Workers of Schweizer Aircraft
Corporation, a subsidiary of Sikorsky
Aircraft Corporation, a division of
United Technologies, Inc., Horseheads,
New York (Schweizer) are engaged in
activities related to the production of
helicopters and surveillance aircraft.
The Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on January 12, 2012
(77 FR 1951).
At the request of State of New York,
the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of Schweizer.
New information from the subject firm
shows that workers leased from Morris
Protective Service, Inc., Pinkerton
Government Services, Temco Service,
Inc., and Wesco Distribution, Inc., and
two individuals were employed on-site
at Schweizer. The Department has
determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the
Horsehead, New York location to be
considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Schweizer who were adversely affected
by increased aggregate imports of
helicopters and surveillance aircraft.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from Morris Protective Service, Inc.,
Pinkerton Government Services, Temco
Service, Inc., and Wesco Distribution,
Inc., and including Dr. Marc Immerman
and Mr. Dominic Insogna, who worked
on-site at the Horseheads, New York
location of Schweizer. The amended
notice applicable to TA–W–80,405 is
hereby issued as follows:

The U.S. Department of

recruitment standards that construction
contractors are required to follow when
recruiting United States (U.S.) workers
for Guam military base realignment
projects funded through the National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for
Fiscal Year 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
2834(a) of the NDAA for Fiscal Year
2010 (Pub. L. 111–84, enacted October
28, 2009) amended Section 2824(c) of
the Military Construction Authorization
Act (Pub. L. 110–417, Division B) by
adding a new subsection (6). This
provision prohibits contractors engaged
in construction projects related to the
realignment of U.S. military forces from
Okinawa to Guam from hiring workers
holding H–2B visas under the
Immigration and Nationality Act, 8
U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b), unless the
Governor of Guam (Governor), in
consultation with the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary), certifies that: (1) There is an
insufficient number of U.S. workers that
are able, willing, qualified, and
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:11 Jan 07, 2013
Jkt 229001
available to perform the work; and (2)
that the employment of workers holding
H–2B visas will not have an adverse
effect on either the wages or the working
conditions of workers in Guam.
In order to allow the Governor to
make this certification, the NDAA
requires contractors to recruit workers
in the U.S., including in Guam, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, American Samoa, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico,
according to the terms of a recruitment
plan developed and approved by the
Secretary. That recruitment plan has
been reproduced in full in Section I
below (‘‘Contractor Recruitment
Standards’’).
The Department has developed the
Contractor Recruitment Standards in
full consultation with, and with the
approval of, the Guam Department of
Labor (GDOL). Although the Department
has developed the recruitment
standards, it has assigned oversight of
the Contractor Recruitment Standards
and the NDAA-required consultation
with the Governor to GDOL through a
Memorandum of Understanding
between the Department and GDOL,
effective November 22, 2011 (the MOU
can be found on the RegInfo.gov Web
site listed at the end of this Federal
Register Notice).
Under the NDAA, no Guam base
realignment construction project work
may be performed by a person holding
an H–2B visa under the Immigration
and Nationality Act until the contractor
complies with the Department’s
Contractor Recruitment Standards, and
the Governor of Guam issues the
certification noted above.
The Department issued interim
recruitment standards in the Federal
Register on January 24, 2012 (77 FR
3503).
This Final Notice has made several
changes to the interim contractor
recruitment standards, the most
significant of which reduced the data
collection burden and clarified the
information that contractors must
include in the construction job postings.
These changes include the following.
1. Eliminating the requirement that
contractors post the job openings on a
separate Internet job bank in addition to
the other posting requirements. The
posting on the Guam Job Bank will be
widely available through the US.jobs
Web site (formerly the National Labor
Exchange). The Department determined
that this posting was sufficient, and that
additional Internet postings would be
redundant.
2. Eliminating the requirement to
advertise job opportunities in an
American Samoa newspaper, in favor of
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Internet job postings. This change was
made because the Department
determined that utilization of the
American Samoa job bank for
recruitment no longer requires
supplementation by newspaper
advertising, as a result of improvements
made to that job bank.
3. Adding a statement to the job
posting requirement concerning
whether the contractor will pay for
worker transportation to Guam. This
change was made to conform the
information included in advertisements
placed under this recruitment standard
with information commonly included in
job orders submitted to the GDOL.
4. Clarifying the overtime pay
requirement for the job postings. This
change was made to clarify that
contractors must include a statement
regarding the availability and payment
of overtime wages in their
advertisements, if overtime is required
by law.
5. Adding a statement to the job
posting requirement regarding board,
lodging, and fringe benefit information.
This change was made to conform the
information included in advertisements
placed under this recruitment standard
with information commonly included in
job orders submitted to the GDOL.
6. Eliminating the requirement that
the recruitment report describe the dates
that the newspaper advertisements
appeared in an American Samoa
newspaper. The Department eliminated
this requirement, because the removal of
the requirement to advertise in an
American Samoa newspaper rendered
this requirement moot.
7. Clarifying that contractors do not
need to provide their recruitment report
in a narrative form. This change was
made in order to clarify that contractor
recruitment reports may be in other
formats, including a table or
spreadsheet, rather than only in a
narrative form.
As required by Section 2834(b)(2) of
the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2010, the
Department assessed, among other
things, the opportunities to expand the
recruitment of workers in the U.S.
(including Guam, the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands, American
Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico), and the
ability of labor markets to support the
Guam realignment. This assessment is
included in U.S. Department of Labor
Report to Congress Required by the
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2010 (July 29, 2011). The
Department submitted this assessment
to the Senate Committees on Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions, and
Armed Services; and the House of
