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

Özet

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and the Employment Standards Administration (ESA) of the Department of Labor (DOL or Department) are promulgating regulations to implement amendments to existing regulations governing the filing and enforcement of attestations by employers seeking to use alien crewmembers to perform longshore work in the U.S. The amendments relate to employers' use of alien crewmembers to perform longshore work at locations in the State of Alaska. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act employers, in certain circumstances, are required to submit these attestations to DOL in order to be allowed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to use alien crewmembers to perform specified longshore activities at locations in the State of Alaska. The attestation process is administered by ETA, while complaints and investigations regarding the attestations are handled by ESA.
