                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
PART 5--LABOR STANDARDS PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS COVERING FEDERALLY FINANCED AND ASSISTED CONSTRUCTION (ALSO LABOR STANDARDS PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO 
 
   Subpart B--Interpretation of the Fringe Benefits Provisions of the 
                             Davis-Bacon Act
 
Sec. 5.25  Rate of contribution or cost for fringe benefits.

    (a) Under the amendments, the Secretary is obligated to make a 
separate finding of the rate of contribution or cost of fringe benefits. 
Only the amount of contributions or costs for fringe benefits which meet 
the requirements of the act will be considered by the Secretary. These 
requirements are discussed in this subpart.
    (b) The rate of contribution or cost is ordinarily an hourly rate, 
and will be reflected in the wage determination as such. In some cases, 
however, the contribution or cost for certain fringe benefits may be 
expressed in a formula or method of payment other than an hourly rate. 
In such cases, the Secretary may in his discretion express in the wage 
determination the rate of contribution or cost used in the formula or 
method or may convert it to an hourly rate of pay whenever he finds that 
such action would facilitate the administration of the Act. See 
Sec. 5.5(a)(1)(i) and (iii).
