SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as
part of 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 helps to ensure
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements can be properly assessed.
WIOA authorizes the collection of
information from Job Corps applicants
to determine eligibility for the Job Corps
program. 29 U.S.C. 3194–3195.
Applicant and student data is
maintained in accordance with the
Department’s Privacy Act System of
Records Notice DOL/GOVT–2 Job Corps
Student Records authorizes 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 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.
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–
0030.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,

or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL 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).

Employment and Training
Administration, Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) of the
Department of Labor (DOL) is issuing
this notice to announce the annual
updates to allowable monetary charges
employers of H–2A workers, in
occupations other than herding or
production of livestock on the range,
may charge any workers who reside in
employer-provided housing when the
employer provides three meals per day.
This notice also announces the
maximum travel subsistence meal
reimbursement a worker with receipts
may claim under the H–2A and H–2B
programs. Finally, this notice includes a
reminder regarding employers’
obligations with respect to overnight
lodging costs as part of required
subsistence.
DATES: These allowable charges become
effective February 9, 2023.

for the admission of H–2A or H–2B
nonimmigrant temporary workers in the
U.S. unless the petitioner has received
an H–2A or H–2B labor certification
from DOL. The labor certification
provides that: (1) there are not sufficient
U.S. workers who are able, willing, and
qualified and who will be available at
the time and place needed to perform
the labor or services involved in the
petition; and (2) the employment of the
foreign worker(s) in such labor or
services will not adversely affect the
wages and working conditions of
workers in the U.S. similarly employed.
See 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a) and
(b), 1184(c)(1), and 1188(a); 8 CFR
214.2(h)(5) and (6); 20 CFR 655.1(a) and
655.100.
Allowable Meal Charge
H–2A agricultural employers who are
employing workers in occupations other
than herding or production of livestock
on the range must offer and provide
each worker who resides in employerprovided housing three meals per day or
free and convenient cooking
facilities.1 See 20 CFR 655.122(g). Where
the employer provides the meals, the job
offer must state the charge, if any, to the
worker for such meals. See id. The
amount of meal charges is governed by
20 CFR 655.173.
By regulation, DOL has established
the methodology for determining the
maximum amount that H–2A
agricultural employers may charge
workers for providing them with three
meals per day. See 20 CFR 655.173(a).
This methodology allows for annual
adjustments of the previous year’s
maximum allowable charge based on
the updated Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers for Food (CPI–U
for Food), not seasonally adjusted. See
id. The maximum amount employers
may charge workers for providing meals
is adjusted annually by the 12-month
percentage change in the CPI–U for
Food for the prior year (i.e., between
December of the year just concluded
and December of the prior year). See id.
The Office of Foreign Labor Certification
(OFLC) Certifying Officer may also
permit an employer to charge workers a
higher amount for providing them with
three meals a day if the higher amount
is justified and sufficiently documented
by the employer, as set forth in 20 CFR
655.173(b).
The percentage change in the CPI–U
for Food between December 2021 and
1 H–2A employers must provide workers engaged
in herding or the production of livestock on the
range meals or food to prepare meals without
charge or deposit charge. See 20 CFR 655.210(e).
