Short Statement: The change in the burden hours reflects a decrease of 688 burden hours (from 15,223 to 14,535) from that of the previous PRA submission. In the previous submission the overall burden hours and respondent data included ETA 671, Sections I and II, 14,933 burden hours and 138,466 respondents. It also included the YouthBuild Apprenticeship Trainee Registration Form, ETA 671A, 240 burden hours and 1,500 respondents. The ETA 671A was discontinued because the program ended. Thus the current request is for 14,755 burden hours and 141,779 respondents.
