(a) The Division of Public Contracts returns to the interpretation
contained in Rulings and Interpretations No. 2 1 with respect
to coverage under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act of truck drivers
employed by oil dealers, by amending section 40(e)(1) of Rulings and
Interpretations No. 3 1 to read as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Not filed with the Office of the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Where the contractor is a dealer, the act applies to employees
at the central distributing plant, including warehousemen, compounders,
and chemists testing the lot out of which the Government order is
filled, the crews engaged in loading the materials in vessels, tank cars
or tank wagons for shipment, and truck drivers engaged in the activities
described in section 37(m) above. 2 However, the contractor
is not required to show that the employees at the bulk stations,
including truck drivers, are employed in accordance with the standards
of the act. (Bulk stations as the term is used herein are intermediate
points of storage between a central distributing plant and service
stations.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Refers to Rulings and Interpretation No. 3.
