Abstract: Title 29 CFR 29 sets forth labor standards to safeguard the welfare of apprentices and to extend the application of such standards by prescribing policies and procedures concerning registration of apprenticeship. This information collection, ETA 671, has two sections: the first records the sponsor's information and the second is for the apprentice's information, filled out by the sponsor based on employment records. The submission is reviewed and signed by the state agency/ Office of Apprenticeship. The information is collected on a one-time basis.

Short Statement: This ICR is being modified to account for an increase in the information collected relating to state program and apprentice registration (ETA Form 9186), an increase in the total number of responses (i.e., apprentice and program counts), and the addition of the part 30 information collection requirements currently approved under OMB Control No. 1205-0224. The number of responses has increased by 505,522 (from 451,930 to 957,452). The annual burden for this information collection increased from 32,399 hours to 521,964 hours resulting in an increase of 489,565 hours over ETA’s previous estimate, which OMB approved through March 31, 2023. Because SAAs are registering programs and apprentices for Federal purposes, the burden for sponsors and apprentices in SAA states/territories has now been accounted for and has resulted in an increase in the number of responses and the annual burden hours. Also, a precise assessment of the time it takes for sponsors to comply with recordkeeping requirements, and the inclusion of an estimated time for the development of program standards by sponsors have resulted in an increase in the annual burden hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $4,156,066
