In the Matter of:
S. B. BALLARD CONSTRUCTION CO.,
In re: Review and reconsideration of
wage determination VA970084
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
By letter dated November 30, 1998, S.B. Ballard Construction Company
(S.B. Ballard) petitioned the Board for review of Davis-Bacon wage determination rates applicable
to reinforcing iron workers at locations in Virginia. Attached to the Petitioner's letter were (1) a
copy of wage determination VA970084-1, and (2) excerpts from the Occupational Employment
Survey Booklet of Definitions for General Contractors, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Significantly, however, there was no indication that Petitioner had requested review and
reconsideration of the contested wage determination from the Wage and Hour Administrator,
pursuant to 29 C.F.R. §1.8 (1998).
1 Under the regulations dealing
with Davis-Bacon enforcement actions, the Board also hears appeals of certain decisions issued by
Administrative Law Judges under 29 C.F.R. Part 6. 29 C.F.R. §§6.20, 6.34, 6.45, 6.57.
