(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates <br />and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified <br />in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. <br />(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side <br />of Optional Form WH -347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of <br />Compliance" required by paragraph (a) (3) (ii) (B) of this section. <br />(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or <br />subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section <br />231 of title 31 of the United States Code. <br />(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph <br />(a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized <br />representatives of the State, EPA or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such <br />representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor <br />or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the <br />Federal agency or State may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or <br />owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further <br />payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required <br />records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment <br />action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. <br />(4) Apprentices and trainees <br />(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate <br />for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually <br />registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of <br />Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, <br />Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the <br />Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as <br />an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the <br />program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer <br />and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for <br />probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to <br />journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio <br />permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any <br />worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise <br />employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage <br />determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice <br />performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered <br />program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for <br />the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in <br />a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates <br />(expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or <br />subcontractor's registered program shall be observed.
