STATE LABOR vs CENTRAL LABOR

Taken from Labor Dept. RIR Conversion Rules and Regulation document submitted to Federal Register on Aug 03, 2001.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions were also raised with respect to applications that have
been forwarded to the regional office prior to recruitment and whether they may also be eligible for RIR conversion. As far as the Department can determine there is a relatively small number of cases that are now in regional office queues for which no recruiting has yet to occur. If the certifying officer remands such applications back to State agencies for further processing, the final rule permits RIR conversion requests provided that the application was initially filed prior to August 3, 2001. The Department, however, rejects AILA's suggestion that the
regulation be revised to allow RIR to be requested in these cases by filing conversion requests directly with the regional certifying
officer. Section 656.21(i)(1) provides that the employer shall file its written request for RIR processing at the appropriate Job Service office. The Proposed Rule did not contemplate changing the basic structure of the RIR processing procedures which require that the employer request for RIR processing be submitted to the SESA having jurisdiction over the area of intended employment. We believe that orderly processing dictates that all such requests be filed with the
SESA, whether the request is submitted with the application initially, or when submitted to the SESA under the RIR conversion procedures set forth in this final rule. Lastly, the Department does not believe that there are a large enough number of pre-recruitment cases in regional office queues for the amendment to have much of a beneficial effect on State agency backlogs. There appears to be such a small number of applications that could conceivably benefit from the suggested amendment that the Department does not believe such changes to the regulations governing RIR processing are warranted.
