country. We at ITAA and many of our

members have read with great interest your

release of Tuesday October 25, 1994, ‘‘Travel

Agent Trade Association Agrees To End

Anticompetitive Practices’’ as well as the

‘‘Complaint’’ the ‘‘Stipulation’’ the proposed

‘‘Final Judgment’’ and the ‘‘Competitive

Impact Statement’’.

In accordance with the Section V of the

Competitive Impact Statement on behalf of

this association and our members we would

like to register our comments as the Final

Judgment when implemented will have a

great effect upon many, if not all, of our

members.

The Final judgment should be modified as

follows:

1. ARTA should agree not to lobby or foster

legislation in any state that would

discriminate in any way against non-ARTA

travel agencies.

2. ARTA should agree not to use the press

to discriminate against non-ARTA travel

agencies.

3. ARTA should agree not to use the press

to cause suppliers of travel not to want to

work with non-ARTA travel agencies.

Thank you for your time and trouble and

if you have any questions with regard to

these proposed modifications please contact

me directly.

Sincerely,

Alan A. Benjamin

BILLING CODE 4410–01–M

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training

Administration

Notice of Attestations Filed by

Facilities Using Nonimmigrant Aliens

as Registered Nurses

AGENCY: Employment and Training

Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor

(DOL) is publishing, for public

information, a list of the following

health care facilities that have submitted

attestations (Form ETA 9029 and

explanatory statements) to one of four

Regional Offices of DOL (Boston,

Chicago, Dallas and Seattle) for the

purpose of employing nonimmigrant

alien nurses. A decision has been made

on these organizations’ attestations and

they are on file with DOL.

ADDRESSES: Anyone interested in

inspecting or reviewing the employer’s

attestation may do so at the employer’s

place of business.

Attestations and short supporting

explanatory statements are also

available for inspection in the U.S.

Employment Service, Employment and

Training Administration, Department of

Labor, Room N–4456, 200 Constitution

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210.

Any complaints regarding a particular

attestation or a facility’s activities under

that attestation, shall be filed with a

local office of the Wage and Hour

Division of the Employment Standards

Administration, Department of Labor.

The addresses of such offices are found

in many local telephone directories, or

may be obtained by writing to the Wage

and Hour Division, Employment

Standards Administration, Department

of Labor, Room S–3502, 200

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,

DC 20210.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Regarding the Attestation Process

Chief, Division of Foreign Labor

Certifications, U.S. Employment

Service. Telephone: 202–219–5263 (this

is not a toll-free number).

Regarding the Complaint Process

Questions regarding the complaint

process for the H–1A nurse attestation

program will be made to the Chief, Farm

Labor Program, Wage and Hour

Division. Telephone: 202–219–7605

(this is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Immigration and Nationality Act

requires that a health care facility

seeking to use nonimmigrant aliens as

registered nurses first attest to the

Department of Labor (DOL) that it is

taking significant steps to develop,

recruit and retain United States (U.S.)

workers in the nursing profession. The

law also requires that these foreign

nurses will not adversely affect U.S.

nurses and that the foreign nurses will

be treated fairly. The facility’s

attestation must be on file with DOL

before the Immigration and

Naturalization Service will consider the

facility’s H–1A visa petitions for

bringing nonimmigrant registered

nurses to the United States. 26 U.S.C.

1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(a) and 1181(m). The

regulations implementing the nursing

attestation program are at 20 CFR parts

655, subpart D, and 29 CFR part 504

(January 6, 1994). The Employment and

Training Administration, pursuant to 20

CFR 655.310(c), is publishing the

following list of facilities which have

submitted attestations which have been

accepted for filing and those which have

been rejected.

The list of facilities is published so

that U.S. registered nurses, and other

persons and organizations can be aware

of health care facilities that have

requested foreign nurses for their staff.

If U.S. registered nurses or other persons

wish to examine the attestation (on

Form ETA 9029) and the supporting

documentation, the facility is required

to make the attestation and

documentation available. Telephone

numbers of the facilities chief executive

officer also are listed to aid public

inquiries. In addition, attestations and

explanatory statements (but not the full

supporting documentation) are available

for inspection at the address for the

Employment and Training

Administration set forth in the

ADDRESSES section of this notice.

