DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Proposed Information Collection Request Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations; Services to Migrant and Seasonal
Farmworkers Report and Employment Service Complaint/Referral Record
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 change on the Employment Service
Complaint Referral Record, ETA 8429.
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 July 7, 1997.
Written comments should evaluate whether the proposed information
collection 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 collection techniques or other forms of
information.
ADDRESSES: Pearl Wah, U.S. Employment Service, Employment and Training

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
As part of the settlement in the case of NAACP v. Secretary of
Labor (Civil Action No. 2010-72, U.S.D.C.), the U.S. Department of
Labor (DOL) negotiated with the plaintiffs a series of regulations
published June 10, 1980. Employment and Training Administration (ETA)
regulations at 20 CFR 651, 653, and 658 under the Wagner-Peyser Act as
amended by the Job Training Partnership Act, set forth the role and
responsibilities of the United States Employment Services (USES) and
the State Employment Service Agencies (SESA) regarding compliance of
said regulations.
In compliance with 20 CFR 653.109, DOL established recordkeeping
requirements to allow for the efficient and effective monitoring of
SESAs regulatory compliance.
The ETA Form 8429, Employment Service Compliant Referral Record, is
used to collect and document all individual complaints filed under the
ES complaint system.
The ETA Form 5148, Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers
Report, is used to collect data which are primarily used to monitor and
to measure the extent and effectiveness of ES services to MSFWS as a
high priority target group for ES services.
