Announcement of Public Webinar on the Changes to the Labor
Certification Process for the Temporary Agricultural Employment of H-2A
Aliens in the United States
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice of webinar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 12, 2010, the Department of Labor (the Department
or DOL) amended the H-2A regulations at 20 CFR part 655 governing the
certification of temporary employment of nonimmigrant workers in
temporary or seasonal agricultural employment. See Temporary
Agricultural Employment of H-2A Aliens in the United States, Final
Rule, 75 FR 6884, Feb. 12, 2010 (the Final Rule). The Department's
Final Rule also amended the regulations at 29 CFR part 501 to provide
for enhanced enforcement when employers fail to meet their obligations
under the H-2A program. The Final Rule also made changes to the
Application for Temporary Employment Certification, ETA Form 9142. All
H-2A applications filed as of March 15, 2010, the effective date of the
Final Rule, will be required to comply with the requirements set forth
in the Final Rule.
The Department held three public briefings across the country to
educate stakeholders, program users, and other interested members of
the public on changes to the H-2A program made by the Final Rule and on
applying for H-2A temporary labor certifications under the new
regulations using the ETA Form 9142. The Department is issuing this
notice to announce that it has scheduled a webinar briefing to educate
stakeholders, program users, and other interested members of the public
on applying for H-2A temporary labor certifications under the Final
Rule, using the ETA Form 9142.