If a person wishes to file a complaint

regarding a particular attestation or a

facility’s activities under the attestation,

such complaint must be filed at the

address for the Wage and Hour Division

of the Employment Standards

Administration set forth in the

ADDRESSES section of this notice.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of

February 1995.

John M. Robinson,

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Employment and

Training Administration.

contained in each application for

exemption and referred interested

persons to the respective applications

for a complete statement of the facts and

representations. The applications have

been available for public inspection at

the Department in Washington, D.C. The

notices also invited interested persons

to submit comments on the requested

exemptions to the Department. In

addition the notices stated that any

interested person might submit a

written request that a public hearing be

held (where appropriate). The

applicants have represented that they

have complied with the requirements of

the notification to interested persons.

No public comments and no requests for

a hearing, unless otherwise stated, were

received by the Department.

The notices of proposed exemption

were issued and the exemptions are

being granted solely by the Department

because, effective December 31, 1978,

section 102 of Reorganization Plan No.

4 of 1978 (43 FR 47713, October 17,

1978) transferred the authority of the

Secretary of the Treasury to issue

exemptions of the type proposed to the

Secretary of Labor.

The restrictions of sections 406(a),

406 (b)(1) and (b)(2) of the Act and the

sanctions resulting from the application

of section 4975 of the Code, by reason

of section 4975(c)(1) (A) through (E) of

the Code, shall not apply to the cash

Written Comments: In the Notice of

Proposed Exemption (the Notice), the

Department invited all interested

persons to submit written comments on

the proposed exemption within fortyfive days from the date of publication of

the Notice in the Federal Register. All

written comments were to have been

received by the Department by January

12, 1995. The Department received two

written comments and no requests for a

hearing.

The first comment was submitted on

behalf of Texas Commerce Bank, N.A.,

the trustee of the Trust (the Trustee).

The Trustee states that Churchill is the

investment manager with respect to the

assets of the Prior Plan Accounts. As

such, the Trustee does not have the sole

investment discretion with respect to

the assets of the Prior Plan Accounts. As

a result, the following changes must be

made to the Notice:

(1) The references to ‘‘the trustee of

the Trust’’ or ‘‘Trustee’’ found in

Condition #5 of the Notice, the entire

second paragraph of Representation #3

and subsection (e) of Representation #7

of the Summary of Facts and

Representations (the Summary) should

be replaced with ‘‘Churchill.’’

(2) The third sentence of

Representation #2 of the Summary is

stricken and replaced with ‘‘Churchill,

as investment manager, has discretion

with respect to the assets of the Prior

Plan Accounts. The Trustee has

investment discretion with respect to all

remaining assets of the Trust.’’

The Department concurs with the

proposed modifications and,

accordingly, amends the language of the

Notice.

The second comment was submitted

on behalf of the applicants. The issues

addressed in the comment and the

Department’s responses are summarized

as follows:

(1) The first sentence of

Representation #1 of the Summary

names the sponsored plan as the

‘‘Sammons Employee Stock Ownership

Plan.’’ The correct name of such plan is

the ‘‘Sammons Enterprises, Inc.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan.’’

(2) The third sentence of the first

paragraph of Representation #3 of the

Summary states that, effective 1991, the

TMIS Plan merged into the Plan. The

correct year of such merger is 1989.

(3) The first sentence of the first

paragraph of Representation #4 of the

Summary states that the Plan has a 14.5

percent Class B interest in Sunbelt City,

Ltd. The correct name of such

partnership is ‘‘Sunbelt Oklahoma City,

Ltd.’’

(4) The first sentence of the third

paragraph of Representation #4 should

be revised as follows: ‘‘Annual

valuations of interests in both

partnerships are furnished to investors

by Churchill Management Corporation

(Churchill), the investment adviser to

the Prior Plan Accounts and for most of
