Inflation Reduction Act Wage Rates Determinations Comment Request

Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

The Department of Labor (Department) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed extension of the information collection request (ICR) titled “Inflation Reduction Act Wage Rates and Wage Determinations.” This comment request is part of continuing Departmental efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). The Department proposes to extend the approval of this existing information collection without change to existing requirements. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, ( printed page 14598) reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. A copy of the proposed information request can be obtained by contacting the office listed below in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed H.R. 5376 (Pub. L. 117-169), a budget reconciliation measure commonly referred to as the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” (IRA). The IRA allows taxpayers to claim enhanced tax credit and deduction amounts in situations in which Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) prevailing wage rates are not required but are voluntarily paid as a condition of claiming the enhanced amount. Taxpayers will generally be able to find the applicable prevailing wage rates for the various classifications of laborers and mechanics for the construction of their facility in wage determinations published on www.sam.gov. However, if no applicable wage determination is available on www.sam.gov, or if the wage determination that applies to the taxpayer's project does not include wage rates for all of the labor classifications that will be needed for the construction, alteration, or repair of the facility, guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury specifies a process by which a taxpayer may request an additional classification or supplemental wage determination from the Wage and Hour Division (WHD). See 89 FR 53184; and 26 CFR 1.45-7.

The purpose of this ICR is to obtain approval to collect the data needed to issue additional classifications and supplemental wage determinations for the universe of respondents who are not already included in the collection approved under 1235-0023 (those who are subject to the DBA and the Davis-Bacon Related Acts (DBRA)). This collection applies to those outside the scope of DBA/DBRA who will need an applicable additional classification or supplemental wage determination that are not in an existing wage determination to satisfy prevailing wage requirements and thereby take the enhanced tax credit and deduction amounts under the IRA.

This information collection is subject to the PRA. A federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approves the ICR pursuant to the PRA and the ICR displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The Department obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1235-0034.

OMB authorization for an ICR must be extended every three years, and the current approval for this collection will expire on May 31, 2026. The Department seeks to extend PRA authorization for this information collection for 3 more years, without any change to existing requirements. The Department notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.

Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the Department at the address shown in the ADDRESSES section within 60 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. To help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1235-0034.

II. Review Focus

The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
• Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

III. Current Actions

The Department of Labor seeks approval for an extension of this information collection to ensure taxpayers may take advantage of the enhanced tax provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act.
