In early October, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA)
issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to change the process by which
nonimmigrant workers in temporary or seasonal non-agricultural
employment are authorized to work in the U.S. In addition, this
proposed rule would change the ways that regulations are enforced to
employers of such workers.
As part of this proposed rule, ETA has allowed for a comment period for
the text of the rule up to November 4, 2010. However, the agency
received a number of requests to extend this comment period and has
fulfilled these requests. The comment period for this proposed rule
will now be open an additional 8 days, to November 12, 2010
