Abstract: State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) are required by Federal regulations at 20 CFR 653.500 to participate in the intrastate and interstate clearance system for the orderly recruitment and movement of agricultural workers. Wagner-Peyser Employment Service (ES) regulations at § 653.501(a), (b), (c) and (d) enumerate the contents of these orders. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) created the Agricultural Clearance Order (Form ETA-790) for the recruitment of workers beyond the local commuting area (20 CFR 653.501). Per 2 CFR 200.334, the record retention for Form ETA-790 is three years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report as authorized by DOL.
