    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 1
    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor have issued a rule to expand the discretionary review authority of the Secretary of Labor to include certain H-2B temporary labor certification cases. This rule allows the Secretary to review cases that are pending before or have been decided by the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA). The rule is part of a broader effort to ensure that internal processes are properly supervised by the Secretary and is expected to be used mainly for cases of notable importance. Public comments are encouraged, but significant adverse comments could halt the rule's implementation.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making a new rule that lets a big boss named the Secretary of Labor look at special work cases for people from other countries. It's like giving them a chance to double-check and make sure important decisions are being made fairly and carefully.

    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor have jointly proposed a new rule seeking public input on extending the Secretary of Labor's review system to specific temporary labor certification cases. This rule will allow the Secretary of Labor to review decisions related to H-2B temporary labor certifications made by the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals and the Department of Labor's Administrative Review Board. The proposal includes updates to existing regulations and aims to maintain efficient handling of cases without notable disruption. The departments are encouraging public comments on this proposed rule to ensure informed decision-making.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to change how certain work permission decisions (like letting helpers come to the U.S. for temporary jobs) are checked. They are asking people what they think about letting a big boss have more say in these decisions to make sure everything is fair.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 7927
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor have decided to withdraw a rule that was published on January 4, 2021, regarding H-2B temporary labor certification cases. This decision was made because they received a significant adverse comment during the public comment period. The rule aimed to extend the Department of Labor's system for reviewing these cases, but it will no longer take effect. Any future changes or rules may consider the feedback received from the public.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided not to change the rules about how they review certain worker permissions because people didn't like the idea, and they want to think it over more carefully.
