of Foreign Labor Certification, by

ETA.OFLC.Forms@dol.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department, in its continuing efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a pre-clearance
consultation program to provide the
general public and Federal agencies an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information before submitting them to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for final approval. This program
ensures the public provides all
necessary data in the desired format, the
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements
can be properly assessed.
Under the foreign labor certification
programs administered by ETA, SWAs
are funded through annually
reimbursable grants. These grants fund
certain activities that support the
processing of applications for temporary
labor certification filed by U.S.
employers in order to hire foreign
workers in the H–2B or H–2A visa
categories to perform nonagricultural or
agricultural services or labor. Under the
grant agreements, SWAs must review
and transmit, through the intrastate and
interstate systems, job orders submitted
by employers in order to recruit U.S.
workers prior to filling the job openings
with foreign workers. In order to
effectively monitor the administration of
foreign labor certification activities by
the SWAs, the Department requires the
SWAs to report their workloads related
to these activities on a quarterly basis.
This collection of information is
conducted through the Form ETA–9127,
Foreign Labor Certification Quarterly
Activity Report. This report is critical
for ensuring accountability and for
future program management, including
budget and workload management.
The current ICR expires September
22, 2022. The Department seeks to
extend, without changes, the validity of
the Form ETA–9127 and the
instructions that accompany the form.
This information collection is subject to
the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:54 Dec 15, 2021
Jkt 256001
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection unless OMB,
under the PRA, approves it and the
collection tool 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.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB control number 1205–
0457.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The Department encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The Department 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;
• 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).

The WIAC is an important component

market information issues; (2) seeking

development decision making and
policy; and (3) advising the Secretary on
how the workforce and labor market
information system can best support
workforce development, planning, and
program development. Additional
information is available at www.dol.gov/
agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings.
Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the
process of identifying and reviewing
issues and aspects of the WLMI system
and statewide systems that comprise the

and discuss the draft recommendations
from the three sub-committees, (3)
