This Information Collection Request (ICR) is seeking a three-year reinstatement with changes. The proposed burden to respondents associated with this ICR reflect the following changes in the program: (1) elimination of the requirement for respondents to file the attestation form associated with this information collection; and (2) continued retention of the attestation Form ETA-9142-B-CAA – Attestation for Employers Seeking to Employ H-2B Nonimmigrant Workers Under Section 543 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, and all supporting documentation submitted by employers to the Department of Homeland Security.

Changing Regulations
The additional rules related to the H-2B program which were supported by the form expired, so the Department no longer requires the attestation form to be filed. For that reason, the change in burden since the last approval of this ICR is directly related to the proposed elimination of the requirement for employers to file the attestation form with the H-2B petition to the DHS. Employers are required to maintain documents beyond the expiration of the form, so the burden associated with this information collection only reflects the retention of the attestation form that was submitted to the DHS and the required supporting documentation.
