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.
US Code:
29 USC 50
Name of Law: The National Apprenticeship Act
The change in the burden hours reflects an increase of 7,464 burden hours (from 14,724 to 22,188) from that of the previous PRA submission (OMB Control No. 125-0223) which OMB approved until June 30, 2018. This current request is for 22,188 burden hours and 239,720 respondents. This Information Collection Request for OMB Control No. 1205-0223 is being submitted in association with the Apprenticeship Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity Final Rule, and to align 29 CFR Part 29 with the changes to the companion regulations, 29 CFR Part 30. The increase in burden hours is due to an increase in the time required for program registration from 12 minutes to 30 minutes (Section IâProgram Registration of ETA form 671). This increase in burden better reflects the time it takes sponsors to develop program standards. Additionally, burden hours for this collection increased due to the new annual requirement for sponsors to invite participants to disclosure information regarding disabilities.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
