The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the Department of Labor (Department) is issuing this Notice to announce: The 2009 Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) for employers seeking to employ temporary or seasonal nonimmigrant foreign workers to perform agricultural labor or services (H-2A workers) or logging (H-2B logging workers); the allowable charges for 2009 that employers seeking H-2A workers, and H-2B logging workers may levy upon their workers when three meals a day are provided by the employer; and the maximum travel subsistence reimbursement which a worker with receipts may claim in 2009. AEWRs are the minimum wage rates the Department has determined must be offered and paid by employers of H-2A workers or H-2B logging workers to U.S. and foreign workers for a particular occupation and/or area so that the wages of similarly employed U.S. workers will not be adversely affected. 20 CFR 655.100(b) and 655.200(b).\1\ These rates will apply to applications for H-2A labor certification and H-2B logging certifications filed after June 29, 2009.
