under the INA, there is a need for an extension of an existing
collection of information pertaining to employers seeking to hire
foreign workers for permanent or temporary employment in the U.S. by

sustained increase in the number of applications filed by employers
each year.

the following is from DOL website
The contractor will provide staff and facilities to perform the complete processing of applications for Permanent Labor Certification; this includes all of the functions that are currently performed at the SWA and a DOL regional office level (except for final approval/certification which must be made by a federal official). While offerors should consult the PwC management report, the simulation reports, and the program's implementing regulations at (20 CFR 656), for a detailed description of the labor certification application and approval process, the following general description of the contractor's duties is provided:
§ Enter application data into an established software program (see simulation study for a description) and begin tracking;
§ Review applications for completeness;
§ Validate the business status of the employer and confirm the employer's knowledge that an application has been filed on the firm's behalf;
§ Conduct prevailing wage review and determination (on-line function);
§ Work with employers to publish advertisements for non-RIR applications;
§ Assist in adjudication of RIR and regular applications;
§ Prepare and respond to correspondence, generally referred to as 45-day letters (See FOOTNOTE #3) ; and
§ Prepare Notification of Findings (NoF) or submit application for approval/denial.
FOOTNOTE #3: 45 day letters are official correspondence between the agency and the employer and are generally used to return incomplete applications and other official notifications affecting the status of an application.
