SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Task Force Charter 

The Task Force has been established 

in accordance with the provisions of 

FACA, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, 

and its implementing regulations (41 

CFR 101–6 and 102–3). Interested 

parties can obtain the Task Force’s 

charter on the Task Force Web site: 

https://www.dol.gov/apprenticeship/ 

task-force.htm. The Task Force is 

charged with the mission of identifying 

strategies and proposals to promote 

apprenticeships, especially in sectors 

where apprenticeship programs are

insufficient. Upon completion of this 

assignment, the Task Force shall submit 

to the President of the United States a 

final report detailing these strategies 

and proposals. Pursuant to the 

Executive Order and the charter, the 

report must specifically address the 

following four topics: 

• Federal initiatives to promote 

apprenticeships; 

• Administrative and legislative 

reforms that would facilitate the 

formation and success of apprenticeship 

programs; 

• The most effective strategies for 

creating industry-recognized 

apprenticeships; and 

• The most effective strategies for 

amplifying and encouraging privatesector initiatives to promote 

apprenticeships. 

The Task Force is solely advisory in 

nature, and will consider testimony, 

reports, comments, research, evidence, 

and existing practices as appropriate to 

develop recommendations for inclusion 

in its final report to the President. While 

the Executive Order did not set forth a 

definite time by which the panel must 

complete its development of 

apprenticeship-related strategies and 

proposals and submit its final report to 

the President, it is important to note that 

the Task Force will not be continuing in 

nature. Additionally, given the nature 

and mission of the Task Force, some of 

the meeting proceedings could be 

included in a regulatory docket for an 

apprenticeship rulemaking, or other 

collection of documents made available 

by the agency for public viewing. 

Pursuant to both the Executive Order 

and the Charter, the Task Force shall 

terminate 30 days after it submits its 

final report to the President. 

Under both the Executive Order and 

the Charter, the Secretary of Labor shall 

serve as the Chair of the Task Force. The 

Secretaries of Education and Commerce 

shall serve as Vice-Chairs of the Task 

Force. The Secretary of Labor has 

appointed the representative members 

of the Task Force, which consists of 

twenty (20) individuals who work for or 

represent the perspectives of trade and 

industry groups, companies, workforce 

advocacy organizations, unions, joint 

labor-management organizations, 

educational institutions, state or local 

governments, and such other persons as 

the Secretary of Labor may from time to 

time designate. These members include 

distinguished citizens from outside of 

the Federal Government with relevant 

experience concerning the development 

of a skilled workforce through quality 

apprenticeship programs. Pursuant to 

the Executive Order and the charter, a 

member of the Task Force may 

designate a senior member of his or her 

organization to attend any Task Force 

meeting. Members of the Task Force 

shall serve without compensation for 

their work on the Task Force, but shall 

be allowed travel expenses, including 

per diem in lieu of subsistence, to the 

extent permitted by law for persons 

serving intermittently in the 

Government service (5 U.S.C. 5701— 

5707), consistent with the availability of 

funds. Each member of the Task Force 

shall serve at the pleasure of the 

Secretary of Labor for a term that will 

cease 30 days after the delivery of the 

panel’s final report to the President, at 

which time the Task Force will be 

disbanded officially.
