Title: Approval of Construction Wage Rates in Guam 
Abstract: This final rule amends the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations affecting the reporting of H-2B construction wage rates in Guam. DHS has determined that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is not the appropriate sub-agency to evaluate prevailing wage rates in Guam and is amending its regulations by removing the agency approval requirements. DHS is amending its regulations by removing the USCIS approval requirements for evaluating prevailing wage rates in Guam. This direct final rule removes USCIS from the process of setting appropriate prevailing wage rates for H-2B construction occupations on Guam. Department of Labor will now determine and evaluate prevailing wage rates for construction occupations on Guam using its current process without additional review or oversight by USCIS.
