(DHS). The regulatory requirements are
codified at 8 CFR part 214 and 20 CFR
part 655. The ICR originally included a
form, Attestation for Employers Seeking
to Employ H–2B Nonimmigrant Workers
under Section 105 of Division O of the
Further Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2021, Form ETA–9142–B–CAA–4
(Form ETA–9142–B–CAA–4). The Form
ETA–9142–B–CAA–4 is no longer in use
as the supplemental cap was reached on
August 13, 2021, as announced by DHS
on August 19, 2021; thus employers no
longer need to complete the attestation
for submission to DHS. As a result, the
only remaining requirement for
participating H–2B employers is to
comply with record keeping
requirements. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on May 25, 2021 (86 FR 28198).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
