CHAPTER XVII--OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT 
                                OF LABOR
 
PART 1926--SAFETY AND HEALTH REGULATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart B--General Interpretations
 
Sec. 1926.11  Coverage under section 103 of the act distinguished.

    (a) Coverage under section 103. It is important to note that the 
coverage of section 107 differs from that for the overtime requirements 
of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The application of 
the overtime requirements is governed by section 103, which subject to 
specific exemptions, includes: (1) Federal contracts requiring or 
involving the employment of laborers or mechanics (thus including, but 
not limited to, contracts for construction), and (2) contracts assisted 
in whole or in part by Federal loans, grants, or guarantees under any 
statute ``providing wage standards for such work.'' The statutes 
``providing wage standards for such work'' include statutes for 
construction which require the payment of minimum wages in accordance 
with prevailing wage findings by the Secretary of Labor in accordance 
with the Davis-Bacon Act. A provision to section 103 excludes from the 
overtime requirements work where the Federal assistance is only in the 
form of a loan guarantee or insurance.
    (b) Coverage under section 107. To be covered by section 107 of the 
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, a contract must be one 
which (1) is entered into under a statute that is subject to 
Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1267); and (2) is for 
``construction, alteration, and/or repair, including painting and 
decorating.''
