Workers on construction projects funded under the Clean Air Act must be paid at least the local prevailing wage. The Secretary of Labor enforces this rule using existing federal wage-standard authority.
The EPA Administrator* must make sure every laborer and mechanic working for a contractor or subcontractor on a project* funded under this chapter gets paid at least the wage rate normally paid for the same kind of work on similar local construction, as set by the Secretary* of Labor under sections 3141–3144, 3146, and 3147 of title 40. For these labor standards, the Secretary of Labor keeps the same authority and duties given under Reorganization Plan Numbered 14 of 1950 and section 3145 of title 40.
The Administrator* shall take such action as may be necessary to insure that all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors on projects assisted under this chapter shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing for the same type of work on similar construction in the locality as determined by the Secretary* of Labor, in accordance with sections 3141–3144, 3146, and 3147 of title 40. The Secretary of Labor shall have, with respect to the labor standards specified in this subsection,1 the authority and functions set forth in Reorganization Plan Numbered 14 of 1950 (15 F.R. 3176; 64 Stat. 1267) and section 3145 of title 40.
