DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration

Comment and Recommendations; Application for Alien Employment
Certification
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a preclearance
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing
collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to
ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the Employment and Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed extension of the information
collection of the Application for Alien Employment Certification, Form
ETA 750, Parts A and B.
A copy of the proposed information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the employee listed below in the contact section
of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before December 29,
1995. Written comments should evaluate whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of

appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
