7694 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Proposed Rules 

part 29, to ensure that the National 

Registered Apprenticeship System has 

the necessary tools and flexibility to 

keep pace with changes in the economy, 

technological advances, and 

corresponding workforce challenges that 

have occurred over the past three 

decades. In particular, the proposed rule 

updates the procedures for 

apprenticeship program registration, 

adds requirements for monitoring of 

program performance, and clarifies the 

Department’s role as manager of the 

National Apprenticeship System. In 

addition, the proposed rule incorporates 

gender neutral terms and expands the 

variety of media that may be used in the 

delivery of related technical instruction. 

Such revisions will enable the 

Department to promote apprenticeship 

opportunity in the 21st century while 

continuing to safeguard the welfare of 

apprentices. 

The Department published its notice 

of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register of December 13, 2007 (FR Doc. 

E7–24178) at 72 FR 71020. The notice 

invited interested persons to submit 

written comments on the proposed rule 

on or before February 11, 2008. The 

Department received a number of 

requests for an extension of the 

comment period. After balancing the 

interests of timeliness and public 

participation, the Department has 

determined that it is in the public’s 

interest to extend the comment period 

by 30 days. This document extends the 

comment period through March 12, 

2008.
