State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) are required by Federal regulations at 20 CFR 653.500 to participate in the intrastate and interstate clearance system for the orderly recruitment and movement of agricultural workers. Regulations 653.501(a), (b), (c) and (d) enumerate the contents of these orders. As required by Federal regulations, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) created the Agricultural Clearance Order (ETA Form 790) for the recruitment of workers beyond the local commuting area (20 CFR 653.501). In order to participate in the temporary alien agricultural worker (H-2A) program, employers are required to submit to the SWA a job order (ETA Form 790) in the area of intended employment between 60 and 75 days before the date of need for workers.
US Code:
44 USC 3501
Name of Law: The Wagner Peyser Act
This ICR requests a change of responses per year, from 9,356 to 3,600, because most of the 790s and 790As are completed by employers participating in the H-2A program, and the responses to those forms are covered under OMB Control # 1205-0466.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
