Abstract of Proposed Collection
The collection contains information collected and needed by the

Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended.
Training/Internship Placement Plans are to be completed by designated
program sponsors. A Training/Internship Placement Plan is required for
each trainee or intern participant. It will set forth the training or
internship program to be followed, methods of supervision, the skills
the trainee or intern will obtain, and trainee or intern compensation.
The plan must be signed by the trainee or intern, sponsor, and the
third-party placement organization, if a third-party organization is
used in the conduct of the training or internship. Upon request,
trainees or interns must present a fully executed Training/Internship
Placement Plan on Form DS-7002 to any Consular Official interviewing
them in connection with the issuance of J-1 visas.
Methodology
Information will be collected through electronic submission.
Mark Howard,
Director, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Department of
State.
