**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. Background: The informationcollection 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.

Type of Review: Extension. Agency: Employment and Training Administration.

Title: Domestic Agricultural In-Season Wage Report and Wage Survey Interview Record.

OMB Number: 1205–0017. Agency Number(s): ETA Form 232 and ETA Form 232–A.

Recordkeeping: On occasion. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits and States, local, or tribal governments.

Total Respondents: 38,855. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 16,301.

Comments submitted in response to this comment request will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; they will also become a matter of public record.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of March 2010. Jane Oates, Assistant Secretary, Employment and Training Administration.

**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.
