KLEEN-RITE CORP., SCA-945 (Under Sec'y Aug. 16, 1984)


KLEEN-RITE CORPORATION DDATE: 19840816 TTEXT: ~1 [1] THE UNDER SECRETARY OF LABOR WASHINGTON, D.C. 20210 In the Matter of KLEEN-RITE CORPORATION, a Corporation, and HAROLD GREENSPAN, Individually Case No. SCA-945 and as President of Kleen- Rite Corporation, Respondents MEMORANDUM DECISION OF THE UNDER SECRETARY After a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Judge found that the respondents had violated the Service Contract Act (79 Stat. 1034; 41 U.S.C. 351, et seq.), as amended. The Judge found that there were "unusual circumstances" which justified relieving the respondents of the ineligible list sanction provided in Section 5(a) of the Act (41 U.S.C. 354(a)), and he recommended that such relief should be granted. The Government appealed the Judge's finding of "unusual circumstances" and his recommendation for relief from the ineligible list sanction. In his decision on the appeal, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards concluded that "unusual circumstances" are not present in the case within the meaning of Section 5(a) of the Act, and he recommended that the respondents should not be granted relief from the sanction provided therein. The respondents filed an application pursuant to 29 CFR 6.12, requesting relief from the sanction contained in Section 5(a) of the Act. It is my conclusion that the Deputy Assistant [1] ~2 [2]Secretary was correct in finding that there are no "unusual circumstances" in the case within the meaning of Section 5(a), for the reasons indicated in his decision. Therefore, a basis for relief has not been shown, and the respondents' application must be denied. I shall advise the Comptroller General accordingly. [Ford B. Ford] Under Secretary of Labor Dated at Washington, D.C. this 16 day of AUG, 1984 [2]
