With respect to the labor standards specified in this subsection, the Secretary of Labor shall have the authority and functions set forth in Reorganization Plan Numbered 14 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1267; 5 U.S.C.

(A)was not satisfied with respect to the construction, alteration, or repair work on such housing unit. For purposes of subparagraph (A), an eligible recipient shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements under this subsection with respect to a housing unit if such eligible recipient has requested qualified apprentices from a registered apprenticeship program, and— such request has been denied, as long as such denial is not the result of a refusal by the eligible recipient or any contractors or subcontractors engaged in the performance of construction, alteration, or repair work with respect to such housing unit to comply with the established standards and requirements of the registered apprenticeship program; or the registered apprenticeship program fails to respond to such request within 5 business days after the date on which such registered apprenticeship program received such request. In this subsection: The term labor hours — means the total number of hours devoted to the performance of construction, alteration, or repair work by any individual employed by the eligible recipient or by any contractor or subcontractor; and excludes any hours worked by— foremen; superintendents; owners; or persons employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity (within the meaning of those terms in part 541 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations). The term qualified apprentice means an individual who— is employed by the eligible recipient or by any contractor or subcontractor; and is participating in a registered apprenticeship program. The term registered apprenticeship program means an apprenticeship program registered under the Act of August 16, 1937 (commonly known as the National Apprenticeship Act ; 50 Stat. 664, chapter 663; 29 U.S.C. 50 et seq. ). .
