tive that the Corporation furnish free housing to low-income workers has not been adopted.
Wage determinations for several years have provided that compensable work ing time, commences at the time the worker is required to start work in the field and ends upon completion of work in the field, except that if workers are required to report to a place other than the field, such as an assembly point, stable, tractor shed, etc., located on the farm, the time spent in transit between such place and the field is compensable working time. This provision is uni form in all areas and is deemed to be equitable. Therefore, the recommenda tion of a labor representative for a change in compensable working time has not been adopted.
On the basis of examination of all the pertinent factors, the provisions of this determination are deemed to be fa ir and reasonable.
Accordingly, I hereby find and con clude that the foregoing wage determi nation will effectuate the wage pro visions of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended.
