BILLING CODE 4510–FR–P
The Advisory Committee on
Apprenticeship (ACA) is an advisory
group to the Secretary of Labor, whose
objective is to make recommendations
on how to strengthen the Registered
Apprenticeship system. The Charter is
required to be renewed every two years;
the current Charter expires February 20,
2009. The committee’s
recommendations and accomplishments
have and continue to help ETA and the
Secretary to transform and expand the
apprenticeship model. The current
Charter is being renewed with changes
to the terms of members.
The Charter is amended to better
clarify the Secretary’s authority to
reappoint Committee members prior to
the expiration of their terms. We have
added introductory language to state
that ‘‘to the extent practicable, members
shall be appointed according to the
terms of this section. However, all
Committee members shall serve at the
pleasure of the Secretary and members
may be appointed, reappointed, and/or
replaced, and their terms may be
extended, changed, or terminated as the
Secretary sees fit.’’
In addition, the 2007 Charter states
that ‘‘ * * * the expiration date of the
2-year terms shall coincide with the
termination of the Charter, and the 1year terms shall expire one month prior
to the termination of the Charter.’’ For
clarity in the language, and appropriate
termination of membership terms, this
section was revised to read: ‘‘* * *
When the Charter is renewed prior to its
VerDate Nov<24>2008
expiration date, the terms will continue
for the period specified in the invitation
unless either the term or the Charter is
terminated by the Secretary. When the
Charter is not renewed prior to its
expiration date, the terms offered under
that Charter shall expire upon
termination of the Charter.’’ Finally, we
have made a few grammatical
corrections to this section.
