SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Foreign labor certification programs 

administered by the Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA) of the 

Department of Labor (DOL or 

Department) require State Workforce 

Agencies (SWAs) to initially process 

applications for temporary labor 

certifications (H–2A and H–2B) filed by 

U.S. employers on behalf of foreign 

workers seeking to be employed in the 

U.S. SWAs are also responsible for 

issuing prevailing wage determinations, 

reviewing employer-provided wage 

surveys or other source data, conducting 

housing inspections of facilities offered 

to migrant and seasonal workers, and 

conducting and monitoring recruitment 

activities seeking qualified U.S. workers 

for the temporary jobs employers are 

attempting to fill with foreign workers. 

The SWAs perform these functions 

under a reimbursable grant that is 

awarded annually. The information 

pertaining to these functions is 

proposed to be collected on the Form 

ETA 9127 and will be used by 

Departmental staff to manage foreign 

(alien) labor certification programs in 

the SWAs. The Department will use the 

data collected to: (1) Monitor the 

number of temporary applications that 

are received, processed, and forwarded 

to the national processing centers; (2) 

determine the number of prevailing 

wage determinations issued to 

employers under the permanent and 

temporary labor certification programs, 

as well as the H–1B program for 

nonimmigrant professionals in specialty 

occupations; and (3) track the number of 

agricultural prevailing wage and 

practice surveys conducted, housing 

inspections made, and job orders filed. 

The information on workload will be 

used for formulating budget estimates 

for both state and Federal workloads, 

and for monitoring a state’s performance 

against the grant statement of work and 

work plan. Without such information, 

the budget workload figures will be 

estimates and the allocation of funding 

to the SWAs will not reflect the true 

workload in a state. 

II. Review Focus 

Currently, the Department is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

collection of information on the Foreign 

Labor Certification Quarterly Activity 

Report. 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection 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 collections techniques or 

other forms of information, e.g., 

permitting electronic submissions of 

responses. 

A copy of the proposed ICR can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

above in the addressee section of this 

notice. 

III. Current Actions 

In order for the Department to meet its 

statutory responsibilities under the 

Immigration and Nationality Act, there 

is a need for a new collection of 

information pertaining to the SWAs 

changing role in the program. There is 

an increase in burden due to a change 

in the frequency of the report.
