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

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.''
