A sponsor adopting a selection method under Sec. 30.5(b) (1) or (2)
and a sponsor adopting a selection method under Sec. 30.5(b)(4) who
determines that there are fewer minorities and/or women (minority and
nonminority) on its existing lists of eligibles than would reasonably be
expected in view of the analysis described in Sec. 30.4(e) shall discard
all existing eligibility lists upon adoption of the selection methods
required by this part. New eligibility pools shall be established and
lists of eligibility pools shall be posted at the sponsor's place of
business. Sponsors shall establish a reasonable period of not less than
2 weeks for accepting applications for admission to an apprenticeship
program. There shall be at least 30 days of public notice in advance of
the earliest date for application for admission to the apprenticeship
program (see Sec. 30.4(c) on affirmative action with respect to
dissemination of information). Applicants who have been placed in a pool
of eligibles shall be retained on lists of eligibles subject to
selection for a period of 2 years. Applicants may be removed from the
list at an earlier date by their request or following their failure to
respond to an apprentice job opportunity given by certified mail, return
receipt requested. Applicants who have been accepted in the program
shall be afforded a reasonable period of time in light of the customs
and practices of the industry for reporting for work. All applicants
shall be treated equally in determining such period of time. It shall be
the responsibility of the applicant to keep the sponsor informed of his
or her current mailing address. Upon request, a sponsor may restore to
the list of eligibles applicants who have been removed from the list or
who have failed to respond to an apprenticeship job opportunity.
