29 C.F.R. § 1.4
§ 1.4 Report of agency construction programs. (29 CFR Part 1)
Operative Text
On an annual basis, each Federal agency using wage determinations under the Davis-Bacon Act or any of the laws referenced by § 5.1 of this subtitle, must furnish the Administrator with a report that contains a general outline of its proposed construction programs for the upcoming 3 fiscal years based on information in the Federal agency's possession at the time it furnishes its report. This report must include a list of proposed projects (including those for which options to extend the contract term of an existing construction contract are expected during the period covered by the report); the estimated start date of construction; the anticipated type or types of construction; the estimated cost of construction; the location or locations of construction; and any other project-specific information that the Administrator requests. The report must also include notification of any significant changes to previously reported construction programs, such as the delay or cancellation of previously reported projects. Reports must be submitted no later than April 10 of each year by email to DavisBaconFedPlan@dol.gov, and must include the name, telephone number, and email address of the official responsible for coordinating the submission.
Under 29 CFR Part 1 § 1.4, every federal agency that uses wage determinations governed by the Davis-Bacon Act or related statutes must submit an annual report to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Administrator. The report must outline the agency's anticipated construction activity for the next three fiscal years, covering details such as project locations, estimated costs, construction types, expected start dates, and any updates or cancellations to previously reported plans. Submissions are due by April 10 each year and must be sent by email to DavisBaconFedPlan@dol.gov, along with the contact information of the coordinating official.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Federal agencies and their contracting or program offices that administer Davis-Bacon-covered construction work are the primary actors under 29 CFR Part 1 § 1.4; private landlords are generally not directly subject to this particular reporting requirement. However, property owners or developers whose projects are funded through federal programs that trigger Davis-Bacon obligations may find that their federal agency partners are required to include those projects in the annual report. Operators in federally assisted construction programs typically maintain accurate project timelines, cost estimates, and location data so that the responsible federal agency can meet its April 10 reporting deadline.

While 29 CFR Part 1 § 1.4 is primarily directed at federal agencies rather than individual tenants, workers and residents affected by federally funded construction projects have an indirect interest in this reporting framework. The annual reports submitted under this provision help the Department of Labor monitor where Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements apply, which can affect the labor standards on construction projects in a community. Individuals who believe a federally funded construction project in their area is not being properly reported or that prevailing-wage rules are being disregarded may contact the Wage and Hour Division or reach out to a worker-rights or tenant-rights organization for general information about available complaint processes.
