The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111Â84, enacted October 28, 2009) requires an expanded effort to recruit U.S. and other eligible workers for employment on Guam military base realignment construction projects. This reporting structure features electronic posting of construction job opportunities on an Internet job banks site with national coverage, posting job opportunities on several state workforce agency job banks, and documentation of worker recruitment results reports that will be submitted to the Guam Department of Labor (GDOL). All data collection and reporting will be done by military base construction contractors, and the data and recruitment results in a report that will be submitted to the GDOL. These recruitment requirements help fulfill the responsibilities assigned to the Secretary of Labor in the provisions of the NDAA of 2010 and increase employment opportunities for U.S. construction workers.
US Code:
10 USC 2687 note
Name of Law: Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009
These program changes require contractors to make job postings related to the Guam Military Base Realignment available to U.S. workers nationally. The provisions being replaced require contractors to recruit in only five U.S. states along the west coast (Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, and California) as well as Guam and the American Samoa. The new provisions leverage electronic tools, including www.hireguam.com and the National Labor Exchange to offer these job opportunities to U.S. workers from anywhere in the country. The burden has been significantly reduced, requiring contractors to utilize fewer job banks.
The burden analysis has been updated to anticipate 78 respondents (the number of anticipated job orders) as opposed to 25 due to an increasing need for workers related to base construction and realignment. The total annual responses have been reduced from 999 to 78. The original 999 estimate referred to the number of applicants per job post, which the Department now believes this is an overstated measure and resulted in an understatement of the per response burden, as some activities were amortized over more transactions. The number 78 accurately refers to the number of reports that contractors are expected to submit, one per job order (78). Finally, the response has been updated from 20 minutes to 90 minutes. This updated response considers the two job postings (15 minutes per post) and the time needed to develop the report required by the recruitment standards and this ICR (60 minutes). The total burden hours for this ICR have been reduced from an anticipated 333 to 117 due to use of www.hireguam.com and the National Labor Exchange, which significantly reduces the number of job banks that contractors must post jobs to.
