Title: Attestations by Facilities Temporarily Employing H–1C Nonimmigrant Aliens as Registered Nurses. OMB Number: 1205–0415. Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profit and Not-forprofit institutions. Estimated Number of Respondents: 14. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 172. Estimated Total Annual Costs Burden: $0. Description: On November 12, 1999, the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999 (NRDAA), Public Law 106–95, amended the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to establish the H–1C program to reduce the shortage of qualified nurses in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). The ETA and Employment Standards Administration (ESA) promulgated regulations at 20 CFR part 655, subparts L and M, governing the filing and enforcement of attestations by facilities seeking to employ aliens as registered nurses in HPSAs on a temporary basis. (See 65 FR 51149, Aug. 22, 2000.) The NRDAA allows qualified hospitals to employ temporary foreign workers as registered nurses for up to three (3) years under the H–1C visas. Facilities seeking H–1C visas are required to file attestations with the Secretary of Labor. Each facility must attest that (1) It meets the definition of ‘‘facility’’ based on the Social Security Act and the Public Health Service Act, (2) it did not and will not lay off a registered nurse in the period between 90 days before and 90 days after the filing of any H–1C petition, (3) it will PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52395 not employ a number of H–1C nurses that exceeds 33 percent of the total number of registered nurses employed at the facility, and (4) it will not authorize the H–1C nurse to perform nursing services at any worksite other than a worksite controlled by the facility or transfer the H–1C nurse’s place of employment from one work place to another. The NRDAA expired on June 13, 2005. However, on December 20, 2006, with the enactment of Public Law 109– 423, Congress reauthorized the H–1C program for an additional three (3) years. The key provisions of the program remain unaffected and take effect immediately. The mechanism for employers or facilities to make attestations to the Secretary of Labor is the ETA Form 9081, and to expedite implementation of the reauthorized statute, the ETA is requesting a reinstatement, without modifications, to this information collection.

The second provision is section 470.4(d) which provides that contractors may make a written request to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Labor- E:\FR\FM\13SEN1.SGM 13SEN1
