SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The information
collection is required by the WagnerPeyser Act codified at 20 CFR part 653,
which cover the requirements for the
acceptance and handling of intrastate
and interstate job clearance orders
seeking workers to perform agricultural
or food processing work on a less than
year round basis. Section 653.501 states,
in pertinent part, that employers must
assure that the ‘‘wages and working
conditions are not less than the
prevailing wages and working
conditions among similarly employed
agricultural workers in the area of
intended employment or the applicable
Federal or State minimum wage,
whichever is higher.’’ Also, regulations
for the temporary employment of alien
agricultural workers in the United
States, (20 CFR, part 655, subpart B)
promulgated under section 218 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
as amended, require employers to pay
the workers ‘‘at least the adverse effect
wage rate in effect at the time the work
is performed, the prevailing hourly
wage rate, or the legal federal or State
minimum wage rate, whichever is
highest.’’ The vehicle for establishing
the prevailing wage rate is ETA Form
232, The Domestic Agricultural InSeason Wage Report. This Report
contains the prevailing wage finding
based on data collected by the States
from employers in a specific crop area
using the ETA Form 232–A.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor 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,
