Dear Mr. Robertson:
Reference is made to your Memorandum #79, dated December 17, 1968,
inviting comments from Federal agencies on a proposed Form for semi-
annual enforcement labor standards report.
It is noted that the instructions for completing the Form requests
information on non-construction contracts subject to the Contract Work
Hours standards Act. This will be a new reporting requirement if the
Labor Department determines a need for this information. Within
Department of Defense the contracting offices for non-construction and
construction work are generally separate and appropriate new imple-
menting instructions would have to be issued. It is assumed that the
class of non-construction contracts to be reported would be those contracts
subject to the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act which your agency
now investigates for compliance. Some contract information on MOSCA
is already being obtained by your Bureau of Labor Standards as well as
your own office through the receipt of the Notice of Intention to Make a
Service Contract.
DoD can arrange to furnish the proposed information with respect to
construction contracts although we have no objection to the continuation
of the report in the Form now provided your Department. In the event
your agency modifies the Form, we plan to continue to obtain the infor-
mation previously submitted to your Department as it provides useful
data to us.
Sincerely yours,
Samuel Silver
Director for Industrial Relations
