SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
OSHA standard on manlifts requires
that each manlift be inspected at least
once every 30 days, and it requires that
limit switches be checked weekly. A
certification record of the inspection
must be prepared upon completion of
the inspection. The record must contain
the date of the inspection, the signature
of the person who performed the
inspection, and the serial number or
other identifier of the inspected manlift.
The OSHA requires this information to
be collected by employers for
determining the cumulative
maintenance status of a manlift and or
taking the necessary preventive actions
to ensure worker safety.
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
currently 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 if the
collection of information does not
display a currently valid OMB control
number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval
for this information collection under
OMB Control Number 1218–0236. The
current OMB approval is scheduled to
expire on January 31, 2011; however, it
should be noted that information

while they undergo review. For
additional information, see the related

section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1218–

interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training
Administration
Notice of Renewal of the Advisory
Committee on Apprenticeship (ACA)
Charter
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of Charter Renewal.
AGENCY:
The Secretary of Labor has
determined that the renewal of a
national advisory committee on
apprenticeship is necessary and in the
public interest. The Department of
Labor will renew the ACA Charter with
revisions. The revisions are not
intended to change the purpose or the
Committee’s original intent. The
revisions are intended as a routine
updating of the Department’s strategic
goals and existing procedures. The
Charter for the ACA expired on January
15, 2011.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Registered
Apprenticeship is a unique publicprivate partnership that is highly
dependent on the engagement and
involvement of its stakeholders and
partners for its ongoing operational
effectiveness. Apart from the ACA, there
is no single source or group with the
broad representation of labor,
employers, and the public available to
consider the complexities and
relationship of apprenticeship activities
to other training efforts or to provide
advice on such matters to the Secretary
and DOL officials. It is particularly
important to have such considerations
at this time in view of the current
widespread and national interest in the
role apprenticeship can play in
providing career pathways to good jobs
for all populations in a range of high

growth industries, including healthcare
and clean and renewable energy. For
these reasons, the Secretary of Labor has
determined that the renewal of a
national advisory committee on
apprenticeship is necessary and in the
public interest.
The ACA is being renewed to 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 to
expand the use of the Registered
Apprenticeship model in demand
occupations in industries, such as, but
not limited to, clean and renewable
energy sectors, and healthcare; (3) ways
to more effectively partner with the
public workforce system and
educational institutions and
communities to leverage Registered
Apprenticeship as a valued post
secondary credential; (4) the
development of career pathways that
can lead to good jobs for everyone and
sustained employment for new and
incumbent workers, youth, and underutilized and disadvantaged populations;
and (5) efforts to improve the
performance, quality and oversight, and
recognition and utilization of the
National Registered Apprenticeship
System which will foster quality work
places that are safe, healthy, and fair.
The current ACA Charter expired
January 15, 2011. The ACA’s Charter is
required to be renewed every two years
from the date of the Secretary of Labor’s
signature. Given that the Charter was
last renewed in January 2009, it has
been revised in several sections to
reflect the current state of the National
Apprenticeship System and to better
align with the Secretary’s priorities.
