ETA Rescinds TEGL No. 11-07, Change 1
August 31, 2009 – 10:18 am
The Department of Labor’s (DOL’s), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) Assistant Secretary Jane Oates issued a memo to rescind the Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 11-07, Change 1. On December 18, 2008, the DOL published a new regulation re-engineering the H-2A temporary agricultural workers program. The publication of the regulation made much of the TEGL either redundant to the regulation or unnecessary. Therefore, the DOL is rescinding TEGL 11-07, Change 1 in order to prevent any confusion on the part of the National Processing Centers (NPCs) and State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) on procedures related to the H-2A program. This guidance applies to all H-2A labor certification applications pending with or received by the NPC and SWA on or after the date this TEGL is issued. The memo further directed the NPC Directors and SWA Administrators to provide NPC, SWA and other State staff involved in the processing of H-2A applications with a copy of these procedures. For further clarifications, SWA staff can address their questions to the Office of Foreign Labor Certification at (202) 693-3010.
