## Abstract

This document adopts as a final rule an amendment to the regulations that govern the employment of "helpers" on federally- financed and assisted construction contracts subject to the prevailing wage standards of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA). Specifically, this document amends the regulations to incorporate the Wage and Hour Division's longstanding policy of recognizing helper classifications and wage rates only where their duties are clearly defined and distinct from those of journeyworker and laborer classifications in the area; the use of such helpers is an established prevailing practice in the area; and the term "helper" is not synonymous with "trainee" in an informal training program.
