(a) Facsimile transmission (FAX). If the employer submits the LCA (Form ETA 9035) by FAX, the transmission shall be made to 1-800-397- 0478 (regardless of the intended place of employment for the H-1B nonimmigrant(s)). (Note: the employer submitting an LCA via FAX shall not use the FAX
number assigned to an ETA regional office, but shall use only the 1-800-397-0478 number designated for this purpose.) The cover pages to Form ETA 9035 (i.e., Form ETA 9035CP) should not be FAXed with the Form ETA 9035.
(b) U.S. Mail. If the employer submits the LCA (Form ETA 9035) by U.S. Mail, the LCA shall be sent to the ETA service center at the following address: ETA Application Processing Center, P.O. Box 13640, Philadelphia PA 19101 (regardless of the intended place of employment for the H-1B
nonimmigrant(s)).
(c) Electronic submission. If the employer submits the LCA (Form ETA 9035E) by electronic transmission, the submission shall be made on the Department of Labor WEB page at http://www.lca.doleta.gov (regardless of the intended place of employment for
the H-1B nonimmigrant(s)). The employer shall follow the instructions in the electronic submission process, which include the requirement that the employer shall print out and sign the LCA immediately after ETA's certification, shall maintain the ``signed original'' in its files, shall place a copy
of the ``signed original'' in the public access file, and shall submit a copy of the ``signed original'' to the Immigration and Naturalization Service in support of the Form I-129 petition for the H-1B nonimmigrant. In the event that ETA implements the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (44
U.S.C.A. 3504 n.) and/or the Electronic Records and Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) (15 U.S.C.7001- 7006) for the submission and certification of the ETA 9035E, instructions will be provided (by public notice(s) and by instructions on the Department's WEB page) to employers
as to how the requirements of these statutes will be met in the ETA-9035E procedures.
(d) All matters other than the processing of LCAs (e.g., prevailing wage challenges by employers) that are the responsibility of ETA are within the jurisdiction of the Regional Certifying Officers in the ETA regional offices identified in Sec. 655.721.
