SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.222-8 Payrolls
and Basic Records requires United States construction contracts in
excess of $2,000 to submit weekly for each week in which any contract
work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Contracting Officer.
The clause allows contractors to submit the required weekly payroll
information using the DOL WH-347 form or any other form desired. GSA
deviated from the FAR clause to allow these construction contractors to
use an electronic means to submit the required weekly payroll data. The
proposed revision will increase the efficiency of the weekly payroll
certification process for the contractor, GSA and the contractor's
employee through the use of an automated process. The current manual
process for reviewing weekly certified payroll data requires an
enormous amount of labor hours and has a large probability of human
error, i.e. non-identification or delayed identification of errors in
pay for covered workers. Delays in identifying payroll errors are
costly to the contractor who will need to pay retroactive wage
adjustments and the employee will have suffered reduced economic
purchase power due to the error in wages.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
GSA bases the following burden estimates for certified payrolls on
<a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a> reports for Fiscal Year 2023. The report indicated 182
construction contractors for GSA projects were subject to the Davis-
Bacon or Related Act. GSA's automation of the data collection process
will not increase the existing data collection burden from the DOL Wage
and Hour Division (WHD) the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Information Control No. 1235-0008, Davis-Bacon Certified Payroll or
1235-0018, Records to be kept by Employers--Fair Labor Standards Act.
Respondents: 182 (170 prime contractors plus 12 subcontractors).
Responses per Respondent: 52 (1 for each week of the year).
Total Annual Responses: 9,464 (182 respondents x 52 responses).
Hours per Response: 33 minutes (weighted average of 56 minutes (DOL
estimated time to input information plus 1 minute recordkeeping for
initial entry) + 31 minutes (estimated time to certify payroll in new
system plus 1 minute recordkeeping).
Total Burden Hours: 5,205 (9,464 annual responses x 33 minutes) /
60 minutes).
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary, whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection
of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the Regulatory Secretariat
Division by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#98dfcbd9cafdffcbfdfbd8ffebf9b6fff7ee"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="04435745566163576167446377652a636b72">[email protected]</span></a>. Please
