§ 83.3. Eligibility and procedure for Council registration.
(a) No apprenticeship program or agreement shall be eligible for Council registration unless the following apply:
(1) It is in conformity with the requirements of the chapter, and the training is in an apprenticeable occupation having the characteristics set forth in § 83.4 (relating to criteria for apprenticeable occupations).
(2) It is in conformity with the requirements of Chapter 81 (relating to equal opportunity in apprenticeship programs).
(b) Apprentices shall be individually registered under a registered program. Such registration shall be effected by submitting three copies of each apprenticeship agreement to the Council for approval. The Council will promptly determine whether the agreement conforms with the established standards. If the agreement does not so conform, the Council will authorize the Director to return the agreement to the Sponsor so that it can be modified or changed by the parties to the agreement so that it is in conformity.
(c) The Council shall be promptly notified by the Sponsor of the cancellation or suspension of any apprenticeship agreements, with cause for same, and of apprenticeship completions.
(d) Upon receipt of a request for registration of any apprenticeship program, the Council will promptly determine whether the standards of apprenticeship conform to the requirements of the act and this chapter, whether the proposed training is in an apprenticeable occupation, and whether the program is in conformity with the requirements of the State Plan for Equal Employment in Apprenticeship. If the program is approved, the Council will authorize the Director to register the program and issue a Certificate of Registration as evidence of registration.
(e) Modifications or changes to registered or certified programs shall be promptly submitted in writing to the Director and, if approved by the Council, shall be recorded and acknowledged as an amendment to the program.
(f) Documents and data required by this chapter in connection with a request for registration of an apprenticeship program shall be submitted in triplicate.
(g) Under a program proposed for registration by an employer or employers’ association, where the standards, collective bargaining agreement or other instrument provide for participation by a union in any manner in the operation of the substantive matters of the apprenticeship program, and such participation is exercised, written acknowledgement of union agreement or ‘‘no objection’’ to the registration is required. Where no such participation is evidenced and practiced, the employer or employers’ association shall simultaneously furnish to the union local, if any, which is the recognized or certified collective bargaining agent of the employes to be trained, a copy of its application for registration and of the apprenticeship program. In addition, upon receipt of the application and apprenticeship program, the Director shall promptly send by certified mail to such local union, another copy of the application and of the apprenticeship program together with notice that union comments will be accepted for 30 days after the date of the Director’s transmittal.
(h) Where the employes to be trained have no collective bargaining agent, an apprenticeship program may be proposed for registration by an employer or group of employers.
