30 days from the date of this publication
in the Federal Register. In order to
ensure the appropriate consideration,
comments should reference the OMB
Control Number (see below).
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Agency: Employment and Training
Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Title: Application for Alien
Employment Certification.
OMB Control Number: 1205–0015.
Form Number: ETA–750, Parts A and

Affected Public: Private Sector:
Business or other for-profits; Farms; and
Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Description: The information
collection is required by section

Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
212(a)(5)(A), section 214(c) and section
218 of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(5)(A),
1184(c) and 1188). The INA mandates
the Secretary of Labor to certify that any
alien seeking to enter the United States
for the purpose of performing skilled or
unskilled labor is not adversely affecting
wages and working conditions of U.S.
workers similarly employed and that
there are not sufficient U.S. workers
able, willing, and qualified to perform
such skilled or unskilled labor. Before
any employer may request any skilled or
unskilled alien labor, it must submit a
request for certification to the Secretary
of Labor containing the elements
prescribed by the INA or meet one of the
exceptions in the INA. Both the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Homeland Security have
promulgated regulations to implement
these sections of the INA. The relevant
regulations are 20 CFR 655.1–4, 20 CFR
655.90–113, 20 CFR 655.200–215, 8 CFR
204.5(k)(4)(ii), and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)
and (6).
In order to meet its statutory
responsibilities under the INA, the
Department needs to extend an existing
collection of information pertaining to
employers seeking to import foreign
labor. The Form ETA–750 is the
mechanism used to collect the necessary
information which is utilized not only
by the Department, but also by other
Federal agencies to meet the
requirements of the INA. The
Department uses the information
collected to implement several of its
nonimmigrant worker programs,
including the H–2A and H–2B
temporary work programs, and for both
permanent and temporary programs for
the employment of alien professional
athletes. The Department of Homeland
Security, U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, utilizes the form
for its National Interest Waiver program
for employment-sponsored immigration.

Description: The accuracy and
reliability of program reports submitted
by states and grantees using Federal

Federal government has emphasized the
importance of complete information for
program monitoring and improving
program results. States and grantees
receiving funding under WIA Title IB,
Wagner-Peyser Act, TAA, and the Older

and (4)), and TAA regulations 20 CFR

receiving funding from ETA and the
Veterans’ Employment and Training

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Proposal Review; Notice of Meetings
In accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–
463, as amended), the National Science
Foundation (NSF) announces its intent
to hold proposal review meetings
throughout the year. The purpose of
these meetings is to provide advice and
recommendations concerning proposals
submitted to the NSF for financial
support. The agenda for each of these
meetings is to review and evaluate
proposals as part of the selection
process for awards. The review and
evaluation may also include assessment
of the progress of awarded proposals.
The majority of these meetings will take
place at NSF, 4201 Wilson Blvd.,
Arlington, Virginia 22230.
These meetings will be closed to the
public. The proposals being reviewed
include information of a proprietary or
confidential nature, including technical
information; financial data, such as
salaries; and personal information
concerning individuals associated with
the proposals. These matters are exempt
under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), (4) and (6) of the
Government in the Sunshine Act. NSF
will continue to review the agenda and
merits of each meeting for overall
compliance of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act.
These closed proposal review
meetings will no longer be announced
on an individual basis in the Federal
Register. NSF intends to publish a
notice similar to this on a quarterly
basis. For an advance listing of the
closed proposal review meetings that
include the names of the proposal
review panel and the time, date, place,
and any information on changes,
corrections, or cancellations, please visit
