Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The change in the burden hours reflects an increase of 7,464 burden hours (from 14,724 to 22,188) from that of the previous PRA submission (OMB Control No. 125-0223) which OMB approved until June 30, 2018. This current request is for 22,188 burden hours and 239,720 respondents. This Information Collection Request for OMB Control No. 1205-0223 is being submitted in association with the Apprenticeship Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity Final Rule, and to align 29 CFR Part 29 with the changes to the companion regulations, 29 CFR Part 30. The increase in burden hours is due to an increase in the time required for program registration from 12 minutes to 30 minutes (Section I—Program Registration of ETA form 671). This increase in burden better reflects the time it takes sponsors to develop program standards. Additionally, burden hours for this collection increased due to the new annual requirement for sponsors to invite participants to disclosure information regarding disabilities.
