(3)The commission, by regulation, shall require each person subject to this chapter

which controls an apprenticeship or other training program to keep all records

reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose of the chapter, including, but not

the chronological order in which applications were received, and shall furnish to the

commission upon request, a detailed description of the manner in which persons are

selected to participate in the apprenticeship or other training programs.

(4)A person who believes that the application to it of a regulation or order issued under

this section would result in undue hardship may apply to the commission for an

exemption from the application of the regulation or order. If the commission finds

that the application of the regulation or order to the person in question would

impose an undue hardship, the commission may grant appropriate relief.

(5)So as to avoid undue burdens on persons subject to this chapter, records and reports

required by the commission under this section shall conform as near as may be to

similar records and reports required by federal law and the laws of other states and

to customary record-keeping practice.
