Sec. 1926.11  Coverage under section 103 of the act distinguished.

    (a) Coverage under section 103. It is important to note that the 
coverage of section 107 differs from that for the overtime requirements 
of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The application of 
the overtime requirements is governed by section 103,

which subject to specific exemptions, includes: (1) Federal contracts 
requiring or involving the employment of laborers or mechanics (thus 
including, but not limited to, contracts for construction), and (2) 
contracts assisted in whole or in part by Federal loans, grants, or 
guarantees under any statute ``providing wage standards for such work.'' 
The statutes ``providing wage standards for such work'' include statutes 
for construction which require the payment of minimum wages in 
accordance with prevailing wage findings by the Secretary of Labor in 
accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act. A provision to section 103 excludes 
from the overtime requirements work where the Federal assistance is only 
in the form of a loan guarantee or insurance.
    (b) Coverage under section 107. To be covered by section 107 of the 
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, a contract must be one 
which (1) is entered into under a statute that is subject to 
Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1267); and (2) is for 
``construction, alteration, and/or repair, including painting and 
decorating.''
