PETITIONER
DECISION AND ORDER
On September 17, 1973, a Petition was received in the office
of the Wage Appeals Board from the above Petitioner seeking review
of the hourly wage rate predetermined by the Employment Standards
Administration (ESA) of the Department of Labor for carpenters on
the Broken Bow Housing Project. Petitioner considered the $4.98
hourly rate predetermined as in excess of the rate prevailing in
the Broken Bow area and sought to have the rate reviewed and
reduced pursuant to certain payment evidence made a part of
his Petition. [1]

[2] On September 21, 1973, Petitioner was notified that the
matter had been referred to the Wage Appeals Board for its
consideration and that he would be advised as soon as possible as
to any further action deemed warranted. Informational copies of
this notification were furnished a schedule of interested parties,
including the Omaha and Washington Offices of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development and Counsel for ESA, and Petitioner
was sent a copy of the schedule.
It has been determined that the Federally-assisted contract
here involved was awarded on July 3, 1973 and that construction
thereon began July 9, 1973, both of which dates preceded the
submission and receipt by the Board of the Petition for review in
this case. Under the circumstances of this case no further action
by the Board is warranted and the case has been closed.
ORDER:
The Petition is denied.
