AGENCY:

SUMMARY: The Employment and

announces the availability of
approximately $15 million in grant

pathways model provides to use
innovative service delivery strategies.
Grantees will use their award to support
job-driven approaches in their preexisting career pathway systems and
programs to equip individuals with
disabilities with the skills,
competencies, and credentials necessary
to help them obtain in-demand jobs,
increase earnings, and advance their
careers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Military Construction
Authorization Act, as amended by the
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2010, 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 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. This recruitment plan was
published as a set of Contractor
Recruitment Standards in the Federal
Register on January 8, 2013 (78 FR

1256) and is available at: https://
www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/
01/08/2013-00114/guam-military-baserealignment-contractor-recruitmentstandards. 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 a certification of that compliance.
II. Review Focus
The Department 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 submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions
Type of Review: Extension without
revisions.
