SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On December 4, 2009 the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) published in the Federal Register a Notice informing the public that the processing of all prevailing wage determination (PWD) requests for the above-referenced labor certification programs will be centralized in OFLC's National Prevailing Wage and Helpdesk Center (NPWHC) in Washington, DC. 74 FR 63796, Dec. 4, 2009. The NPWHC receives and processes PWD requests in accordance with the applicable regulations and Department guidance.

The purpose of this Notice is to inform the public about a minor technical correction to the address for the NPWHC. Since the Department published the Notice on December 4th the four digit extension to the postal code has been revised by the U.S. Postal Service. Though the Department believes that it has received all mailings submitted to the addresses listed within this Notice, the Department wants to provide the public with the correct extended zip code in order to insure that the Department is receiving mail regarding PWDs without any foreseeable delay. The address change will be effective as of the effective date of this Notice.
