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
(Secretary) has determined that the
renewal of the Advisory Committee on
Apprenticeship (ACA or Committee) is
necessary and in the public interest. The
Department of Labor (DOL) intends to
renew the ACA charter with revisions
which are not intended to change the
Committee’s purpose or original intent.
The revisions update the charter to
ensure its closer alignment with the
Department’s current apprenticeship
priorities.
DATES: The renewed ACA charter will
be filed after this notice publishes.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
any questions concerning the Charter
renewal, please contact John Ladd, OA
Administrator and ACA DFO, at
advisorycommitteeonapprenticeship@
dol.gov, telephone (202) 693–2796 (this
is not a toll-free 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
perspectives as DOL considers the
expansion of registered apprenticeship,
fundamentally instilling a permanent
culture of inclusion in our workforce.
The ACA’s insight and
recommendations on the best ways to
address critical apprenticeship issues to
meet the emerging needs of industry,

labor, and the public is critical. For
these reasons, the Secretary has
determined that the renewal of a
national advisory committee on
apprenticeship is necessary and in the
public interest.
The current charter for the ACA will
expire on May 19, 2023. The pending
charter has been revised to ensure
alignment with current DOL priorities
in the following six sections: (1)
Authority; (2) Objectives and Scope of
Activities; (3) Description of Duties; (4)
The Estimated Annual Operating Costs
and Staff Years; (5) The Estimated
Number and Frequency of Meetings;
and (6) The Membership and
Designation.
Summary of the Charter Changes
1. Authority was updated to reflect
the recent change in H.R. 5961, which
changed the placement of FACA in Title
5 of the U.S. Code.
2. The Objectives and Scope of
Activities was updated to remove
references to specific industry to
broaden the ACA’s focus, reflect
evolving industrial priorities, and
maximize the Department’s ability to
consider all industries.
3. The Description of Duties was
updated to remove the requirement for
an interim report to allow the ACA
members the entire length of the term to
address more complex issues, complete
their work and develop a final report
and supplemental recommendations as
needed.
4. The Estimated Annual Operating
Costs and Staff Years was updated to
increase the estimated costs to be more
reflective of the actual cost and the
increase in staff and contractor
resources needed for overall committee
operation and travel. Further, the
estimated operational costs range from
$526,057.21–$471,057.21 and are
contingent on the number of in-person
meetings, and the number of ACA
members requesting travel
reimbursement. The increased costs also
reflect the broader role ETA envisions
for the ACA.
5. The Estimated Number and
Frequency of Meetings was updated to
provide clarity that in addition to the
annual ACA meetings, there may be a
need to convene additional meetings as
determined by Secretarial priorities.
ETA anticipates that many of these
meetings will be outside of Washington,
DC and will highlight specific issues
that the ACA is addressing.
6. The Membership and Designation
was updated to remove the requirement
for one apprentice to serve as a voting
member to be more inclusive and align
with current practice to invite

apprentices from different industries to
participate in all public meetings
throughout the membership term.
The ACA is being renewed in
accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. 10. The
ACA is charged with providing advice
and recommendations to the Secretary
on a variety of apprenticeship issues.
The ACA’s duties include assembling,
reviewing, and assessing information
relating to accelerating the expansion of
apprenticeship. In providing advice and
recommendations to the Secretary, the
ACA will hold regular meetings with
agendas that are prepared with guidance
provided by the Department; engage
with a variety of stakeholders, to
include site and field visits, as
appropriate; review and provide
feedback on research, policies, best
practices, and industry and employment
trends; and consult with experts and
practitioners for information and
expertise pertinent to Committee duties
and priorities as needed.
The ACA will consist of a range of
27–30 voting members that represent
labor, employers, and the public:
• Employers or Industry Associations
• Labor or Joint Labor-Management
Organizations
• Members of the Public, that
represent one of the following: State
apprenticeship agencies/councils; State
or local workforce development board;
community-based organizations; career
and technical education schools, or
local educational agency; postsecondary
education and training providers;
apprenticeship intermediaries.
The ACA will be solely advisory in
nature, and will consider testimony,
reports, comments, research, evidence,
and existing practices as appropriate to
develop recommendations for inclusion
in its final reports to the Secretary.
Members of the ACA serve without
compensation, but will be allowed
travel expenses, including per diem in
lieu of subsistence, to the extent
permitted by law for persons serving
intermittently in the Government
service (5 U.S.C. 5701–5707), consistent
with the availability of funds. Each ACA
member will serve at the pleasure of the
Secretary for a specified term. The
Secretary may also appoint members to
fill any ACA vacancies for the
unexpired portions of the term.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment
and Training, Labor.
