BILLING CODE 4410–15–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Notice To Ensure State Workforce 

Agencies Are Aware of the Revised 

Schedule of Remuneration for the 

Unemployment Compensation for ExServicemembers (UCX) Program That 

Reflects the Military Pay Increase 

Effective January 1, 2019 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Each year, the Department of 

Defense issues a Schedule of 

Remuneration used by states for UCX 

purposes. States must use the schedule 

to determine Federal military wages for 

UCX ‘‘first claims’’ only when the 

Federal Claims Control Center (FCCC) 

responds to a request for information 

indicating that there is no Copy 5 of the 

Certificate of Release or Discharge from 

Active Duty (DD Form 214) for an 

individual under the social security 

number provided. A response from the 

FCCC that indicates ‘‘no DD214 on file’’ 

will prompt the state to start the 

affidavit process and to use the attached 

schedule to calculate the Federal 

military wages for an unemployment 

insurance or UCX monetary 

determination. 

The schedule applies to UCX ‘‘first 

claims’’ filed beginning with the first 

day of the first week that begins on or 

after January 1, 2019, pursuant to the 

UCX program regulations (see 20 CFR 

614.12(c)). States must continue to use 

the 2018 schedule (or other appropriate 

schedule) for UCX ‘‘first claims’’ filed 

before the effective date of the revised 

schedule. 

Signed: 

Molly E. Conway, 

Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment 

and Training, Labor.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the H–2B Foreign Labor 

Certification Program information 

collection. The information collection is 

required by Sections 101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b) 

and 214(c) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 

1011(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b) and 1184(c)), as 

well as 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6), 20 CFR 655, 

Subpart A, and 29 CFR 503. The H–2B 

program enables employers to bring 

nonimmigrant foreign workers to the 

United States to perform nonagricultural work of a temporary nature. 

See 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(b). The 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) consults with DOL with respect 

to the H–2B program, and DOL provides 

advice on whether U.S. workers capable 

of performing the temporary services or 

labor are available. See 8 U.S.C. 

1184(c)(1), INA Section 214(c)(1) 

(providing for DHS to consult with 

‘‘appropriate agencies of the 

Government’’). Under DHS regulations, 

an H–2B petition for temporary 

employment must be accompanied by 

an approved temporary labor 

certification from DOL, which serves as 

DOL’s consultative advice to DHS 

regarding whether a qualified U.S. 

worker is available to fill the petitioning 

H–2B employer’s job opportunity and 

whether a foreign worker’s employment 

in the job opportunity will adversely 

affect the wages or working conditions 

of similarly employed U.S. workers. See 

8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(iii)(A), (iv)(A). DHS 

and DOL jointly promulgated 

regulations establishing the processes by 

which an employer must obtain a 

prevailing wage and temporary labor 

certification from DOL, and the rights 

and obligations of workers and 

employers. See 20 CFR 655, Subpart A; 

29 CFR 503; 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(iii)-(iv). 

This ICR, OMB Control No. 1205– 

0509, includes the collection of 

information related to the use of 

employer-provided surveys for 

determining prevailing wages and the 

temporary labor certification process in 

the H–2B program. The Form ETA– 

9165, Employer-Provided Survey 

Attestations to Accompany H–2B 

Prevailing Wage Determination Request 

Based on a Non-OES Survey, is used to 

collect information that permits ETA to 

determine whether an employerprovided survey can be used to establish 

a prevailing wage in the occupational 

classification in lieu of a prevailing 

wage determined using the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics Occupational 

Employment Statistics (OES) program. 

The information contained in the Form 

ETA–9142B, H–2B Application for 

Temporary Employment Certification, 

and corresponding appendices serve as 

the basis for the Secretary’s 

determination that qualified U.S. 

workers are not available to perform the 

services or labor needed by the 

employer and that the wages and 

working conditions of similarly 

employed U.S. workers will not be 

adversely affected by the employment of 

H–2B workers. This determination is 

required before a petition can be 

approved by DHS. Employers use 

Appendix B of the Form ETA–9142B to 

attest that they will comply with all of 

the terms, conditions, and obligations of 

the H–2B program. 

ETA is seeking comments on 

proposed revisions to the Form ETA– 

9142B, H–2B Application for Temporary 

Employment Certification; Form ETA– 

9142B, Appendix B; Form ETA–9165, 

Employer-Provided Survey Attestations 

to Accompany H–2B Prevailing Wage 

Determination Request Based on a NonOES Survey; and the instructions 

accompanying those forms. The 

proposed revisions will better align 

information collection requirements 

with DOL’s current regulatory 

framework, provide greater clarity to 

employers on regulatory requirements, 

standardize and streamline information
