Instructions: Submit written

of, this ICR by email: ETA.OFLC.Forms@

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brian Pasternak, Administrator, Office 

of Foreign Labor Certification, by 

telephone at (202) 693–8200 (this is not 

a toll-free number) or by email 

ETA.OFLC.Forms@dol.gov. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, in 

its continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to OMB for final 

approval. This program ensures the 

public provides all necessary data in the 

desired format, the reporting burden 

(time and financial resources) is 

minimized, collection instruments are 

clearly understood, and the impact of 

collection requirements can be properly 

assessed. The information collection is 

required by secs. 101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a), 

214(c), and 218 of the Immigration and 

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

1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a), 1184(c), and 1188), 

as well as 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5) and 20 CFR 

part 655, subpart B. The H–2A visa 

program enables employers to bring 

nonimmigrant foreign workers to the 

United States to perform agricultural 

work of a seasonal or temporary nature 

as defined in 8 U.S.C. 

1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a). Before an employer 

can file a petition with the Department 

of Homeland Security (DHS) to employ 

temporary workers as H–2A 

nonimmigrants, the INA and DHS 

regulations require an employer to first 

obtain a determination from DOL 

certifying whether a qualified U.S. 

worker is available to fill the job 

opportunity described in the employer’s 

petition for a temporary agricultural 

worker 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. 8 U.S.C. 1188, INA sec. 218; 8 

CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i), (ii), and (iv)(B). 

DOL’s regulations establish the 

processes by which an employer must 

obtain a temporary labor certification 

from DOL and the rights and obligations 

of workers and employers. 20 CFR part 

655, subpart B. 

This ICR, OMB Control No. 1205– 

0466, includes the collection of 

information related to the temporary 

labor certification process and 

agricultural clearance order process in 

the H–2A program. The information 

contained in the application Form ETA– 

9142A, H–2A Application for 

Temporary Employment Certification, 

and job order Form ETA–790/790A, H– 

2A Agricultural Clearance Order, 

together serve as the basis for the 

Secretary of Labor’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–2A workers. Employers use 

Appendix A of Form ETA–9142A to 

attest that they will comply with all of 

the terms, conditions, and obligations of 

the H–2A program. ETA is seeking a 

three-year extension, without change, 

for each of these forms. 

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 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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB control number 1205– 

0466. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. DOL encourages commenters 

not to include personally identifiable 

information, confidential business data, 

or other sensitive statements/ 

information in any comments. 

DOL 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 submissions 

of responses).
