Abstract: The Department’s program and performance reporting requirements set forth in § 29.22(h) include program-level data and performance outcomes for IRAPs, which allows the Department, the Standards Recognition Entities (SREs), and the public to review and assess IRAP program and performance information. In addition, 29 CFR part 29 subpart B includes regulatory requirements for public notifications and reporting requirements by the SRE to the Department of Labor’s, Office of Apprenticeship Administrator (Administrator) in a format prescribed by the Administrator. This ICR establishes these reports as the required format for SREs to submit the data and guidelines on calculating the required information.
