SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL requests clearance from OMB for a new
collection associated with the Evaluating Registered Apprenticeship
Initiative. The Chief Evaluation Office of the U.S. DOL commissioned
the Evaluating Registered Apprenticeship Initiative study to design and
conduct analyses that add to the evidence base on apprenticeship
strategies and models through an evaluation of the Apprenticeship
Building America (ABA) grants. ABA awarded grants in four categories:
state apprenticeship building and modernization (category 1), youth
apprenticeships (category 2), pre-apprenticeships (category 3), and
registered apprenticeship hubs (category 4). For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on May 4, 2022 (88 FR 28614).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL-CEO.
Title of Collection: Evaluating Registered Apprenticeship
Initiative Study.

Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,104.
Total Estimated Number of Responses: 2,104.
