Administration 

Notice of Renewal of the Advisory 

Committee on Apprenticeship (ACA) 

Charter 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Renewal of the Advisory 

Committee on Apprenticeship (ACA) 

Charter. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the 

renewal of a national advisory 

committee on apprenticeship that is 

necessary and in the public interest. 

Accordingly, the U.S. Department of 

Labor, the Employment and Training 

Administration has renewed the 

Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship 

Charter for two years and has made 

changes to the terms of members. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Advisory Committee on 

Apprenticeship (ACA) is an advisory 

group to the Secretary of Labor, whose 

objective is to make recommendations 

on how to strengthen the Registered 

Apprenticeship system. The Charter is 

required to be renewed every two years; 

the current Charter expires February 20, 

2009. The committee’s 

recommendations and accomplishments 

have and continue to help ETA and the 

Secretary to transform and expand the 

apprenticeship model. The current 

Charter is being renewed with changes 

to the terms of members. 

Summary of Revisions 

The Charter is amended to better 

clarify the Secretary’s authority to 

reappoint Committee members prior to 

the expiration of their terms. We have 

added introductory language to state 

that ‘‘to the extent practicable, members 

shall be appointed according to the 

terms of this section. However, all 

Committee members shall serve at the 

pleasure of the Secretary and members 

may be appointed, reappointed, and/or 

replaced, and their terms may be 

extended, changed, or terminated as the 

Secretary sees fit.’’ 

In addition, the 2007 Charter states 

that ‘‘ * * * the expiration date of the 

2-year terms shall coincide with the 

termination of the Charter, and the 1- 

year terms shall expire one month prior 

to the termination of the Charter.’’ For 

clarity in the language, and appropriate 

termination of membership terms, this 

section was revised to read: ‘‘* * * 

When the Charter is renewed prior to its 

expiration date, the terms will continue 

for the period specified in the invitation 

unless either the term or the Charter is 

terminated by the Secretary. When the 

Charter is not renewed prior to its 

expiration date, the terms offered under 

that Charter shall expire upon 

termination of the Charter.’’ Finally, we 

have made a few grammatical 

corrections to this section.
