Uniform allowances of $3.35 per week are provided where required. Computer professional employees and positions requiring special certifications are subject to specific exemptions and compliance procedures outlined in the regulation. Contractors must submit conformance requests on Standard Form 1444 for unlisted occupations requiring wage determination.
