Bobby Scott Chairman The Honorable Virginia Foxx Ranking Member Committee on Education and Labor House of Representatives Subject: Department of Labor: Apprenticeship Programs, Labor Standards for Registration, Amendment of Regulations Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Labor (DOL) entitled Apprenticeship Programs, Labor Standards for Registration, Amendment of Regulations (RIN: 1205-AB85). We received the rule on March 11, 2020. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on March 11,2020. 85 Fed. Reg. 14294. The effective date of the rule is May 11, 2020. The final rule establishes a process for DOL's Office of Apprenticeship (OA) Administrator (Administrator), or any person designated by the Administrator, to recognize qualified third-party entities, known as Standards Recognition Entities (SREs), which will, in turn, evaluate and recognize Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs. According to DOL, this final rule describes what entities may become recognized SREs; outlines the responsibilities and requirements for SREs, as well as the standards of the high-quality Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs the SREs will recognize; and sets forth how the Administrator will oversee SREs. Enclosed is our assessment of DOL's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. If you have any questions about this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule, please contact Shari Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-6398.
