PRODUCTION TOOL CORPORATION AND MANUEL AGUILAR, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE; KENALL MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND BLANCA FABIAN, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS, V. EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE
Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 78 C 2499 -- John F. Grady, Judge, No. 79-C-1033 -- Julius J. Hoffman, Judge.
Production Tool Corp. and Kenall Manufacturing Co. appeal from separate orders affirming final decisions of the United States Department of Labor denying their applications for permanent alien labor certifications as provided for by the Immigration and Nationality Act, § 212(a) (4), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a) (14) (as amended), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, 20 C.F.R. Pt. 656 (1980). Appellants challenge the validity and application of those regulations. For the following reasons, we affirm.

Id. § 656.21(b) (9). The regulations require the certifying officer, in judging whether a United States worker is "willing" to take the job opportunity, to examine the results of the employer's recruitment efforts and to "determine if there are other appropriate sources of workers where the employer should have recruited or might be able to recruit U.S. workers." Id. § 656.24(b) (2) (i). Failure by the employer to comply with the application procedures constitutes a separate ground for denying certification. Id. § 656.24(b) (1).
If the certifying officer determines that the applicant has not met the requirements of 20 C.F.R. § 656.21 or that there is a United States worker who is "able, willing, qualified, and available" for the job, the officer issues a Notice of Findings setting forth the specific basis for the decision. Id. § 656.25. The employer or the alien may then submit rebuttal evidence, which the certifying officer must review. A final determination to grant or deny is then made, and ...
