Improving Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment in the United States.” The notice of proposed rulemaking proposed to rescind provisions of the H-2A final rule published by the Department on April 29, 2024. Due to the government shutdown, the public could not request copies of all associated forms and materials and review those materials to inform potential comments on the **Federal Register** notice because OFLC staff were not available to provide those documents during a significant portion of the 60-day comment period, which concluded on November 10, 2025.
This notice ensures the public has the opportunity to request the supporting documents with the proposed changes to the ICR covered under 1205-0466, in order to make fully informed comments about the changes proposed through the **Federal Register** notice. Therefore, the Department is reopening the 60-day comment period until January 16, 2026 to allow the public additional time to request the support documents and provide comments related to the ICR covered under 1205-0466.
