II. Request for Comment
The Department is proposing
regulations to implement Executive
Order 13658, Establishing a Minimum
Wage for Contractors. The Executive
Order seeks to increase efficiency and
cost savings in the work performed by
parties that contract with the Federal
Government by raising the hourly
minimum wage paid by those
contractors to workers performing work
on covered federal contracts to: (i)
$10.10 per hour, beginning January 1,
2015; and (ii) beginning January 1, 2016,
and annually thereafter, an amount
determined by the Secretary of Labor.
The NPRM incorporates existing
definitions, procedures, remedies, and
enforcement processes under the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the Service
Contract Act, and the Davis-Bacon Act.
On February 12, 2014, President
Obama signed Executive Order 13658,
which directed the Department to issue
regulations to implement the
requirements of the Executive Order by
October 1, 2014. On June 12, 2014, the
Department posted on its Web site an
overview of the Executive Order and the
NPRM comment process. The
Department published the NPRM in the
Federal Register on June 17, 2014 (79
FR 34568), complete with background
information, economic impact analysis
and proposed regulatory text. The
NPRM also requested that interested
parties from the public submit
comments on the NPRM on or before
July 17, 2014.
The Department has received requests
to extend the period for filing public
comments from government and
business organizations. Because of the
interest that has been expressed in this
matter, the Department has decided to
provide an extension of the period for
submitting public comment until July
28, 2014.
Dated: June 30, 2014.

Administrator, Wage and Hour Division.

Notice of proposed rulemaking.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The Coast Guard proposes to
establish a safety zone on the navigable
waters of the James River in the vicinity
of the James River Reserve Fleet and
Hog Island, Virginia for multiple
periods of one hour in length each on

August 15, 2014. This safety zone is
intended to restrict vessel movement in
the specified area during the United
States Navy’s demonstrations involving
unmanned and remote-operated crafts.
This action is necessary to provide for
the safety of life and property on the
surrounding navigable waters during the
events due to the high speed
maneuvering of the vessels and the
experimental nature of the control
technology.

SUMMARY:

Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before July 23, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments online at
http://www.regulations.gov (follow Web
