                             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. 5.30  Types of wage determinations.

    (a) When fringe benefits are prevailing for various classes of 
laborers and mechanics in the area of proposed construction, such 
benefits are includable in any Davis-Bacon wage determination. 
Illustrations, contained in paragraph (c) of this section, demonstrate 
some of the different types of wage determinations which may be made in 
such cases.
    (b) Wage determinations of the Secretary of Labor under the act do 
not include fringe benefits for various classes of laborers and 
mechanics whenever such benefits do not prevail in the area of proposed 
construction. When this occurs the wage determination will contain only 
the basic hourly rates of pay, that is only the cash wages which are 
prevailing for the various classes of laborers and mechanics. An 
illustration of this situation is contained in paragraph (c) of this 
section.
