Short Statement:
The annual burden for this information collection increased from 22,158 hours to 32,399 hours resulting in an increase of 10,241 hours over ETA’s previous estimate, which OMB approved until January 31, 2020. The burden hours have increased due to an increase in the total number of responses (i.e., apprentice and program counts). The number of responses has increased by 212,210 (from 239,720 to 451,930). This increase in burden hours provides a more precise assessment of the time it takes sponsors to develop program standards. The revisions to the information collection consists of (1) minor edits for clarity; (2) an update to the Office of Apprenticeship's room number; (3) an update to the education level categories in Section II so that it more closely aligns with the educational categories the U.S. Census uses to obtain information; (4) an update to the field in Part B, 10a from “pre-apprenticeship hourly wage” to “prior hourly wage” to ensure that the earnings of a participant prior to beginning an apprenticeship is captured regardless of whether he or she participated in a pre-apprenticeship program; (5) deletion of the designation of a name and address of the Sponsor designee to receive complaints as optional; (6) and an update to the citation in Section II (Voluntary Disability Disclosure) to reflect the requirement that sponsors must invite apprentices and applicants to voluntarily self-identify whether or not they have a disability as required under part 30.
