Abstract: Title 29 CFR Part 30 sets forth policies and procedures to promote equality of opportunity in apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor (the Department) and recognized State Apprenticeship Agencies. These policies and procedures apply to recruitment and selection of apprentices, and to all conditions of employment and training during apprenticeship. The procedures provide for registering apprenticeship programs, for reviewing apprenticeship programs, for processing complaints, and for deregistering non-complying apprenticeship programs. The part 30 regulations also provide policies and procedures for continuation or withdrawal of recognition of State Apprenticeship Agencies (SAAs) which register apprenticeship programs for Federal purposes.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This ICR is a revision because the agency has clarified that the assurance of confidentiality is limited to the extent permitted by law. The change in the estimated burden hours reflects a decrease in the burden hours from that of the previous PRA submission (from 3,582 burden hrs. to 3,219 burden hrs.). The decrease is due to the number of active apprentice programs having decreased since the prior submission. Decreases occurred, as follows in: 1. The number of new programs with less than five apprentices (from 380 burden hrs. to 325 burden hrs.). 2. The number of new programs with five or more apprentices (from 87 burden hrs. to 50 burden hrs.). 3. Active programs with five or more apprentices (from 1,350 burden hrs. to 1,250 burden hrs.). 4. The number of active programs in State agencies (from 1,097 to 999 burden hrs.).
