Item 13. Identifies the individual or entity responsible for receiving complaints (Code of Federal Regulations, CFR, Title 29 part 29.7(k)).
Part C.
Item 4. Definition: The Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data System (RAPIDS) encrypts the apprentice’s social security number and
generates a unique identification number to identify the apprentice. It replaces the social security number to protect the apprentice’s privacy.

*The submission of your social security number is requested. The apprentice’s social security number will only be used to verify the apprentice’s periods of employment and
wages for purposes of complying with the Office of Management and Budget related to common measures of the Federal job training and employment programs for measuring
performance outcomes and for purposes of the Government Performance and Results Act. The Office of Apprenticeship will use wage records through the Wage Record
Interchange System and needs the apprentice’s social security number to match this number against the employers’ wage records. Also, the apprentice’s social security number
will be used, if appropriate, for purposes of the Davis Bacon Act of 1931, as amended, U.S. Code Title 40, Sections 276a to 276a-7, and Title 29 CFR 5, to verify and certify to
the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, that you are a registered apprentice to ensure that the employer is complying with the geographic prevailing wage of
your occupational classification. Failure to disclose your social security number on this form will not affect your right to be registered as an apprentice. Civil and criminal
provisions of the Privacy Act apply to any unlawful disclosure of your social security number, which is prohibited.

The collection and maintenance of the data on ETA-671, Apprentice Registration – Section II Form, is authorized under the National Apprenticeship Act, 29 U.S.C. 50, and CFR
29 Part 29.1. The data is used for apprenticeship program statistical purposes and is maintained, pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a.), in a system of records
entitled, DOL/ETA-4, Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Management Data System (RAPIDS) at the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship,. Data may
be disclosed to a State Apprenticeship Agency to determine an assessment of skill needs and program information, and in connection with federal litigation or when required by
law.

Persons are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average five minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The obligation to respond is required to obtain or retain benefits under 29 USC 50. Send comments
regarding this burden or any other aspect of this collection of information including suggestions for reducing this burden to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of
Apprenticeship, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room N-5311, Washington, D.C. 20210 (Paperwork Reduction Project 1205-0023.)
