subject line: ETA Form 232. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The information 

collection is required by the WagnerPeyser Act codified at 20 CFR part 653, 

which cover the requirements for the 

acceptance and handling of intrastate 

and interstate job clearance orders 

seeking workers to perform agricultural 

or food processing work on a less than 

year round basis. Section 653.501 states, 

in pertinent part, that employers must 

assure that the ‘‘wages and working 

conditions are not less than the 

prevailing wages and working 

conditions among similarly employed 

agricultural workers in the area of 

intended employment or the applicable 

Federal or State minimum wage, 

whichever is higher.’’ Also, regulations 

for the temporary employment of alien 

agricultural workers in the United 

States, (20 CFR, part 655, subpart B) 

promulgated under section 218 of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) 

as amended, require employers to pay 

the workers ‘‘at least the adverse effect 

wage rate in effect at the time the work 

is performed, the prevailing hourly 

wage rate, or the legal federal or State 

minimum wage rate, whichever is 

highest.’’ The vehicle for establishing 

the prevailing wage rate is ETA Form 

232, The Domestic Agricultural InSeason Wage Report. This Report 

contains the prevailing wage finding 

based on data collected by the States 

from employers in a specific crop area 

using the ETA Form 232–A. 

II. Review Focus: The Department of 

Labor is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

• 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 wage rates for various crop 

activities.

apply for adjustment assistance was 

issued for all workers of FCI USA, Inc.,

from employment on or after September 

28, 2007 through February 21, 2010. The 

notice was published in the Federal

In order to avoid an overlap in worker 

group coverage, the Department is 

amending the December 22, 2008 

impact date established for TA–W– 

73,157, to read February 22, 2010. 

The amended notice applicable to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Apprenticeship Act of 1937 

authorizes the U.S. Department of Labor 

to formulate and promote the 

furtherance of labor standards necessary 

to safeguard the welfare of apprentices. 

29 U.S.C. 50. The responsibility for 

formulating and promoting these labor 

standards lies with OA. As part of its 

duties, OA registers apprenticeship 

programs that meet certain minimum 

labor standards. Those standards, set 

forth at 29 CFR parts 29 and 30, are 

intended to provide for more uniform 

training of apprentices and to promote 

equal opportunity. In October 2008, OA 

published newly amended part 29 

regulations, which set forth labor 

standards to safeguard the welfare of 

apprentices by prescribing policies and 

procedures concerning (1) the 

registration, cancellation, and 

deregistration of apprenticeship 

programs and agreements; (2) the 

recognition of State Apprenticeship 

Agencies; and (3) matters relating 

thereto (73 FR 64402, Oct. 29, 2008). 

These regulations can be accessed on 

OA’s Web site at http://www.doleta.gov/ 

oa/pdf/FinalRule29CFRPart29.pdf. 

DOL is now in the process of drafting 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) to update and strengthen the 

equal employment opportunity (EEO) 

requirements under the part 30 

regulations, which were last amended in 

1978, and to ensure that the regulations 

align with the recent revisions to the 

part 29 regulations, as announced in the 

Department’s Semiannual Agenda Of 

Regulations (74 FR 4, Dec. 7, 2009). The 

current EEO requirements under the 

part 30 regulations can be accessed on 

the Department’s Web site at http://

www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/Title_29/

Part_30/toc.htm 

As part of the rulemaking process, OA 

will be reviewing barriers to equal 

opportunity in registered apprenticeship 

programs and will be looking at ways to 

ensure that all individuals, including 

women and minorities, have equal 

opportunities in registered 

apprenticeship programs. Revisions to 

the equal opportunity regulatory 

framework for the National 

Apprenticeship Act are a critical 

element in the Department’s vision to 

promote and expand registered 

apprenticeship opportunities in the 21st 

century while continuing to safeguard 

the welfare and safety of apprentices. 

The purpose of the upcoming town 

hall meetings is to listen to 

stakeholders’ concerns and ideas about 

the part 30 regulations and to explain 

how stakeholders can participate in the 

impending official rulemaking process. 

To help inform the development of 

the NPRM, DOL is interested in 

receiving feedback from stakeholders on 

the effectiveness of the current 

apprenticeship EEO regulations and 

suggestions and recommendations for 

revising the regulations. DOL is 

particularly interested in the following: 

• Sponsors’ employment practices 

that have been particularly effective in 

recruiting women and minorities for 

registered apprenticeship programs, 

such as through pre-apprenticeship 

programs and partnerships with 

vocational schools; 

• Effective outreach and recruitment 

strategies to notify the public about 

registered apprenticeship opportunities; 

• Sponsors’ employment practices, 

such as mentoring and support groups, 

that have been particularly effective 

strategies in retaining women and 

minorities in registered apprenticeship 

programs; 

• The methods sponsors use for 

selecting registered apprentices; and 

• Sponsors’ experiences with the use 

of private review bodies for receiving 

and processing complaints. 

Each attendee is welcome to offer 

feedback and suggestions, but meeting 

participants are not expected to prepare 

and present formal testimony. 

Participants presenting oral statements 

will be heard in the order in which they 

sign up on-site on the day of the town 

hall meeting. 

Public Participation 

All interested parties are invited to 

attend the town hall meetings. For the 

March 18, March 23, and March 25 

meetings, DOL requests that you submit 

no later than three business days prior,

wish to participate or observe a town 

hall meeting. You may submit your
