Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices 799 

collection to reduce employer time and 

burden preparing applications, and 

promote greater efficiency and 

transparency in ETA’s review and 

issuance of labor certification decisions 

under the H–2B program. 

ETA is also seeking comments on the 

Form ETA–9155, H–2B Registration, 

which allows ETA to determine whether 

the nature and duration of the 

employer’s need for H–2B workers is 

temporary. Where ETA has not 

operationalized the registration process 

through a separate notice in the Federal 

Register, H–2B applications are exempt 

from the registration requirements 

under 20 CFR 655.11, and the 

adjudication of the employer’s 

temporary need will continue to occur 

based on information collected on the 

Form ETA–9142B. 

ETA is also seeking comments on its 

proposed implementation of three new 

appendices to the Form ETA–9142B. 

The proposed Appendix A would 

require an employer to use a standard 

format to disclose additional place(s) of 

employment and, if applicable, multiple 

wage offers for the job opportunity. 

Proposed Appendix C would require an 

employer to use a standard format to 

disclose the identity and location of all 

foreign labor recruiters. In order to 

recruit prospective foreign workers for 

the job opportunities offered by the 

employer under the Form ETA–9142B, 

the employer, and its attorney or agent 

(as applicable), must provide the 

identity and location of all persons and 

entities hired by or working for the 

recruiter or agent and any of the agent(s) 

or employee(s) of those person and 

entities. 20 CFR 655.9(b). Collection of 

this information in a standard format 

will also permit ETA more effectively to 

comply with 20 CFR 655.9(c), which 

requires the maintenance of a publicly 

available list of foreign labor recruiters 

and the location(s) in which they are 

operating. Proposed Appendix D would 

require an employer filing as a job 

contractor to disclose the name and 

contact information of its employerclient, as required by 20 CFR 

655.19(d)(1). These appendices will 

establish a more efficient and 

standardized method of collecting 

information currently submitted by 

employers to the Department using a 

variety of paper-based documents that 

are separately attached to the Form 

ETA–9142B. 

To promote greater efficiency in 

issuing temporary labor certification 

decisions and minimize delays 

associated with employers filing H–2B 

petitions with DHS, ETA is seeking to 

eliminate the issuance of paper-based 

labor certification decisions by 

proposing the creation of a one-page 

Form ETA–9142B, Final Determination: 

H–2B Temporary Labor Certification 

Approval, which will be issued 

electronically to employers granted 

temporary labor certification by DOL. In 

circumstances where the employer or, if 

applicable, its authorized attorney or 

agent, is not able to receive the 

temporary labor certification documents 

electronically, ETA will send the 

certification documents printed on 

standard paper in a manner that ensures 

overnight delivery. 

Finally, ETA is requesting a three-year 

extension, without change, of the Form 

ETA–9142B, Seafood Industry 

Attestation. Employers in the seafood 

industry who wish to stagger the entry 

of H–2B workers into the United States 

between 90 and 120 days after the 

certified start date of need will need to 

complete the Form ETA–9142B, 

Seafood Industry Attestation, and 

provide a copy to each H–2B worker to 

present, upon request by DHS, when 

seeking entry into the United States. 

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 the 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. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1205–0509. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

requirements would only take effect 

upon OMB approval. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on September 7, 2018 

(83 FR 45469). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1205–0509. The OMB 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Performance 

Partnership Pilots for Disconnected 

Youth Program (P3) National Evaluation 

information collection. More 

specifically, this ICR seeks clearance for 

four data collection activities conducted 

as part of the evaluation’s 

implementation and systems analyses: 

(1) Site visit interviews; (2) focus group 

discussions with P3 youth participants; 

(3) a survey of partner managers; and (4) 

a survey of partner service providers. 

This information collection has been 

classified as a revision, because the DOL 

request to add one site visit to each of 

the six Cohort 2⁄3 pilots as well as visits 

to each of six exemplar pilots. In 

addition, phone interviews to each 

Cohort 1 program director were also 

added to the evaluation plan. 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2014 section 526 authorizes this 

information collection. See Public Law 

113–76. 

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

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. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1219–0013. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on April 

30, 2020; however, the DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

requirements would only take effect 

upon OMB approval. For additional
