Section G: To Be Completed by Registration Agency

G5. Apprentice Identification Number: 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.






Public Burden Statement: 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 ten 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 U.S.C. 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, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room C-5321, Washington, D.C. 20210 or email [email protected] and reference OMB Control Number 1205-0NEW. Note: Please do not return the completed ETA Form 671, Part II to this address.




**An apprentice’s disclosure of their social security number is voluntary. The Department of Labor collects apprentice social security numbers under the authority of the National Apprenticeship Act. The apprentice’s social security number will be used for program management purposes, such as verification of the apprentice’s period of employment and earnings to align with Department of Labor’s job training and employment program performance indicators for measuring performance outcomes. The Office of Apprenticeship will use wage records through the State Wage Interchange System, which 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 part 5, to verify and certify to the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, that the apprentice is a registered apprentice to ensure that the employer is complying with the geographic prevailing wage of the occupational classification. Failure to disclose an apprentice’s social security number on this form will not affect the right to be registered as an apprentice. Civil and criminal provisions of the Privacy Act apply to any unlawful disclosure of social security numbers.
