I. Background

    The National Apprenticeship Act of 1937, Section 50 (29 U.S.C. 50),

bring together employers and labor for the formulation of programs of 
apprenticeship, to cooperate with State agencies engaged in the 
formulation and promotion of standards of apprenticeship, and to 
cooperate with the Secretary of Education in accordance with Section 17 
of Title 20.'' Section 50a of the Act authorizes the Secretary of Labor 
to ``publish information relating to existing and proposed labor 
standards of apprenticeship,'' and to ``appoint national advisory 
committees * * *'' (29 U.S.C. 50a).
    Title 29 CFR Part 30 sets forth policies and procedures to promote

procedures for continuation or withdrawal of recognition of State

burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
