Wage Methodology for the Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment H-2B Program; Postponement of Effective Date
The Department of Labor (Department) is postponing the effective date of the Wage Methodology for the Temporary Non- Agricultural Employment H-2B Program; Final Rule, 76 FR 3452, Jan. 19, 2011, (the Wage Rule). The Wage Rule revised the methodology by which we calculate the prevailing wages to be paid to H-2B workers and United States (U.S.) workers recruited in connection with a temporary labor certification for use in petitioning the Department of Homeland Security to employ a nonimmigrant worker in H-2B status. The effective date of the Wage Rule was set at January 1, 2012. However, the Wage Methodology for the Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment H-2B Program; Amendment of Effective Date; Final Rule, 76 FR 45667, August 1, 2011 revised the effective date to September 30, 2011. Due to pending legal challenges, we are postponing the effective date of the Wage Rule to November 30, 2011, pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 705.
Extension Request for Collection of Baseline Information for Green Jobs and Health Care Impact Evaluation of ARRA-Funded Grants
The Department of Labor (Department or DOL), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) [44 U.S.C. 3505(c)(2)(A)]. The program helps to ensure that 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 the collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning the continued collection of baseline data to support the evaluation of the impact of the Green Jobs and Health Care American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA or Recovery Act)-funded training grants. The present OMB approval expires January 31, 2011. This information collection follows an emergency review that was conducted in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and 5 CFR 1320.13. The submission for OMB emergency review was approved on July 18, 2011. A copy of this ICR can be obtained from the RegInfo.gov Web site at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
