summary: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent burden conduct 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 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 listed below in the contact section
of this notice.
dates: Written comments must be submitted on or before October 27,
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
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker regulations at 20 CFR 653.500
established procedures for agricultural clearance to all local offices

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 name on the Migrant Worker Itinerary.
