Abstract:
This new ICR is for the ETA Form 9141, Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, which is applicable to the H-2B, H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, and PERM programs previously contained in 1205-0466. On April 8, 2012, OMB approved changes to the 1205-0466 Information Collection Request (ICR) (which contained the ETA Form 9141) in conjunction with recent rulemaking resulting in a final rule published on February 21, 2012 (the 2012 H-2B Final Rule). 77 FR 10038. All comments, documents, and forms related to the information collection approved in conjunction with the 2012 H-2B Final Rule can be found on http://www.reginfo.gov. However, a lawsuit was brought in Federal court in the Northern District of Florida, Pensacola Division, against the Department and an order was issued on April 26, 2012 by the court enjoining the Department from implementing the 2012 H-2B Final Rule. (Bayou Lawn & Landscape Services, et al. v. Hilda L. Solis, et al., 12-cv-00183-RV-CJK.) The Department reverted back to the information collection instruments used in this collection prior to 2012 H-2B Final Rule. The Department received emergency approval to do so from OMB on April 27, 2012 and the ICR now expires on October 31, 2012. The Department sought notice and comment on the further extension of the forms.
