SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background. The Wagner-Peyser 

Act, as amended, provides that the State 

Workforce Agencies throughout the 

country shall assist the Office of Foreign 

Labor Certification in promoting 

uniformity in its administrative and 

Statistical procedures, furnishing and 

publishing information as to 

opportunities for employment and other 

information of value in the operation of 

its system, and maintaining a system for 

clearing labor between the states. 

Pursuant to the Wagner-Peyser Act, 

the U.S. Department of Labor has 

established regulations at 20 CFR 

653.500 covering the processing of 

agricultural intrastate and interstate job 

orders. Section 563.501 provides that 

the wage offered by employers must not 

be less than the prevailing wage or the 

applicable Federal or state minimum 

wage; whichever is higher. Also, the 

regulations for the temporary 

employment of H–2A alien agricultural 

and H–2 logging workers in the United 

States, 20 CFR, Part 655, Subpart B and 

C implementing relevant sections of the 

Immigration Reform and Control Act of 

1986, requires farmers and other 

agricultural employers to pay workers 

the adverse effect wage rate, the 

prevailing wage rate, or the legal Federal 

or State minimum wage rate; whichever 

is highest. 

The prevailing wage rate is used to 

implement these regulations covering 

intrastate and interstate recruitment of 

farmworkers. The vehicle for 

establishing the prevailing wage rate is 

Form ETA–232, The Domestic 

Agricultural In-Season Wage Report, 

and Form ETA–232–A, Wage Survey 

Interview Record. The ETA–232 Report 

contains the prevailing wage finding 

based on survey data collected from 

employers and reported by the States on 

Form ETA–232–A. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments. 

Currently, the Employment and 

Training Administration is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

request to extend the expiration date of 

the collection request to: 

• 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;
