29 CFR 4.56 - Review and reconsideration of wage determinations.

  • Section Number: 4.56
  • Section Name: Review and reconsideration of wage determinations.

    (a) Review by the Administrator. (1) Any interested party affected 
by a wage determination issued under section 2(a) of the Act may request 
review and reconsideration by the Administrator. A request for review 
and reconsideration may be made by the contracting agency or other 
interested party, including contractors or prospective contractors and 
associations of contractors, representatives of employees, and other 
interested Governmental agencies. Any such request must be accompanied 
by supporting evidence. In no event shall the Administrator review a 
wage determination or its applicability after the opening of bids in the 
case of a competitively advertised procurement, or, later than 10 days 
before commencement of a contract in the case of a negotiated 
procurement, exercise of a contract option or extension. This limitation 
is necessary in order to ensure competitive equality and an orderly 
procurement process.
    (2) The Administrator shall, upon receipt of a request for 
reconsideration, review the data sources relied upon as a basis for the 
wage determination, the evidence furnished by the party requesting 
review or reconsideration, and, if necessary to resolve the matter, any 
additional information found to be relevant to determining prevailing 
wage rates and fringe benefits in a particular locality. The 
Administrator, pursuant to a review of available information, may issue 
a new wage determination, may cause the wage determination to be 
revised, or may affirm the wage determination issued, and will notify 
the requesting party in writing of the action taken. The Administrator 
will render a decision within 30 days of receipt of the request or will 
notify the requesting party in writing within 30 days of receipt that 
additional time is necessary.
    (b) Review by the Administrative Review Board. Any decision of the 
Administrator under paragraph (a) of this section may be appealed to the 
Administrative Review Board within 20 days of issuance of the 
Administrator's decision. Any such appeal shall be in accordance with 
the provisions of part 8 of this title.
