The FAR Council agreed to adopt an earlier interim rule as final that would amend FAR Part 22 to allow the Department of Labor Web site at www.wdol.gov as the source for federal agencies to obtain DOL wage determinations for service contracts subject to the Service Contract Act and construction contracts subject to the Davis Bacon Act.

The final rule eliminates the requirement of contracting officers to submit a copy of collective bargaining agreements to DOL to obtain a wage determination unless directed by DOL to do so.  The new rule also incorporates new geographical jurisdictions for DOL’s Wage and Hour Regional Offices and eliminates references to the Government Printing Office publication of general wage determinations (Fed. Reg. 13585).
