This information collection permits
DOL to meet its statutory responsibilities for program
administration, management, and oversight under the Immigration and
Naturalization Act. The Form ETA 750, part A, collects information
needed for the professional athlete labor certification program for
both temporary and permanent athletes. The H-2B program establishes
a means for employers to bring nonimmigrant aliens to the U.S. to
perform nonagricultural work of a temporary or seasonal nature as
defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1101 (a)(15)(H)(ii)(b) and explained in 8 CFR
§ 214.2(h)(6). Professional athletes are included in the H-2B
program. The Form ETA 750 Part B is collects information about the
professional athlete on whose behalf an application for permanent
labor certification is filed. Part B is also required by the DHS
for aliens applying for the National Interest Waiver (NIW) of the
job offer requirement. Part B provides detailed information about
an alien's education and work history as required and explained in
8 CFR § 204.5(k)(4)(ii).

The annual burden for these
information collections decreased from 56,426 to 3,696 hours
resulting in a decrease of 36,600 responses, 52,730 hours, and
$1,111,091 over ETA's previous estimate. This change is due to new
regulations by the Department for its temporary labor certification
programs, which now use ETA Form 9142 (OMB 1205-0466). The ETA Form
750 parts A and B are used for certifications for professional
athletes at the Department of Labor and the NIW program at USCIS.
The burden for the programs that use the forms has been accounted
for above and the decreased burden due to the temporary labor
certification programs has been shifted to the information
collection under that control number.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
