SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL collects information through Form ETA-
9142C, and appendices, and Form ETA-9141C, to carry out the
responsibilities created for DOL under the Northern Mariana Islands
U.S. Workforce Act of 2018. The Workforce Act provides that a petition
to employ a nonimmigrant worker under the CW-1 visa classification may
not be approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security unless the
employer has received a temporary labor certification from DOL
confirming the following: (1) There are not sufficient U.S. workers in
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) who are able,
willing, qualified, and available at the time and place needed to
perform the services or labor involved in the petition; and (2) the
employment of a nonimmigrant worker who is the subject of a petition
will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly
employed U.S. workers.

related notice published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2021 (86 FR

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
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
