Abstract:
The Form ETA 741, the Occupational Code Assignment (OCA), is necessary to help occupational information users relate an occupational specialty or job title to an occupational code and title within the framework of the O*NET-SOC (Occupational Information Network-Standard Occupational Classification) based system. It helps provide occupational codes for jobs where duties have changed to the extent that the published information is no longer appropriate or the user is unable to classify the job on their own. The Occupational Code Assignment helps users obtain an O*NET-SOC code which allows for compatibility and standardization in the area of occupational coding.

Short Statement:
The burden estimate for future years is being doubled based on internal consultation with the Office of Apprenticeship, which uses the OCA request form for the purpose of obtaining an occupational code for new Registered Apprenticeship programs and therefore is one of the major users of the form. This upward adjustment is to accommodate the anticipated impact of the American Apprenticeship grant competition, in which in the U.S. Department of Labor awarded $175 million to 46 applicants in September 2015, intended to increase Registered Apprenticeship programs and participation nationwide. In addition, another $90 million in apprenticeship grants will be awarded in 2016. Both of these initiatives could generate a higher number of future OCA requests than in previous years.
