Abstract: The National Apprenticeship Act of 1937 (29 U.S.C. § 50) authorizes the Department “to formulate and promote the furtherance of labor standards necessary to safeguard the welfare of apprentices,” as well as to “to bring together employers” for the formulation of programs of apprenticeship. To implement this mandate, the Department has previously issued regulations (revised most recently in 2008) governing Labor Standards for the Registration of Apprenticeship Programs (at 29 CFR part 29), as well as regulations (revised most recently in 2016) governing Equal Employment Opportunity in Apprenticeship (at 29 CFR part 30). These regulatory provisions provide minimum national standards of apprenticeship that protect the welfare of apprentices and promote equal opportunity in apprenticeship. The representations and information collected through the form titled “Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs Accrediting Entity Information,” will enable the Department to acquire information regarding the quality of the plans and processes of a potential accreditor of industry-recognized apprenticeship programs under Training and Employment Notice 3-18. If the information collection described herein are approved, the Department will continue to monitor the quality and practical utility of the information yielded from this form. As this is a new information collection, the Department may find it necessary to submit non-material change requests to clarify the requirements. Any substantive changes would, of course require revising the ICR.
