Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 8, 2018 / Notices 39131 

First, in September 2016, DOL 

awarded $20.4 million through 10 

National Industry Partner contracts and 

four National Equity Partner contracts to 

increase apprenticeships in particular 

industries and focus on diversity and 

inclusion in apprenticeships, 

respectively. In November 2016, DOL 

awarded a total of $50.5 million in 

grants to 36 states and one territory to 

expand apprenticeships throughout the 

country. In 2017, 10 contracts were 

renewed for a second contract year. 

This information collection covers an 

evaluation study, which will address six 

key research questions related to the 

SAE grants and national industry and 

equity partner contracts: (1) How are 

grantees’ and contractors’ 

implementation activities progressing 

around efforts to drive apprenticeship 

expansion and diversity, (2) What 

partnerships have been developed as a 

result of these activities, (3) What 

factors have affected implementation, 

(4) How are funds being used, (5) What 

state policies exist or are in 

development to support expansion, and 

(6) What promising models or lessons 

have emerged? In addition, through a 

national survey of states and U.S. 

territories, the study will address the 

question: What is the current status of 

states’ efforts to grow apprenticeship 

programs and opportunities? 

The National Apprenticeship Act of 

1937 (29 U.S.C. 50) authorizes this 

information collection. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under PRA 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 Control Number. See CFR 

1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of final ICR. In order 

to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention control number 1205–XXXX. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet without 

redaction. The DOL encourages 

commenters not to include personally 

identifiable information, in any 

comments. 

The DOL is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submission 

of responses).
