DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of the Secretary of Labor 

Notice of Intent To Issue Declaratory 

Order 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Labor, 

Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to issue 

declaratory order; request for comment; 

extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: On December 17, 2014, the 

Office of the Secretary of Labor 

published a Federal Register notice of 

intent to issue declaratory order and 

request for comment (‘‘Notice’’). This 

Notice (79 FR 75179) states the 

Secretary of Labor (‘‘Secretary’’) is 

considering issuing on his own motion 

a declaratory order confirming that he 

has exclusive authority to make legal 

and policy determinations based on his 

statutory and regulatory authority to 

administer and enforce the H–2B 

temporary labor certification program. 

Such a declaratory order would remove 

uncertainty about that authority created 

by a decision of the Board of Alien 

Labor Certification Appeals in Island 

Holdings LLC, 2013–PWD–00002 

(BALCA Dec. 3, 2013) (en banc). This 

Notice was issued pursuant to the 

authority granted in the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 554(e), to 

issue declaratory orders ‘‘to terminate a 

controversy or remove uncertainty.’’ 

This document extends the comment 

period for the Notice for fifteen (15) 

days. If you have already submitted 

comments in response to the Notice, 

you do not need to resubmit your 

comment. The Department will consider 

all comments received from the date of 

publication of the Notice through the 

close of the extended comment period. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

Notice published on December 17, 2014 

(79 FR 75179), scheduled to close on 

January 16, 2015, is extended until 

February 2, 2015.

Several organizations and an 

individual submitted requests to extend

determined that it is appropriate to 

provide an additional 15-day period for 

comment on the Notice. We are, 

therefore, extending the comment 

period until Monday, February 2, 2015. 

Extension of Comment Period 

The Department determined that the 

public could use additional time to 

review the administrative record for this 

adjudicatory proceeding and to prepare 

comment in the nature of legal briefing 

related to the proposed legal 

determinations stated in the Notice. 

Therefore, to allow the public sufficient 

time to review and comment on the 

Notice, the Department is extending the 

comment period until February 2, 2015. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of 

January, 2015.
