Agency Information Collection Activities; Emergency Request To
Reinstate Prior Approved Forms Affecting the H-2A Temporary
Agricultural Labor Certification Program and Agricultural Recruitment
System
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of

ACTION: General notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) will be submitting the following
information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for emergency review and approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). DOL is requesting OMB approve
this emergency revision by September 12.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Reinstatement of Prior Approved Forms Affecting the H-2A
Temporary Agricultural Labor Certification Program and Agricultural
Recruitment System
OMB Number: 1205-0NEW
Abstract: DOL uses Form ETA-9142A and Forms ETA 790/790A to meet
its statutory and regulatory responsibilities for administering the H-
2A program. Similarly, DOL uses Forms ETA 790/790B to administer the
Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS).
Employers seeking to use the H-2A program to employ nonimmigrant
workers to perform agricultural services or labor on a temporary or
seasonal basis must submit a completed agricultural clearance order
(Forms ETA790/790A) and Application for Temporary Employment
Certification (Form ETA 9142A) electronically through the Office of
Foreign Labor Certification's Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG)
system. Employers seeking to employ U.S. workers through the ARS
intrastate and interstate job clearance system must submit a completed
agricultural clearance order (Forms ETA 790/790B) to the applicable
State Workforce Agency.
The emergency PRA clearance requested will allow DOL to utilize
prior approved Forms ETA 790, 790A, 790B, and 9142A, which is necessary
to ensure continuity in administering the H-2A program and the ARS
nationwide. Within the 6-month period following emergency approval, DOL
will seek public comment on the information collection package as
provided under 5 CFR part 1320 and the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Jos[eacute] Javier Rodr[iacute]guez,
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training, Labor.
