Delegation of the Adjudication of Certain Temporary Agricultural Worker (H-2A) Petitions, Appellate and Revocation Authority for Those Petitions to the Secretary of Labor

Riepilogo

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) is delaying, for the second time, the effective date of a final rule previously published in the Federal Register on July 13, 2000, at 65 FR 43528-43534, which delegated the adjudication of certain petitions for agricultural workers (H-2A) to the United States Department of Labor (DOL). This action is necessary to allow additional time for the DOL to effectively implement the delegation of authority, develop new systems and procedures, and to train and brief members of the effected public and the employment and training community in the new systems and procedures.
