SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The information collection is required 

by sections 203(b)(3) and 212(a)(5)(A) of 

the Immigration and Nationality Act 

(INA) (8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(3) and 

1182(a)(5)(A)). The Department and the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) have promulgated regulations to 

implement the INA. Specifically for this 

collection, the regulations at 20 CFR 656 

and 8 CFR 204.5 (the regulations) are 

applicable. Section 212(a)(5)(A) of the 

INA mandates the Secretary of Labor to 

certify that any alien seeking to enter 

the United States for the purpose of 

performing skilled or unskilled labor is 

not adversely affecting wages and 

working conditions of U.S. workers 

similarly employed and that there are 

not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, 

and qualified to perform such skilled or 

unskilled labor. Before any employer 

may request any skilled or unskilled 

alien labor, it must submit a request for 

certification to the Secretary of Labor 

containing the elements prescribed by 

the INA and the regulations. The 

regulations require employers to 

document their recruitment efforts and 

to substantiate the reasons no U.S. 

workers were hired. 

II. Review Focus 

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 submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

In order to meet its statutory 

responsibilities under the INA, the 

Department needs to extend an existing 

collection of information pertaining to 

employers seeking to apply for labor 

certifications to allow them to bring 

foreign workers to the United States on 

a permanent basis. The information 

collection consists of the current form 

used by all employers and a modified 

form, previously approved by OMB, but 

never implemented by the Department. 

Once the Department completes 

building the electronic filing and case 

management system required to support 

the modified form, the current form will 

become obsolete and the modified form 

will become operative. At this time, the 

Department is not requesting that any 

substantive changes be made to either 

form. 

In the past the respondents have been 

for-profit businesses, not-for-profit 

institutions, individuals, households, 

and farms. On rare occasions the 

respondents have been local, state, tribal 

governments, or the federal government. 

The Secretary of Labor uses the 

collected information to determine if 

allowing an alien to enter the United 

States for the purpose of performing 

skilled or unskilled labor will adversely 

affect wages and working conditions of 

U.S. workers similarly employed and 

whether or not there were sufficient 

U.S. workers able, willing, and qualified 

to perform such skilled or unskilled 

labor at the time of the application.

Leased Workers From Railserve, 

Franklin, VA; Amended Certification 

Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance 

In accordance with section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’), 

19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor 

issued a Certification of Eligibility to 

Apply for Worker Adjustment 

Assistance on December 17, 2009,

workers of International Paper 

Company, Franklin Pulp & Paper Mill, 

Franklin, Virginia. The notice was 

published in the Federal Register on

workers are engaged in the production 

of uncoated freesheet paper and coated 

paperboard. On April 27, 2010, the

amended certification was published in

and previously-submitted information, 

the Department determined that the 

subject worker group meet the criteria of 

Section 222(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, 

as amended. The Department has 

determined that increased imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

those produced by the subject firm 

contributed importantly to sales and/or 

production decline and worker 

separations at the Franklin, Virginia 

facility. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–72,764 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers International Paper Company,
