Con pocas excepciones, USCIS sólo aprueba las peticiones de ciudadanos de los países designados por el Secretario del DHS como elegibles para participar en el programa H-2A y H-2B. La nueva lista de países elegibles se anuncia en el Registro Federal y es válida por un año a partir de la fecha de publicación.
A partir del 18 de enero de 2013, ciudadanos de España y los siguientes países de Latinoamérica son elegibles para participar en los programas H-2A y H-2B:
Argentina, Belice, Brasil, Chile, Costa Rica, República Dominicana, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Perú, Uruguay.

(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Food Labeling; Notification Procedures
for Statements on Dietary
Supplements—21 CFR 101.93 (OMB
Control Number 0910–0331—Extension)
Section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 343(r)(6)) requires that FDA be
notified by manufacturers, packers, and
distributors of dietary supplements that
they are marketing a dietary supplement
product that bears on its label or in itslabeling a statement provided for in section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act.Section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act requires that FDA be notified, with a submission about such statements, no later than 30 days after the first
marketing of the dietary supplement.
Information that is required in thesubmission includes: (1) The name and address of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor of the dietary supplement
product; (2) the text of the statement that is being made; (3) the name of the dietary ingredient or supplement that is the subject of the statement; (4) the
name of the dietary supplement (including the brand name); and (5) a signature of a responsible individual who can certify the accuracy of the information presented, and who must certify that the information contained in the notice is complete and accurate, and that the notifying firm has
substantiation that the statement is truthful and not misleading.
The procedural regulation for this program is codified at § 101.93 (21 CFR 101.93). Section 101.93 provides submission procedures and identifies the information that must be included in order to meet the requirements of section 403 of the FD&C Act.
Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of information include manufacturers, packers, or distributors of dietary supplements that bear section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act statements on their labels or labeling.
We estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows:
TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1
21 CFR Section Number of
respondents 101.93
Number of
responses 2,200
Number of responses per
respondent 1
Total annual
responses 2,200
Average
burden per
response 0.75
Total hours 1,650
1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
We believe that there will be minimal
burden on the industry to generate
information to meet the requirements of
section 403 of the FD&C Act in
submitting information regarding
section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act
statements on labels or in labeling of
dietary supplements. We are requesting
only information that is immediately
available to the manufacturer, packer, or
distributor of the dietary supplement
that bears such a statement on its label
or in its labeling. We estimate that, each
year, approximately 2,200 firms will
submit the information required by
section 403 of the FD&C Act. We
estimate that a firm will require 0.75
hours to gather the information needed
and prepare a submission, for a total of
1,650 hours (2,200 × 0.75). This estimate
is based on the average number of
notification submissions received by us
in the preceding 3 years.
Dated: January 14, 2013.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND

[DHS–2011–0108]
RIN 1601–ZA11
Identification of Foreign Countries
Whose Nationals Are Eligible To
Participate in the H–2A and H–2B
Nonimmigrant Worker Programs
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: Under Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) regulations,
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) may approve petitions
for H–2A and H–2B nonimmigrant
status only for nationals of countries
that the Secretary of Homeland Security,
with the concurrence of the Secretary of
State, has designated by notice
published in the Federal Register. That
notice must be renewed each year. This
notice announces that the Secretary of
Homeland Security, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, is
identifying 59 countries whose
nationals are eligible to participate in
the H–2A and H–2B programs for the
coming year. The list published today
includes one new addition: Grenada.
DATES: Effective Date: This notice is
effective January 18, 2013, and shall be
without effect at the end of one year
after January 18, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Francis Cissna, Office of Policy,
Department of Homeland Security,
Washington, DC 20528, (202) 447–3835.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Generally, USCIS may
approve H–2A and H–2B petitions for
nationals of only those countries that
the Secretary of Homeland Security,
with the concurrence of the Secretary of
State, has designated as participating
countries. Such designation must be
published as a notice in the Federal
Register and expires after one year.
USCIS, however, may allow a national
from a country not on the list to be
named as a beneficiary of an H–2A or
H–2B petition based on a determination
that such participation is in the U.S.
interest. See 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F) and
8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(i)(E).
In designating countries to include on
the list, the Secretary of Homeland
Security, with the concurrence of the
Secretary of State, will take into account
factors including, but not limited to: (1)
The country's cooperation with respect
to issuance of travel documents for
citizens, subjects, nationals, and
residents of that country who are subject
to a final order of removal; (2) the
number of final and unexecuted orders
of removal against citizens, subjects,
nationals, and residents of that country;
(3) the number of orders of removal
executed against citizens, subjects,
Federal Register /Vol. 78, No. 13 / Friday, January 18, 2013 /Notices 4155
nationals, and residents of that country;
and (4) such other factors as may serve
the U.S. interest. See 8 CFR
214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(1)(i) and 8 CFR
214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(1).
In December 2008, DHS published in
the Federal Register two notices,
''Identification of Foreign Countries
Whose Nationals Are Eligible to
Participate in the H–2A Visa Program,''
and ''Identification of Foreign Countries
Whose Nationals Are Eligible to
Participate in the H–2B Visa Program,''
which designated 28 countries whose
nationals are eligible to participate in
the H–2A and H–2B programs. See 73
FR 77,043 (Dec. 18, 2008); 73 FR 77,729
(Dec. 19, 2008). The notices ceased to
have effect on January 17, 2010 and
January 18, 2010, respectively. See 8
CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(2) and 8 CFR
214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(3). To allow for the
continued operation of the H–2A and
H–2B programs, the Secretary of
Homeland Security, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of State,
has published subsequent notices on an
annual basis. See 75 FR 2,879 (Jan. 19,
2010) (adding 11 countries); 76 FR 2,915
(Jan. 18, 2011) (removing Indonesia and
adding 15 countries); 77 FR 2,558 (Jan.
18, 2012) (adding five countries).
The Secretary of Homeland Security
has determined, with the concurrence of
the Secretary of State, that the 58
countries designated in the January 18,
2012 notice continue to meet the
standards identified in that notice for
eligible countries and therefore should
remain designated as countries whose
nationals are eligible to participate in
the H–2A and H–2B programs. Further,
the Secretary of Homeland Security,
with the concurrence of the Secretary of
State, has determined to add Grenada to
the list. This determination is made
taking into account the four factors
identified above. The Secretary of
Homeland Security also considered
other pertinent factors including, but
not limited to, evidence of past usage of
the H–2A and H–2B programs by
nationals of the country to be added, as
well as evidence relating to the
economic impact on particular U.S.
industries or regions resulting from the
addition or continued non-inclusion of
specific countries.
Designation of Countries Whose
Nationals Are Eligible To Participate in
the H–2A and H–2B Nonimmigrant
Worker Programs
Pursuant to the authority provided to
the Secretary of Homeland Security
under sections 214(a)(1), 215(a)(1), and
241 of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(a)(1), 1185(a)(1), and
1231), I am designating, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of State,
nationals from the following countries

and H–2B nonimmigrant worker
programs:

This notice does not affect the status
of aliens who currently hold valid H–2A
or H–2B nonimmigrant status. Persons
holding such status, however, will be
affected by this notice at the time they
seek an extension of stay in H–2
classification, or a change of status (1)
from another nonimmigrant status to H–
2 status or (2) from one H–2 status to
another.
Nothing in this notice limits the
authority of the Secretary of Homeland
Security or her designee or any other
federal agency to invoke against any
foreign country or its nationals any
other remedy, penalty, or enforcement
action available by law.
Janet Napolitano,
Secretary.
