 Issued 2 times a year
• February 22
• August 22
• Wage Determinations are referenced by a four digit year followed by a
dash (-) and then a 1 or a 2.
 A one (1) is for the February 22 determination
 A two (2) is for the August 22 determination.
• Example: The prevailing wage determinations for 2004 are 2004-1
and 2004-2.
• The effective date of each determination is ten (10) days after the issue
date.
