SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements can be properly assessed.
ETA is requesting an extension to a
currently approved ICR pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The National
Apprenticeship Act (NAA) of 1937 (29
U.S.C. 50) authorizes this information
collection. If approved, this ICR will
enable ETA to continue its data
collection concerning the registration of
apprenticeship programs and
apprentices with DOL/ETA’s Office of
Apprenticeship and recognized State
Apprenticeship Agencies, properly
assess the types of sponsors that are
seeking to register an apprenticeship
program and the level of growth in
apprenticeship, collect the data
necessary to calculate national
registered apprenticeship program and
apprentice totals, continue to
implement the requirements of the
Veterans Apprenticeship and Labor
Opportunity Reform (VALOR) Act (Pub.
L. 115–89) and the Support for Veterans
in Effective Apprenticeships Act of 2019
(Pub. L. 116–134). This ICR will also
continue to enable ETA to collect data
from registered apprenticeship programs
relating to equal employment
opportunity, and from applicants and/or
apprentices, who file a discrimination
complaint. Under the NAA, the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) is charged
with the establishment of labor
standards designed to safeguard the
welfare of apprentices and promote
apprenticeship opportunity. The NAA
also authorizes the Secretary to ‘‘publish
information relating to existing and
proposed labor standards of
apprenticeship.’’
ETA seeks an extension of this ICR
which includes the following: ETA
Form 671 (Program Registration and
Apprenticeship Agreement); ETA Form
9039 (Complaint Form—Equal
Employment Opportunity in
Apprenticeship Programs); and the
information collection instrument
pertaining to state program and
apprentice registration (ETA Form
9186). ETA Forms 671, 9039, and 9186
