[37 F.R. 6883, Apr. 5, 1972] [Cost of Living Council Order 11] EMPLOYEES OF RESTAURANTS, HOTELS, AND ALLIED OCCUPATIONS The Cost of Living Council hereby terminates its Order No. 10, 37 F.R. 11798 (June 14, 1972), which temporarily suspended revised Wage Order No. 10 of the District of Columbia Minimum Wage and Industrial Safety Board to the extent that that order would have required wage increases beyond $1.90 per hour. The action hereby taken by the Cost of Living Council is based upon the Council action to exempt all wage increases to individuals who are paid at a rate less than $2.75 per hour, 6 CFR 101.104, as amended July 25, 1972, effective as of July 15, 1972. Revised Wage Order No. 10 of the District of Columbia Minimum Wage and Industrial Safety Board provides for a minimum wage increase from $1.60 to $2.25 per hour for employees of restaurants, hotels and allied occupa tions. Wage increases required for the full implementation of revised Wage Order No. 10 are now exempt from Pay Board regulations, and the potential for the gross inequities described in Cost of Living Council Order No. 10, which that order was designed to avoid, no longer exists. Accordingly, the implementation of revised Wage Order No. 10 is no longer affected by Cost of Living Council Order No. 10, beginning July 15, 1972, which is the effective date of the amendment to 6 CFR 101.104. The Council takes this action under authority of the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, as amended (Public Law 92210, 85 Stat. 743) and Executive Order No. 11640, as amended (37 F.R. 1213, January 27, 1972). Because the purpose of this order is to provide immediate guidance and information as to Cost of Living Council action, the Council finds that publication in accordance with usual rule making procedures is impracticable and that good cause exists for making this order effective in less than 30 days. This order shall be effective July 15, 1972.
