SUMMARY: The Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) of the
U.S. Department of Labor (Department
or DOL) is issuing this Notice to
announce the 2007 AEWRs for
employers seeking to employ temporary
or seasonal nonimmigrant foreign
workers to perform agricultural labor or
services (H–2A workers) or logging (H–
2 logging workers); the allowable
charges for 2007 that employers seeking
H–2A workers and H–2 logging workers
may levy upon their workers when three
meals a day are provided by the
employer; and the maximum travel
subsistence reimbursement which a
worker with receipts may claim in 2007.
AEWRs are the minimum wage rates
the Department has determined must be
offered and paid by employers of H–2A
workers or H–2 logging workers to U.S.
and foreign workers. AEWRs are
established in order to prevent the
employment of these foreign workers
from adversely affecting wages of
similarly employed U.S. workers. The
Department also announces the
minimum and maximum charge of
travel subsistence expenses a worker
may claim in 2007.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 21, 2007.

The U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services
may not approve an employer’s petition
for admission of H–2A workers or H–2
logging workers in the United States
unless the petitioner has received from
DOL an H–2A or H–2 labor certification,
as appropriate. Approved labor
certifications attest: (1) There are not
sufficient U.S. workers who are able,
willing, and qualified and who will be
available at the time and place needed
to perform the labor or services involved
in the petition; and (2) the employment
of the foreign worker in such labor or
services will not adversely affect the
wages and working conditions of
workers in the U.S. similarly employed.
8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a),1184(c),

DOL’s regulations for the H–2A and
H–2 program require employers to offer
and pay their U.S., H–2A, and H–2
workers no less than the appropriate
hourly AEWR in effect at the time the
work is performed. 20 CFR 655.102(b)(9)
