DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice of Reestablishment; Federal Advisory Committee Act;
Federal Committee on Apprenticeship; Federal Committee on Registered
Apprenticeship
Notice is hereby given that after consultation with the General
Services Administration, it has been determined that the
reestablishment of a national advisory committee on apprenticeship is
necessary and in the public interest. Accordingly, the Employment and
Training Administration has chartered the Federal Committee on
Registered Apprenticeship (FCRA) which succeeds the Federal Committee
on Apprenticeship (FCA). The charter for the FCA expired on January 26,
1998.
The FCRA will be an effective instrument to provide advice and
recommendations to the Secretary.
(1) In the development and implementation of administration
policies on legislation and regulations affecting apprenticeship;
(2) On the preparation of the American Workforce for sustained
employment through employment and training programs for youth,
disadvantaged adults, dislocated workers; and other targeted groups;
(3) Regarding measures that will foster quality workplaces that are
safe, healthy, and fair; and
(4) In the implementation of the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training's Child Care Development Specialist Initiative to promote and
develop Child Care Apprenticeship Programs.
The Advisory Committee will also provide advice to the Secretary of
Labor on ways to achieve the strategic goals set forth in the
Department of Labor's Plans required under the Government Performance
and Results Act of 1993 and in how to develop systems to measure the
achievement of the Department of Labor's goals and objectives. The
Committee will consist of seven representatives of employers, seven
representatives of labor, and
[[Page 3573]]
seven representatives of the public. The National Association of State
and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors and the National Association
of Governmental Labor officials will have representation on the public
group of the Committee. The Secretary shall appoint one of the public
members as Chairperson of the Advisory Committee. A representative of
the U.S. Department of Education and a representative of the Department
of Commerce will be invited to serve as non-voting ``ex-officio''
members of the Committee. The Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Employment and Training shall be a member ex-officio. The Director of
the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training shall be the designated
Federal official for the Advisory Committee.
The Committee will function solely as an advisory body and in
compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
Its charter is being filed at this time in accordance with approval by
the General Services Administration Secretariat pursuant to 41 CFR 101-
6.1015a(a)(2).
Signed at Washington, DC this 28th day of December 1998.
Alexis M. Herman,
Secretary of Labor.
