SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Sec.  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. For additional substantive information about this 
ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on April 
10, 2023 (88 FRN 21209).
    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.
