SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    FAR 22.501 prescribes policies and procedures to implement 
Executive Order 13502, February 6, 2009 which encourages Federal 
agencies to consider the use of a project labor agreement (PLA), as 
they may decide appropriate, on large-scale construction projects, 
where the total cost to the Government is more than $25 million, in 
order to promote economy and efficiency in Federal procurement. A PLA 
is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor 
organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment 
for a specific construction project. FAR 22.503(b) provides that an 
agency may, if appropriate, require that every contractor and 
subcontractor engaged in construction on the project agree, for that 
project, to negotiate or become a party to a project labor agreement 
with one or more labor organizations if the agency decides that the use 
of project labor agreements will--
    (1) Advance the Federal Government's interest in achieving economy 
and efficiency in Federal procurement, producing labor-management 
stability, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations governing 
safety and health, equal employment opportunity, labor and employment 
standards, and other matters; and,
    (2) Be consistent with law.

    Respondents: 70.
