If the trainee program <br />does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid <br />the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage <br />determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and <br />Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship <br />program associated with the corresponding journeyman <br />wage rate on the wage determination which provides for <br />less than full fringe benefits for apprentices.
