    Cross Reference: Federal Register of Tuesday, December 20, 1994.
    Description: As noted in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the 
public reporting burden for this collection of information is expected 
to increase, based upon the Department's operating experience, from an 
average of one hour per response to one and one-quarter hours per 
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching 
existing information/data sources, gathering and maintaining the 
information/data needed, and preparing the application. The reporting 
burden is expected to increase due to the proposed requirement that 
employers provide notice to H-1B nonimmigrants of the terms and 
conditions of employment. The employer will be required to attest that 
it has provided, or will provide, to each H-1B nonimmigrant a copy of 
the Labor Condition Application (LCA) under which they are employed no 
later than the date the H-1B nonimmigrant reports to work at the place 
of employment. This is the only amendment contained in the final rule 
which is expected to increase the reporting burden per response.
    Further, at the request of a number of commenters, boxes have been 
added to Item 7(e), ``Prevailing Wage Rate and Its Source.'' If the 
employer is relying on a prevailing wage determination obtained from a 
State Employment Security Agency (SESA), the employer will only be 
required to specify the rate and check the box marked ``SESA,'' as 
opposed to writing the name of the agency. If the employer utilized 
some other source to determine the prevailing wage, the employer must 
specify the rate, check the box marked ``Other,'' and specify such 
other source.
Kenneth A. Mills,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
