SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The National Apprenticeship Act of 

1937, Section 50 (29 U.S.C. 50), 

authorizes and directs the Secretary of 

Labor ‘‘to formulate and promote the 

furtherance of labor standards necessary 

to safeguard the welfare of apprentices, 

to extend the application of such 

standards by encouraging the inclusion 

thereof in contracts of apprenticeship, to 

bring together employers and labor for 

the formulation of programs of 

apprenticeship, to cooperate with State 

agencies engaged in the formulation and 

promotion of standards of 

apprenticeship, and to cooperate with 

the Secretary of Education in 

accordance with Section 17 of Title 20.’’ 

Section 50a of the Act authorizes the 

Secretary of Labor to ‘‘publish 

information relating to existing and 

proposed labor standards of 

apprenticeship,’’ and to ‘‘appoint 

national advisory committees * * *’’ 

(29 U.S.C. 50a). 

Title 29 CFR Part 30 sets forth policies 

and procedures to promote equality of 

opportunity in apprenticeship programs 

registered with the U.S. Department of 

Labor and recognized State 

Apprenticeship Agencies. These 

policies and procedures apply to

apprentices, and to all conditions of 

employment and training during 

apprenticeship. The procedures provide 

for review of apprenticeship programs, 

for registering apprenticeship programs, 

for processing complaints, and for 

deregistering non-complying 

apprenticeship programs. This part also 

provides policies and procedures for 

continuation or withdrawal of 

recognition of State agencies which 

register apprenticeship programs for 

Federal purposes.

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information,
