    Hi all,

    I work at a Job Corps Center that is subcontracted by the DOL, and we
use 171.2625 with a PL of  203.5 . There are three companies that DOL
subcontracts to run JCC's but DOL does run some of them directly.  Hope this
helps, and thanks to all who post here; You guys are great!  Nice I can
finally add to the discussion!
                73,
