ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed revision to the information collection request (ICR) titled ‘‘H–2B Foreign Labor Certification Program,’’ and related information collection and retention requirements (OMB Control Number 1205–0509), which covers Forms ETA–9142B, ETA–9142B, Appendices A, B, C, and D, ETA–9142B, Final Determination, ETA–9165, ETA– 9155, H–2B Seafood Industry lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Jan 11, 2022 Jkt 256001 Attestation, and related form instructions. This action seeks to revise the Form ETA–9142B and its instructions, revise the Form ETA– 9142B Appendix D, and make a change to the Form ETA–9155 and its instructions to conform to changes made to the Form ETA–9142B. This action seeks to extend without change to the remaining forms in the information collection. This comment request is part of continuing Departmental efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by March 14, 2022. ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation, including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency of response, and estimated total burden, may be obtained for free by contacting Brian Pasternak, Administrator, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, by telephone at 202–693–8200 (this is not a toll-free number), TTY 1–877–889– 5627 (this is not a toll-free number), or by email at ETA.OFLC.Forms@dol.gov. Submit written comments about, or requests for a copy of, this ICR by email at ETA.OFLC.Forms@dol.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Pasternak, Administrator, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, by telephone at 202–693–8200 (this is not a toll-free number) or by email at ETA.OFLC.Forms@dol.gov. Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, 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. This information collection is required by Sections 101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b) and 214(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1011(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b) and 1184(c)), as well as 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6), 20 CFR 655, Subpart A, and 29 CFR 503. The H–2B program enables employers to bring nonimmigrant foreign workers to the PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1787 United States to perform nonagricultural work of a temporary nature. See 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) consults with DOL with respect to the H–2B program, and DOL provides advice on whether U.S. workers capable of performing the temporary services or labor are available. See 8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(1), INA Section 214(c)(1) (providing for DHS to consult with ‘‘appropriate agencies of the Government’’). Under DHS regulations, an H–2B petition for temporary employment must be accompanied by an approved temporary labor certification from DOL, which serves as DOL’s consultative advice to DHS regarding whether a qualified U.S. worker is available to fill the petitioning H–2B employer’s job opportunity and whether a foreign worker’s employment in the job opportunity will adversely affect the wages or working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. See 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(iii)(A), (iv)(A). DHS and DOL jointly promulgated regulations establishing the processes by which an employer must obtain a prevailing wage and temporary labor certification from DOL, and the rights and obligations of workers and employers. See 20 CFR 655, subpart A; 29 CFR part 503; 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(iii)– (iv). The information contained in the Form ETA–9142B, H–2B Application for Temporary Employment Certification, and corresponding appendices serve as the basis for the Secretary’s determination that qualified U.S. workers are not available to perform the services or labor needed by the employer and that the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers will not be adversely affected by the employment of H–2B workers. ETA is seeking comments on proposed revisions to the Form ETA– 9142B, H–2B Application for Temporary Employment Certification, its instructions, and Form ETA–9142B, Appendix D. The proposed revisions to the Form ETA–9142B seek to clarify collection of cap-subject and capexempt data which DOL uses to inform its advice to DHS regarding the H–2B numerical cap and seek to streamline the collection of overtime wage information for all worksites for the application. The proposed revisions to the Form ETA–9142B, Appendix D modify the appendix to collect joint employer information, as applicable, in addition to job contractor information. This ICR includes the collection of information related to the use of employer-provided surveys for determining prevailing wages and the E:\FR\FM\12JAN1.SGM 12JAN1
