Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The annual burden for these information collections decreased from 3,696 to 3,692 hours resulting in an overall decrease of 4 hours over ETA's previous estimate. The decrease is due to the H-2B program, which used to require the ETA-750 for the temporary admission of professional athletes, now uses a different form, namely the ETA Form 9142B (OMB control number 1205-0509). Consequently the H-2B IC has been removed from the database. The Department is also correcting an inadvertent error in the annual cost burden in earlier submissions under this control number. Those earlier requests erroneously included the monetized value of respondents' time as an operations cost, and that has been removed. The Department is also correcting inadvertent errors in how burden was allocated between the various information collections within the database, to the extent possible.
