214.2(h)(5)(i)(A), (iii)(A).)
The information contained in the
Form ETA–9142A is the basis for the
Secretary’s determination that no U.S.
workers are available. The Form ETA–
9142A, H–2A Application for
Temporary Employment Certification, is
used to collect information to permit the
Department to meet its statutory
responsibilities for administering the H–
2A temporary labor certification
program. The Appendix A lists all of the
attestations required by employers in
the H–2A program. The proposed
amendment to the Appendix A will
allow employers who file electronically
to submit a copy of a signed Appendix
A with their electronically filed Form
ETA–9142A and, upon receipt of the
original certified Form ETA–9142A, to
complete the footer on the original
Appendix A with the information
contained on the approved application.
Employers must retain the original
Appendix A and file a copy of the
signed Appendix A, together with the
original certified Form ETA–9142A,
with Department of Homeland
Security’s U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services.
Lastly, the Department is proposing
revisions to Appendix A to reflect the
requirements of 20 CFR 655.200–235,
which are the new regulatory
requirements for H–2A employers who
are in the sheep and goat herding and
range production of livestock
occupations.

The DOL
Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination
of Child Labor, presented by the
Secretary of Labor, is intended to
recognize exceptional efforts to reduce
the worst forms of child labor. The
Award was created in response to a
Senate Committee mandate directing the
Secretary of Labor to establish an annual
non-monetary award recognizing
extraordinary efforts by an individual,
company, organization, or national
government to reduce the worst forms of
child labor. The DOL is proposing to
extend this ICR to allow the public to
nominate and provide critical
information on proposed candidates for
this award who have demonstrated
extraordinary efforts to combat the
worst forms of child labor.
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 if the
collection of information 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 1290–0007. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
February 29, 2016; however, the DOL
intends to seek continued approval for
this collection of information for an
additional three years.
The DOL, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to
provide the general public and Federal
agencies an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections
of information before they are submitted
to the OMB. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided

This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Placement Verification and Follow-up
of Job Corps Participants information
collection. The collection consists of
three primary and two secondary data
collection instruments used to collect
follow-up data on individuals who are
no longer actively participating in Job
Corps. The instruments are comprised
of modules that include questions
designed to obtain the following
information: Re-verification of initial job
and/or school placements, employment
and educational experiences, job search
activities of those who are neither
working nor in school, and information
about former participants’ satisfaction
with services received. Workforce
Investment Act (Pub. L. 107–210, Title
I Subtitle C) authorizes, and the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act authorize this information
collection.
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

this collection is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2015. DOL seeks to extend
PRA authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing
requirements. DOL notes that existing
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB receive a monthto-month extension while they undergo
review. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on September 4, 2015 (80 FR
