SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Title 29 CFR part 29— Labor Standards for the Registration of Apprenticeship Program. Title 29 CFR 29 sets forth labor standards to safeguard the welfare of apprentices and to extend the application of such standards by prescribing policies and procedures concerning registration of apprenticeship. This information collection, ETA 671, has two sections: The first records the sponsor’s information and the second is for the apprentice’s information, filled out by the sponsor based on employment records. The submission is reviewed and signed by the state agency/Office of Apprenticeship. The information is collected on a one-time basis. This information collection is a revision, because the annual burden for this information collection increased from 22,158 hours to 32,399, which OMB approved until January 31, 2020. The burden hours have increased due to an increase in the total number of responses (i.e., apprentice and program counts). The number of responses has increased by 221,210 (from 239,720 to 451,930). 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 the OMB, under the PRA, approves it 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 1205– 0223.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the VETS/USERRA/VP (VETS–1010 Form) information collection. The VETS USERRA/VP Form 1010 (VETS–1010 Form) is used to file complaints with the Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) under either the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) or the laws and regulations related to Veterans’ Preference (VP) in Federal employment. On October 13, 1994, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), Public Law 103–353, 108 Stat. 3150 was signed into law. Contained in Title 38, U.S.C. 4301– 4335, USERRA is the replacement for the Veterans’ Reemployment Rights (VRR) law. The purposes of USERRA laws and regulations are: • To minimize disruption to the lives of persons who perform service in the uniformed services (including the National Guard and Reserves), as well as to their employers, their fellow employees, and their communities, by providing for prompt reemployment of such persons upon completion of such service; • To encourage individuals to participate in non-career uniformed service by eliminating and minimizing the disadvantages to civilian careers and employment which can result from such service; and • To prohibit discrimination in employment and acts of reprisal against persons because of their obligations in the uniformed services, prior service, intention to join the uniformed services, filing of a USERRA claim, seeking assistance concerning an alleged USERRA violation, testifying in a proceeding, or otherwise assisting in an investigation of a USERRA claim. The Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) of 1998, Public Law 105–339, 12 Stat. 3182, contained in Title 5 U.S.C. 3330a– 3330c, authorizes the Secretary of Labor to provide assistance to preference eligible individuals who believe their rights under the veterans’ preference laws have been violated, and to investigate claims filed by those individuals. The purposes of veterans’ preference laws include: To provide preference for certain veterans over others in Federal hiring from competitive lists of E:\FR\FM\30JAN1.SGM 30JAN1
