Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 03/15/1989
Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA)	Date Received in OIRA: 01/03/1989
Terms of Clearance: We have approved the continued use of the existing survey form and handbook through 12/31/89. We understand that the Department is revising the form and the handbook in response to the expansion of the H-2A program and the concerns of the General Accounting Office included in the report, "The H-2A Program: Protections for U.S. Workers," published in October 1988. The GAO report is included in this paperwork record. We also understand that these revisions will be completed and submitted for OMB review by October 1, 1989, in order to allow the public a full 90 days to comment. Hence, we expect the revised forms to become effective on January 1, 1990. Also, the disclosure statement required by 5 CFR 1320.21 should be revised to conform with the OMB guidance earlier transmitted to DOL.
