than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a <br />contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is <br />registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) <br />specified in the Contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice <br />must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of <br />progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage <br />determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the <br />apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must <br />be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable <br />classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable <br />apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the <br />Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, <br />withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize <br />apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable <br />program is approved. <br />(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the <br />predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually <br />registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. <br />Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on <br />the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training <br />Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program <br />for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the j ourneyman hourly rate specified in <br />the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the <br />provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall <br />be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of <br />the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the <br />corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination that provides for less than full fringe <br />benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and <br />participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid <br />not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually <br />performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted <br />under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage <br />determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training <br />Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to <br />utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable <br />program is approved. <br />(iii) Equal Employment Opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees, and journeymen under <br />this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order <br />11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30. <br />Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects <br />Issued on December 12, 2017 Page 34 <br />
