SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 10, 2025, the Employment and
Training Administration published a 60-day Federal Register notice at
90 FR 43640 for the public to comment on proposed revisions to the ICR
covered under H-2A Temporary Agricultural Labor Certification Program
OMB Control Number 1205-0466 based on changes proposed through the
notice of proposed rulemaking ``Recission of Final Rule: Improving
Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment in the
United States.'' The notice of proposed rulemaking proposed to rescind
provisions of the H-2A final rule published by the Department on April
29, 2024. Due to the government shutdown, the public could not request
copies of all associated forms and materials and review those materials
to inform potential comments on the Federal Register notice because
OFLC staff were not available to provide those documents during a
significant portion of the 60-day comment period, which concluded on
November 10, 2025.
This notice ensures the public has the opportunity to request the
supporting documents with the proposed changes to the ICR covered under
1205-0466, in order to make fully informed comments about the changes
proposed through the Federal Register notice. Therefore, the Department
is reopening the 60-day comment period until January 16, 2026 to allow
the public additional time to request the support documents and provide
comments related to the ICR covered under 1205-0466.
Susan Frazier,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training, Labor.
