(b) If no ratio of apprentices to journeymen is set forth in the collective bargaining agreement used by the Commissioner to make his or her prevailing wage determination, the maximum ratio of apprentices to journeymen shall be one apprentice to every four journeymen.

(c) If the prevailing collective bargaining agreement for a craft or trade does not provide for an apprentice rate, the employer shall pay the employees not less than the journeyman's rate even if an employee is registered in an apprentice program for that trade.
