Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sections 212(n) and (t) and 214(c) require this information collection. See 8 U.S.C. 1182(n) and (t) and 1184(c). The DOL and Department of Homeland Security have promulgated regulations to implement the INA. Specifically for this collection, 20 CFR 655 Subparts H and I and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(4) are applicable. The INA mandates that no alien may enter the U.S. for the purpose of performing professional work on a temporary basis unless the U.S. employer has attested to the Secretary of Labor that the working conditions for the alien will not adversely affect the working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers; that the salary will be at least the prevailing wage for the occupational classification in the area of employment or the actual wage paid by the employer to all other individuals with similar experience and qualifications for the specific employment in question, whichever is higher; that there is no strike or lockout in the course of a labor dispute in the occupational classification at the place of employment; and that the employer has met all other requirements of the program as specified in the regulations. The information collection instruments are used by employers seeking to use non-immigrants (H–1B, H–1B1, E–3) in specialty occupations and as fashion models or by interested parties who want to report violations. The SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00098 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information permits the DOL to meet its statutory responsibilities for program administration, management, and oversight. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1205–0310. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2014 (79 FR 78910). Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in the ADDRESSES section by April 30, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the Labor Condition Application for H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 Non-Immigrants
information collection. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sections
212(n) and (t) and 214(c) require this information collection. See 8
U.S.C. 1182(n) and (t) and 1184(c). The DOL and Department of Homeland
Security have promulgated regulations to implement the INA.
Specifically for this collection, 20 CFR 655 Subparts H and I and 8 CFR
214.2(h)(4) are applicable. The INA mandates that no alien may enter
the U.S. for the purpose of performing professional work on a temporary
basis unless the U.S. employer has attested to the Secretary of Labor
that the working conditions for the alien will not adversely affect the
working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers; that the salary
will be at least the prevailing wage for the occupational
classification in the area of employment or the actual wage paid by the
employer to all other individuals with similar experience and
qualifications for the specific employment in question, whichever is
higher; that there is no strike or lockout in the course of a labor
dispute in the occupational classification at the place of employment;
and that the employer has met all other requirements of the program as
specified in the regulations. The information collection instruments
are used by employers seeking to use non-immigrants (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)
in specialty occupations and as fashion models or by interested parties
who want to report violations. The information permits the DOL to meet
its statutory responsibilities for program administration, management,
and oversight.
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection
under Control Number 1205-0310.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3)
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is
scheduled to expire on March 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2014 (79 FR
78910).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section by April 30, 2015. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number
1205-0310. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
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;

[[Page 16457]]

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.
