The information provided on this form
by employers seeking to use alien crewmembers to perform longshore
activities in U.S. ports will permit the Department to meet federal
responsibilities for program administration, management, and
oversight. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is
requesting extension of forms ETA-9033, Attestation by Employers
Using Alien Crewmembers for Longshore Activities in U.S. Ports (OMB
Control Number 1205-0309) and Form ETA-9033A, Attestation by
Employers Using Alien Crewmembers for Longshore Activities in the
State of Alaska (currently under OMB Control Number 1205-0352) used
in the D-1 temporary crewmember certification program, which are
set to expire on October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2014
respectively. Also in this extension request, ETA is proposing to
merge the two collections into 1205-0309 for purposes of efficiency
and clarity for both the Federal Government and the public. Minimal
changes to both forms have been made to enhance the usability of
the information.
US Code:
8 USC
1288 Name of Law: Immigration and Nationality Act
The increase in burden for
1205-0309 is due to the merger of two OMB control numbers into
1205-0309. However, if looking at 1205-0352 alone, there was a
decrease in burden from the time of the previous extension request
in 2011 because of a decrease in use of the D-1 program in U.S.
Ports.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
