Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 243 / Monday, December 19, 2016 / Notices
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
provide advice and recommendations to
the Secretary on the following: (1) The
development and implementation of
policies, legislation and regulations
affecting the National Registered
Apprenticeship system; (2) strategies
that can expand the use of the
Registered Apprenticeship model in
non-traditional industries such as, but
not limited to, Hospitality, Financial
Services, Transportation/Logistics,
Healthcare, Energy, Advanced
Manufacturing, and Information
Technology and Communications; (3)
ways to more effectively partner with
the public workforce system, workforce
intermediaries, International
apprenticeship partners, and
educational institutions and
communities to leverage Registered
Apprenticeship as a valued postsecondary credential; including policies
related to the Registered Apprenticeship
College Consortium; (4) priorities and
strategic investments to help in the
development of career pathways that
can generate access for everyone and
sustained employment for new and
incumbent workers, youth, Veterans,
women, minorities and other underutilized and disadvantaged populations;
and (5) efforts to improve performance,
quality and oversight, and utilization of
the National Registered Apprenticeship
system. The current ACA Charter will
expire on January 14, 2017. The ACA’s
Charter is required to be renewed every
two years. Since the Charter was last
renewed in January 2015, it has been
revised in four sections to ensure
alignment with departmental priorities.
The following four sections have been
updated (1) Objectives and Scope of
Activities; (2) Designated Federal
Officer; and (3) Representation under
the Membership and Designation; and
(4) Recordkeeping.
Summary of the Changes
1. Objectives and Scope of Activities:
The objectives and scope section of the
ACA Charter outlines the areas of focus
where the ACA will provide advice and
recommendations. ETA is expanding
and engaging with non-traditional
apprenticeship partners, such as
workforce intermediaries, and
international partners. ETA also seeks to
have ongoing engagement and feedback
from the ACA on the impact of funding
investments being made under the
ApprenticeshipUSA initiative. The
current ACA Charter states that the ACA
will advise on ways to more effectively
partner with the public workforce
system, educational institutions and
communities to leverage Registered
Apprenticeship as a valued postsecondary credential. The proposed
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
ACA Charter is being updated to reflect
ETA’s efforts to expand its partnerships
to include workforce intermediaries,
and interested partners from the
international apprenticeship
community. The proposed Charter is
further updated to include the need for
the ACA provide advice and
recommendations on the impact of
priorities and strategic investments
being made under ApprenticeshipUSA.
2. Designated Federal Officer: The
Designated Federal Officer (DFO)
section of the Charter is being updated
to reflect leadership changes within
ETA and subsequent shift of the DFO
responsibilities from the Administrator
of the Office of Apprenticeship to the
Deputy Administrator for National
Office Policy from the Office of
Apprenticeship.
3. Representation: The Representation
section of the Charter is being updated
to better align the ACA membership
with the ACA’s focus on Registered
Apprenticeship. NAGLO does not focus
solely on Registered Apprenticeship
matters. The Representation section of
the Charter is being further updated to
streamline the number of ex-officio
members from Federal agencies
represented on the ACA. The current
Charter reflects ex-officio membership
for five Federal agencies: The U.S.
Departments of (1) Commerce, (2)
Education, (3) Energy, (4) Health and
Human Services, and (5) Labor. A major
part of ETA’s apprenticeship expansion
focuses on expanding Registered
Apprenticeship as a premiere workforce
development strategy among businesses,
workforce development entities, postsecondary institutions, Career and
Technical Education and other
educational institutions. The proposed
Charter is being updated to streamline
the number of Federal agencies
represented on the ACA to the
Departments of Commerce, Education,
and Labor. ETA will continue to engage
with other Federal agencies as
appropriate.
4. Recordkeeping: The Recordkeeping
section of the Charter is being updated
to reflect changes to the General Records
Schedule for advisory committees. The
current Charter states that the records of
the ACA shall be handled in accordance
with the General Records Schedule 26,
item 2 and the approved records
disposition schedule for the
Employment and Training
Administration. The proposed Charter is
being updated to reflect changes in the
General Records Schedule for advisory
committees; records of the ACA will be
handled in accordance with General
Records Schedule 6.2, Federal Advisory
Committee Records, and the approved

This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Welding, Cutting, and Brazing Standard
information collection. More
specifically, regulations 29 CFR
1910.255(e) requires that a periodic
inspection of resistance welding
equipment be made by qualified
maintenance personnel and a
certification record generated and
maintained. The certification shall
include the date of the inspection, the
signature of the person who performed
the inspection and the serial number, or
other identifier, for the equipment
inspected. The maintenance inspection
ensures that welding equipment is in
safe operating condition, while the
maintenance record provides evidence
that employers performed the required
inspections. Occupational Safety and
Health Act sections 2(b)(3) and 8(c)
authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(3), 657(c).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1218–0207.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
February 28, 2017. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
