or for the expansion of an existing apprenticeship program into a
new occupation or geographic area. The requirements of this section
are in addition to other requirements that may be imposed by statute
or regulation.
(b) (1) An applicant for a new or expanded apprenticeship program
under subdivision (a) shall submit to the chief a written plan that
sets out the number of new apprentices the applicant seeks to enroll
during the next five years in the new or expanded program, new
occupation, or new geographic area. The plan must include the
applicant's budget for training the new apprentices and a detailed
explanation of how the applicant intends to provide sufficient
funding to meet that budget.
(2) The applicant shall submit to the chief a written plan
providing a reasonable timetable to obtain sufficient commitments
from employers to employ the new apprentices so as to ensure, to the
extent feasible, consistent with the rates of employment for existing
programs in good standing in the applicable trade, that the new
apprentices will be employed continuously throughout the entire term
of apprenticeship.
(3) The applicant shall submit to the chief verifiable evidence
that the applicant has obtained, or will obtain, suitable and
adequate facilities to train the new apprentices. The chief, or his
or her representative, shall personally inspect the facilities within
six months after the final approval of the program.
(4) The applicant shall submit to the chief a plan for the
recruitment and selection of the new apprentices. The plan shall
include advertising of the new apprenticeship opportunities within
the geographic area and outreach to organizations that promote
apprenticeship opportunities to women and underrepresented
minorities.
(c) The chief shall not approve an application that fails to meet
any of the requirements of this section. If the chief does not
approve an application because of its failure to comply with this
section, the chief shall within 90 days provide the applicant with a
detailed explanation of the deficiencies in the application and
recommendations for addressing those deficiencies to obtain program
approval. The applicant may submit a new or amended application to
the chief within 90 days of receipt of the chief's recommendations.
The chief shall provide a detailed response to a new or amended
application within 90 days of its receipt.
