SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection is required by
Sections 101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a), 214(c), and 218 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA) and regulations under 20 CFR 655.210. The H-2A
temporary labor certification program enables employers to bring
nonimmigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural work
of a temporary or seasonal nature, as defined in the INA. The INA
requires the Secretary of Labor to certify that the temporary
employment of foreign workers in job opportunities in herding and
production of livestock on the range will not adversely affect the
wages and working conditions of workers in the U.S. similarly employed.
The Department must request information from employers seeking to hire
foreign labor in order to meet its statutory responsibilities under the
INA. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2021
(86 FR 63069).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
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
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
