These forms are necessary as part of
federal regulations at 20 CFR Parts 651, 653 and 658 authorized by
the Wagner-Peyser Act, set forth requirements to ensure that
migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs) receive services that are
qualitatively equivalent and quantitatively proportionate to the
services proved to non-MSFWs. ETA 5148 collects data which are
primarily used to monitor and measure the extent and effectiveness
of State Workforce Agencies service delivery to migrant and
seasonal farm workers (MSFWs). ETA 8429 is used to to process
complaints pursuant to 20 CFR 658 Subpart E. A revised definition
of complaint will align with language in section 2 of the
Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended by WIOA Title III section 302, to
refer to “employment service” offices rather than “job service”
offices. The revised definition specifies that complaints are
representations or referrals of alleged violations of employment
service regulations, Federal laws enforced by DOL’s Wage and Hour
Division (WHD) or Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), or Federal, State or local employment-related laws. DOL
adds language in the definition clarifying that the complaints
filed are alleging a violation occurred, rather than confirming
that a complaint represents an actual violation—which may be
determined after the complaint is under investigation pursuant to
658 Subpart F. More specifically, the WIOA Final Rule sections
containing information collections approved under this control
number are: 20 CFR § 653.107, § 653.108(g)(6), § 653.108(s), §
653.108(i), § 653.108(m), § 658.601. These regulations ensure that
SWAs handle complaints appropriately and uniformly. The
Complaint/Apparent Violation Form, ETA- 8429, is used by SWAs to
process complaints.
