印度新闻社（PTI）10月27日报道，白宫已完成对一项旨在现代化永久劳工认证流程（即PERM）提案的审查，PERM被视为雇主为外籍员工担保绿卡的第一步。
The White House has completed its review of a proposal to modernise the permanent labour certification process, or PERM, which is considered the first step for employers sponsoring foreign workers for green cards, news agency Press Trust of India reported on October 27.
美国劳工部的提案旨在修订劳动力市场测试及PERM项目的其他方面，这些内容上一次修改是在2004年。该部门于7月将提案提交白宫管理和预算办公室（OMB）审查。
The US Department of Labour's proposal seeks to revise the labour market test and other aspects of the PERM programme, which were last modified in 2004. The department submitted the proposal to the White House's Office of Management and Budget for review in July.
据PTI报道，该提案的推进正值美国政府对PERM项目开展更广泛的执法打击之际。此举是由副总统万斯（JD Vance）牵头的反欺诈特别工作组采取的措施之一。
According to PTI, the proposal is being advanced amid a broader enforcement crackdown on the PERM programme by the US administration. The action is part of measures taken by the Anti-Fraud Taskforce led by Vice-President JD Vance.
本月初，美国暂停了微软、Adobe及另外六家科技雇主的PERM项目，其中包括Infosys Technologies和塔塔集团。
Earlier this month, the US suspended the PERM programmes of Microsoft, Adobe and six other technology employers, including Infosys Technologies and Tata Group.
提案的具体条款要等到发布后才能知晓。但其说明称，将修订PERM招聘的最低标准，强化与美国工人被裁员相关的规则，并加强雇主的反歧视要求。
The proposal's specific provisions will be known only after it is published. However, its description says it would revise the minimum standards for PERM recruitment, strengthen rules related to layoffs of US workers and enhance employer non-discrimination requirements.
提案一旦在《联邦纪事》上发布，劳工部预计将征求公众意见30天或60天。在意见被考虑并最终确定规则之前，该法规不会生效。
Once the proposal is published in the Federal, the Department of Labour is expected to invite public comments for 30 or 60 days. The regulation will not take effect until the comments are considered and the rule is finalised.
拟议变更旨在修订PERM劳动力市场测试下招聘合格美国工人的标准，同时强化裁员规则和雇主在招聘与雇佣中遵守反歧视要求的规定。
The proposed changes are aimed at revising standards for recruiting qualified US workers under the PERM labour market test, while strengthening rules on layoffs and employer compliance with non-discrimination requirements in recruitment and hiring.
