Attestations by Employers Using Alien Crewmembers for Longshore Activities in U.S. Ports

概要

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Department of Labor, in carrying out its responsibilities under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35, 5 CFR part 1320 (53 FR 16618, May 10, 1988)), is submitting an information collection clearance package to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The information collection is required due to amendments to section 258 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.) (INA). The amendments created an Alaska exception to the general prohibition on the performance of longshore work by alien crewmembers in U.S. ports. Under the Alaska exception, before any employer may use alien crewmembers to perform longshore work in the State of Alaska, it must submit an attestation to ETA containing the elements prescribed by the INA.
