• Develop telephone scripts for a
Toll-Free Help Line directing job
seekers to the GDOL job bank;
• Ensure that Departmental offices—
including the Office of Unemployment
Insurance, the Office of Apprenticeship,
the Office of Job Corps, the Veterans’
Employment and Training Service, and
the YouthBuild program—are informed
of the construction employment
opportunities; and
• Brief pertinent inter-governmental
and labor organizations (including the
National Governors Association,
National Conference of State
Legislatures, and building trades
unions), so that they can assist in
spreading information about the U.S.
worker outreach effort.
III. Public Burden Statement
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has approved the Department’s
request to extend the information
collection (OMB Control Number 1205–
0484) for three years, expiring
September 30, 2015.
Persons are not required to respond to
this collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number
(1205–0484). The public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated at three hours per job order,
including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information.
Further information on this ICR can be
accessed using control number 1205–
0484 at the RegInfo.gov Web site at
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
To do this, use the following
instructions.
1. Go to the first ‘‘Select Agency’’ box
and click on the drop-down arrow, and
then select ‘‘Department of Labor.’’
Then click on the ‘‘Submit’’ button to
the right of the box.
2. Each entry lists the OMB Control
Number at the top of the entry. Scroll
down the screen until 1205–0484
appears (the entries are in numerical
order).
3. Once you reach 1205–0484, click
on the number immediately below that,
the ICR Reference Number (not the
Control Number itself).
4. To see the Information Collection
notices themselves, click on ‘‘View
Information Collection (IC) List’’ near
the top of the page on the left. To see
the Report to Congress, the MOU, the
ICR Supporting Statement and other
relevant documents, click on ‘‘View
Supporting Statement and Other
Documents’’ near the top of the page on
the right.
Signed at Washington, DC this 26th day of
December, 2012.

issuing this notice to announce the 2013
Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) for
the employment of temporary or
seasonal nonimmigrant foreign workers
(H–2A workers) to perform agricultural
labor or services.
AEWRs are the minimum wage rates
the Department has determined must be
offered and paid by employers to H–2A
workers and workers in corresponding
employment for a particular agricultural
job and area so that the wages of
similarly employed U.S. workers will
not be adversely affected. 20 CFR
655.100(b). In this notice, the
Department announces the AEWRs for
2013.
DATES: Effective Date: This notice is
effective January 8, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
William L. Carlson, Ph.D.,
Administrator, Office of Foreign Labor
Certification, U.S. Department of Labor,
Room C–4312, 200 Constitution Avenue
NW., Washington, DC 20210.
Telephone: 202–693–3010 (this is not a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services of
the Department of Homeland Security

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(s) 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)(1),
and 1188(a); 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5).
Adverse Effect Wage Rates for 2013
The Department’s H–2A regulations at
20 CFR 655.120(l) provide that
employers must pay their H–2A workers
and workers in corresponding
employment at least the highest of: (i)
The AEWR; (ii) the prevailing hourly
wage rate; (iii) the prevailing piece rate;
(iv) the agreed-upon collective
bargaining wage rate, if applicable; or
(v) the Federal or State minimum wage
rate, in effect at the time the work is
performed.
Except as otherwise provided in 20
CFR part 655, subpart B, the regionwide AEWR for all agricultural
employment (except those occupations
deemed inappropriate under the special
procedure provisions of 20 CFR
655.102) for which temporary H–2A
certification is being sought is equal to
the annual weighted average hourly
wage rate for field and livestock workers
(combined) in the State or region as
published annually by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). 20
CFR 655.120(c) requires that the
Administrator of the Office of Foreign
Labor Certification publish the USDA
field and livestock worker (combined)
wage data as AEWRs in a Federal
Register notice. Accordingly, the 2013
AEWRs to be paid for agricultural work
performed by U.S. and H–2A workers
