Abstract:
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.
