Sec.  22.403-2  Copeland Act.

    The Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 40 U.S.C. 276c) 
makes it unlawful to induce, by force, intimidation, threat of procuring 
dismissal from employment, or otherwise, any person employed in the 
construction or repair of public buildings or public works, financed in 
whole or in part by the United States, to give up any part of the 
compensation to which that person is entitled under a contract of 
employment. The Copeland Act also requires each contractor and 
subcontractor to furnish weekly a statement of compliance with respect 
to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week. Contracts 
subject to the Copeland Act shall contain a clause (see 52.222-10) 
requiring contractors and subcontractors to comply with the regulations 
issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act.
