ACTION: Notice of OMB approval of information collection requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces that the Office of Management and Budget 
has approved the information collections under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act. The information collections are in effect.

DATES: On April 29, 2015, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approved the Department of Labor's emergency information collection 
requests under the PRA for requirements in 20 CFR part 655, subpart A, 
as published in the Federal Register on April 29, 2015 at 80 FR 24042 
and 80 FR 24146. The information collections in the interim final rule 
Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment of H-2B Aliens in the United 
States were approved under OMB control number 1205-0509, which contains 
the forms ETA-9142B, H-2B Application for Temporary Employment 
Certification, Appendix B, Seafood Industry Attestation; and ETA-9155, 
H-2B Registration. The current expiration date for OMB authorization 
for this information collection is October 31, 2015.
    The new information collection in the final rule Wage Methodology 
for the Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment H-2B Program was approved 
under OMB control number 1205-0516, which contains Form ETA-9165, 
Employer-Provided Survey Attestations to Accompany H-2B Prevailing Wage 
Determination Request Based on a Non-OES Survey. The current expiration 
date for OMB authorization for this information collection is October 
31, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Written comments regarding the burden-hour estimates or 
other aspects of the information collection requirements contained in 
20 CFR part 655, subpart A may be submitted to: William W. Thompson, 
II, Acting Administrator, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, Room 
C-4312, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington DC 20210.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Pasternak, National Director of 
Temporary Programs, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, Room C-4312, 
Employment & Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210. Telephone number: 202-
693-3010 (this is not a toll-free number). Individuals with hearing or 
speech impairments may access the telephone number above via TTY by 
calling the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at 1-877-889-
5627 (TTY/TDD).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB has approved the information collection 
requirements under the PRA contained in two recently revised final 
regulations in the H-2B Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment Programs 
published by the Department of Labor in the Federal Register on April 
29, 2015 at 80 FR 24042 and 80 FR 24146. The preamble to the new 
regulations stated an effective date of April 29, 2015; however, the 
regulations were published without specific information about the exact 
expiration dates or the new control number for the ETA-9165. An agency 
may not conduct an information collection unless it has a currently 
valid OMB approval. 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(1)(B)(iii)(V). OMB issued a 
formal Notice of Approval on April 29, 2015 after the rules had already 
been placed on the Federal Register's Electronic Public Inspection Desk 
and could not be edited to include the OMB control number and exact 
expiration dates. This is a notice to the public to inform it of the 
approval of the forms and information collections on the effective date 
of the rules and to provide the OMB control numbers and expiration 
dates. The expiration date for OMB authorization for both OMB control 
numbers 1205-0509 and 1205-0516 and the information collections found 
therein is October 31, 2015. Because the information collections were 
approved under PRA emergency procedures codified in 5 CFR 1320.13, the 
Department will be publishing Notices in the Federal Register that 
invite public comment on the collection requirements as required under 
5 CFR 1320.8 in anticipation of extending the information collection 
requests.
