DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Proposed Information Collection Request Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations; Forms for Agricultural Recruitment System
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 (ETA) is
soliciting comments concerning the proposed reinstatement, without
change, collection of the Agricultural and Food Processing Clearance
Order, Form ETA-790, Agricultural and Food Processing Clearance
Memorandum, Form ETA-795, Migrant Worker Itinerary, Form ETA-785, and
Job Service Manifest Record, Form ETA-785A.
A copy of the proposed information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the employee or office listed below in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before August 10, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Rogelio Valdez, U.S. Employment Service, Employment and
Training Administration, Department of Labor, Room N-4470, 200
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210, 202-219-5257,
extension 167 (this is not a toll-free number) and, Internet address:
rvaldez@doleta.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Migrant and Seasonal Farm worker regulations at 20 CFR 653.500
established procedures for agricultural clearance to all local offices
to use the interstate clearance forms as prescribed by ETA. Local and
State Employment offices use the Agricultural and Food Processing
Clearance Order to extend job orders beyond their jurisdictions.
Applicant holding local offices use the Agricultural Clearance
Memorandum to give notice of action on a clearance order, request
additional information, report results, and to accept or reject the
extended job order. State agencies use the Migrant Worker Itinerary to
transmit employment and supportive service information to labor-demand
areas, and to assist migrant workers in obtaining employment. The Job
Service Manifest Record shows names, addresses, and characteristics of
all people named on the Migrant Worker Itinerary.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments
which:
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 collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
III. Current Action
This is a request for OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) of a reinstatement, without
change, to an existing collection of information previously approved
