Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 243 / Monday, December 19, 2016 / Notices
Collection of Data From FY 2016 and
the First Two Quarters of FY 2017
To collect data from FY 2016 and the
1st and 2nd Quarters of FY 2017, DOJ
will send an Open Source Summary to
States, which will contain all reportable
deaths identified though the open
source review as occurring during that
timeframe and that did not occur in or
under the jurisdiction of jails, prisons,
or other correctional facilities. DOJ will
send the Open Source Summary by May
31, 2017. DOJ will request States to
submit Incident Reports for each of the
identified deaths by November 30, 2017.
Reportable deaths that occurred in jails,
prisons, or other correctional facilities
during 2016 and 2017 will be captured
through BJS’ existing jails and prisons
collections. DOJ will not be making any
compliance determinations or assessing
penalties on States based on States’
reporting of FY 2016 or FY 2017 data.

Publicly Available Information
To advance DCRA’s aims of
transparency and evidence-based policy
development, DOJ will release certain
information to the public each fiscal
year, including the State plans, the
number of deaths reported for each
agency and facility, and data on the
circumstances surrounding those
deaths. The information released would
otherwise be subject to public
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act. The release will be
consistent with Department policies and
any applicable federal laws, including
federal privacy laws, and will not
contain personally identifiable
information.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: For purposes of this burden
calculation, it is estimated that for each
fiscal year there will be a total of 1900
reportable deaths by 1,060 LEAs, 1,053
reportable deaths by 600 jails, and 3,483
reportable deaths by prisons.
For FY 2016, the total projected
respondent burden is 2,124.00 hours.
For States to review and complete the
Open Source Summary (DCR–2) at 4.00
hours per Summary and to complete the
corresponding Incident Reports (DCR–
1A) at 0.25 hours per Report, the total
estimated burden is 475.00 hours. For
LEAs, the estimated burden to assist
States in completing Incident Reports is
0.75 hours per Report for a total of
1,425.00 hours.
For FY 2017, the total projected
respondent burden is 14,172 hours.
States will need an estimated 4.00 hours
to complete each Quarterly Summary
for a total of 2,240.00 hours, 0.25 hours

to complete each corresponding
Incident Reports (DCR–1A) for a total of
475.00 hours, and 4.00 hours for the
Open Source Summaries (DCR–2) for a
total of 224.00 hours. Additionally,
States must develop the State Data
Collection Plan in FY2017 to meet the
October 1, 2017, deadline. The
estimated burden is 160.00 hours for a
total of 8,960.00 hours. For LEAs in FY
2017, the estimated burden to assist
States in completing the Quarterly
Summaries is 0.40 hours per Report for
a total of 848.00 hours, and a total of
1,425.00 hours, at 0.75 hours for each
corresponding Incident Report.
For FY2018, the total projected
respondent burden is 14,428.49 hours.
The increase over FY 2017 is due to
requiring reportable deaths from jails
and prisons in addition to arrest-related
deaths but is offset by the need for each
State to devote approximately
significantly less time—approximately
8.00 hours, for a total of 448.00 hours—
to update instead of develop its State
Data Collection Plan. Additionally,
based on the same per report estimates
described for FY 2017, the projected
aggregate burden for States is 4,480.00
hours to complete the Quarterly
Summaries (DCR–1), 1,713.49 hours to
complete the corresponding Incident
Reports (DCR–1A and DCR–1B), and
224.00 hours to complete the Open
Source Summaries (DCR–2).
For LEAs in FY 2018, the estimated
burden to assist States in completing the
Quarterly Summaries is a total of
1,696.00 hours, while the total to assist
States in completing Incident Reports
remains 1,425.00 hours. The estimated
burden for jails is a total of 960.00 hours
to assist States in completing the
Quarterly Summaries and 789.75 hours
in completing Incident Reports. Finally,
the estimated burden for prisons to
assist States in completing the Quarterly
Summaries is a total of 80.00 hours, and
a total of 2,612.25 hours to assist States
in completing Incident Reports.

Administration
Notice of Intent To Renew the Advisory
Committee on Apprenticeship (ACA)
Charter
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Secretary of Labor has
determined that the renewal of the
Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship
is necessary and in the public interest.
The Department of Labor intends to
renew the ACA Charter with revisions.
The revisions are not intended to
change the purpose or the Committee’s
original intent. The revisions are a
routine updating of the Charter to
ensure closer alignment with the
Department’s current apprenticeship
expansion goals.

Designated Federal Officer, Mr. Daniel
Villao, Deputy Administrator for
National Office Policy, Office of
Apprenticeship, Employment and
Training Administration, U.S.

number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Registered
Apprenticeship is a unique public
private 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 organization 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.
It is particularly important to have such
considerations at this time in light of the
current national interest in
apprenticeship and the Department of
Labor’s goal to double the number of
apprentices across the country, in the
next five years by expanding into a
variety of non-traditional industries.
The ACA’s insight and
recommendations on the best ways to
grow apprenticeship to meet the
emerging skill needs of employers is
critical. 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 Charter 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
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

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

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

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, post-secondary 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 records disposition schedule for the Employment and
Training Administration.
