Specifically, the Department is revising the methodology for determining the hourly Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) for non-range occupations by using wage data reported for each U.S. state and territory by the Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey. For the vast majority of H-2A job opportunities, the Department will use OEWS survey data to establish AEWRs applicable to five Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes combining the most common field and livestock worker occupations previously measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Farm Labor Survey (FLS), which covered six SOC codes. These AEWRs will be divided into two skill-based categories to account for wage differentials arising from qualifications contained in the employer's job offer. For all other occupations, the Department will use the OEWS survey to determine two skill-based AEWRs for each SOC code to reflect wage differentials. The threshold determination for assigning the SOC code(s) and applicable skill-based AEWR will be based on the duties performed for the majority of the workdays during the contract period and qualifications contained in the employer's job offer. Finally, to address differences in compensation between most U.S. workers and H-2A workers who receive employer-provided housing at no cost, the Department will implement a standard adjustment factor to the AEWR to account for this non-monetary compensation that employers will apply when compensating H-2A workers under temporary agricultural labor certifications.","document_number":"2025-19365","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/10/02/2025-19365/adverse-effect-wage-rate-methodology-for-the-temporary-employment-of-h-2a-nonimmigrants-in-non-range","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-10-02/pdf/2025-19365.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-19365.pdf?1759263310","publication_date":"2025-10-02","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Employment and Training Administration","name":"Employment and Training Administration","id":133,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/employment-and-training-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/133","parent_id":271,"slug":"employment-and-training-administration"}],"excerpts":"presented in an employer's job <span class=\"match\">opportunity</span> <span class=\"match\">require</span> workers to be engaged in field and livestock related work for the majority of the workdays during the contract period and perform other supervisory related duties, the CO and SWA will, absent additional job details that might indicate otherwise, assign one or the five SOC codes comprising field and livestock worker \n \n occupations (combined) that best represents the employer's job <span class=\"match\">opportunity</span> and subject to a single AEWR.\n \n In contrast, an H-2A job <span class=\"match\">opportunity</span> that <span class=\"match\">requires</span> a worker to possess one or"},{"title":"Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA); Interpretation of “Federal Public Benefit”","type":"Notice","abstract":"This notice sets forth the interpretation that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uses for the term \"Federal public benefit\" as used in Title IV of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), Public Law 104-193, 8 U.S.C. 1611.

This action would be in furtherance of Congress' direction in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB Act) to \"complet[e] a system of competitive bidding not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act for not less than 100 megahertz in the band between 3.98 gigahertz and 4.2 gigahertz.\" The NPRM seeks comment on options for reconfiguring the Upper C-band in the contiguous United States ranging from 180 megahertz (3.98-4.16 GHz) to the congressionally mandated minimum of 100 megahertz (3.98-4.08 GHz) for terrestrial wireless use. The NPRM seeks comment on how much Upper C- band spectrum--beyond the minimum 100 megahertz required by the OBBB Act--could be repurposed by incumbent fixed satellite service (FSS) space station operators and on how the transition could be effectuated if their existing customers relocate out of the C-band. Under any of the reconfiguration options under consideration, the NPRM's baseline proposition is to apply the existing 3.7 GHz Service rules (applicable in the Lower C-band from 3.7-3.98 GHz) to any newly authorized terrestrial wireless operations. Any other rules and requirements, including those relating to the transition process, would be modeled to the greatest extent possible on those that applied to the Lower C-band transition. The NPRM also seeks comment on a range of issues associated with repurposing some portion of the Upper C-band, including: reallocation of the 4.0-4.2 GHz band; competitive bidding procedures for an eventual auction; licensing, operating, and technical rules for any new wireless services; (4) transitioning incumbent FSS operations; and promoting co-existence with adjacent band radio altimeters.","document_number":"2025-22020","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22020/in-the-matter-of-upper-c-band-398-42-ghz","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-05/pdf/2025-22020.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22020.pdf?1764855918","publication_date":"2025-12-05","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"Transparency Act, <span class=\"match\">Public</span> Law 118-9, a summary of this document will be available on \n https://www.fcc.gov/proposed-rulemakings. \n \n \n Paperwork Reduction Act. \n This \n NPRM \n may contain proposed new or modified information collections.

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the UCMR program gathers data about unregulated contaminant occurrence in drinking water.
