Announcement of Public Webinar on the Changes to the Labor 
Certification Process for the Temporary Agricultural Employment of H-2A 
Aliens in the United States

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor.

ACTION: Notice of webinar.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 12, 2010, the Department of Labor (the Department 
or DOL) amended the H-2A regulations at 20 CFR part 655 governing the 
certification of temporary employment of nonimmigrant workers in 
temporary or seasonal agricultural employment. See Temporary 
Agricultural Employment of H-2A Aliens in the United States, Final 
Rule, 75 FR 6884, Feb. 12, 2010 (the Final Rule). The Department's 
Final Rule also amended the regulations at 29 CFR part 501 to provide 
for enhanced enforcement when employers fail to meet their obligations 
under the H-2A program. The Final Rule also made changes to the 
Application for Temporary Employment Certification, ETA Form 9142. All 
H-2A applications filed as of March 15, 2010, the effective date of the 
Final Rule, will be required to comply with the requirements set forth 
in the Final Rule.
    The Department held three public briefings across the country to 
educate stakeholders, program users, and other interested members of 
the public on changes to the H-2A program made by the Final Rule and on 
applying for H-2A temporary labor certifications under the new 
regulations using the ETA Form 9142. The Department is issuing this 
notice to announce that it has scheduled a webinar briefing to educate 
stakeholders, program users, and other interested members of the public 
on applying for H-2A temporary labor certifications under the Final 
Rule, using the ETA Form 9142.
