29 CFR 5.7 - Reports to the Secretary of Labor.

  • Section Number: 5.7
  • Section Name: Reports to the Secretary of Labor.

    (a) Enforcement reports. (1) Where underpayments by a contractor or 
subcontractor total less than $1,000, and where there is no reason to 
believe that the violations are aggravated or willful (or, in the case 
of the Davis-Bacon Act that the contractor has disregarded its 
obligations to employees and subcontractors), and where restitution has 
been effected and future compliance assured, the Federal agency need not 
submit its investigative findings and recommendations to the 
Administrator, unless the investigation was made at the request of the 
Department of Labor. In the latter case, the Federal agency shall submit 
a factual summary report detailing any violations including any data on 
the amount of restitution paid, the number of workers who received 
restitution, liquidated damages assessed under the Contract Work Hours 
and Safety Standards Act, corrective measures taken (such as ``letters 
of notice''), and any information that may be necessary to review any 
recommendations for an appropriate adjustment in liquidated damages 
under Sec. 5.8.
    (2) Where underpayments by a contractor or subcontractor total 
$1,000 or more, or where there is reason to believe that the violations 
are aggravated or willful (or, in the case of the Davis-Bacon Act, that 
the contractor has disregarded its obligations to employees and 
subcontractors), the Federal agency shall furnish within 60 days after 
completion of its investigation, a detailed enforcement report to the 
Administrator.
    (b) Semi-annual enforcement reports. To assist the Secretary in 
fulfilling the responsibilities under Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 
1950, Federal agencies shall furnish to the Administrator by April 30 
and October 31 of each calendar year semi-annual reports on compliance 
with and enforcement of the labor standards provisions of the Davis-
Bacon Act and its related acts covering the periods of October 1 through 
March 31 and April 1 through September 30, respectively. Such reports 
shall be prepared in the manner prescribed in memoranda issued to 
Federal agencies by the Administrator. This report has been cleared in 
accordance with FPMR 101-11.11 and assigned interagency report control 
number 1482-DOL-SA.
    (c) Additional information. Upon request, the Agency Head shall 
transmit to the Administrator such information available to the Agency 
with respect to contractors and subcontractors, their contracts, and the 
nature of the contract work as the Administrator may find necessary for 
the performance of his or her duties with respect to the labor standards 
provisions referred to in this part.
    (d) Contract termination. Where a contract is terminated by reason 
of violations of the labor standards provisions of the statutes listed 
in Sec. 5.1, a report shall be submitted promptly to the Administrator 
and to the Comptroller General (if the contract is subject to the Davis-
Bacon Act), giving the name and address of the contractor or 
subcontractor whose right to proceed has been terminated, and the name 
and address of the contractor or subcontractor, if any, who is to 
complete the work, the amount and number of the contract, and the 
description of the work to be performed.
