Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering, and maintaining data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The information is considered non-sensitive and does not require special protection. The agency may not collect this information, and you are not required to complete this form, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

All Federal agencies administering programs subject to Davis-Bacon wage provisions are required by U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) regulations (29 CFR 5.7(b)) to submit a report of all new covered contracts and all enforcement activities each six months. In order for HUD to comply with this requirement, it must collect contract and enforcement information from local agencies that administer HUD-assisted programs subject to Davis-Bacon requirements. HUD requests that local agencies complete and submit a Semi-annual Enforcement Report every six months.

Local agencies and HUD must retain a copy of the Semi-Annual Enforcement Report in its files.

Please follow these instructions while compiling the Semi-Annual Labor Standards Enforcement Report for Local Contracting Agencies (HUD Programs) (form HUD-4710).

Introduction

Department of Labor (DOL) Regulations 29 CFR §5.7(b) require Federal agencies administering programs subject to Davis-Bacon and Related Act (DBRA) and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) labor standards to furnish a Semi-Annual Labor Standards Enforcement Report to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division. Some HUD programs are administered by state, tribal, or local agencies for labor standards compliance. HUD must collect information from such agencies in order to capture enforcement activities for all HUD programs in its reports to DOL.

Reporting Periods: Period 1 October 1 through March 31

Period 2 April 1 through September 30

Report Format: Each agency report consists of two parts:

Part I concerns contracting activity for work awarded during the reporting period;

Part II concerns enforcement activity for all contracts, regardless of the award date.

The HUD Davis-Bacon and Labor Standards (DBLS) staff for your area will send a courtesy reminder shortly before the due date about preparing the report and will remind you of the date your report is due. However, you should maintain accurate records throughout the year of relevant contract information so that you can submit the report in a timely manner.
