Opportunity Reform Act’’, 38 U.S.C.
3002(3)(C), 3032(c), 3233, 3313(g), 3484,

Title: Monthly Certification of On-theJob and Apprenticeship Training.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0178.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Benefits are authorized
monthly based on the number of hours
worked by the trainee as verified by the
training establishment. Unscheduled
terminations result in the termination of
benefits. If hours are reduced to less
than a full-time work schedule, a
reduction of benefits will occur. Public
Law 115–89 ‘‘Veterans Apprenticeship
and Labor Opportunity Reform Act’’
(VALOR Act) was signed into law on
November 21, 2017. Section 3 of this
law amended 38 U.S.C. 3680(c) to
eliminate the trainee’s certification
requirement. As a result, this form is
only completed, signed, and certified by
the training establishment to report the
trainee’s number of hours worked and/
or to report the trainee’s date of
termination. The form no longer
requires the signature of the trainee. The
form is then sent to the Regional
Processing Office (RPO) for processing.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period

of information was published at 86 FR
