WD. See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2).
Moreover, the contracting agency is
required to forward the conformance
action to the Wage and Hour Division
for review and approval. Id. However, in
any case where a contract succeeds a
contract under which a class was
previously conformed, the contractor
may use an optional procedure known
as the indexing (i.e., adjusting)
procedure to determine a new wage rate
for a previously conformed class. See 29
CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iv)(B). This procedure
does not require DOL approval but does
require the contractor to notify the
contracting agency in writing that a
previously conformed class has been
indexed and include information
describing how the new rate was
computed. Id.
C. Submission of Collective Bargaining
Agreement (CBA)
Sections 2(a) and 4(c) of the SCA
provide that any contractor which
succeeds to a contract subject to the Act
and under which substantially the same
services are furnished, shall pay any
service workers employed on the
contract no less than the wages and
fringe benefits to which such workers
would have been entitled if employed
under the predecessor contract. See 29
CFR 4.163(a).
Section 4.6(l)(1) of Regulations, 29
CFR part 4, requires an incumbent
(predecessor) contractor to provide to
the contracting officer a copy of any
CBA governing the wages and fringe
benefits paid service employees

performing work on the contract during
the contract period. These CBAs are
submitted by the contracting agency to
the Wage and Hour Division of the
Department of Labor where they are
used in issuing WDs for successor
contracts subject to section 2(a) and 4(c)
of SCA. See 29 CFR 4.4(c).
The Wage and Hour Division uses this
information to determine whether
covered employers have complied with
various legal requirements of the laws
administered by the Wage and Hour
Division. The Wage and Hour Division
seeks approval to renew this
information collection related to the
Labor Standards for Federal Service
Contracts.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

Paperwork Reduction Act Requirement
In accordance with OMB regulations
that require this Notice for proposed
Information Collection Requests, the
NTSB herein notifies the public that it
may submit comments on this proposed
information collection. Title 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1) requires an agency, prior to
submitting a collection of information to
OMB for approval, to ‘‘provide 60-day
notice in the Federal Register, and
otherwise consult with members of the
public and affected agencies concerning
. . . [the] proposed collection of
information.’’ Section 1320.8(d)(1) also
requires the NTSB to solicit comment
on any aspect of this information
collection, including: (1) Whether the
proposed collection is necessary for the
NTSB to perform its mission; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3)
ways for the NTSB to enhance the

the burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The NTSB will summarize
and/or include the public’s comments
in its subsequent request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection
pursuant to section 1320.10(a) of title 5,
Code of Federal Regulations.
Description of NTSB Form 6120.1
The NTSB notes it has been using
NTSB Form 6120.1 for several years to
collect information concerning certain
aviation accidents and incidents. The
Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/
Incident Report Form is used in
determining the facts, conditions, and
circumstances for aircraft accident
prevention activities and for statistical
purposes. The form is divided into 17
categories, which are titled as follows:
Basic information; aircraft information;
owner/operator information; other
aircraft—collision information (if air or
ground collision occurred); mechanical
malfunction/failure; damage to aircraft
and other property; airport information
(to be completed if accident or incident
occurred on approach, takeoff, or within
3 miles of an airport); flight itinerary
information; fuel and services
information; evacuation of aircraft;
weather information at the accident/
incident site; pilot ‘‘A’’ information;
pilot ‘‘B’’ information; additional flight
crew members; passengers/other
personnel; narrative history of flight;
and recommendation (concerning how
the accident or incident may have been
prevented). The basic information
category requests information
concerning the location and date and
time of the accident or incident, the
phase of operation during which the
