SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act of 1972, as established 

under 29 CFR Part 75, authorizes the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

to make or guarantee loans or grants to 

finance industrial and business 

activities in rural areas. The Secretary of 

Labor must review the application for 

financial assistance for the purpose of 

certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture 

that the assistance is not calculated, or 

likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any 

employment or business activity from 

one area to another by the loan 

applicant’s business operation; or, (b) 

An increase in the production of goods, 

materials, services, or facilities in an 

area where there is not sufficient 

demand to employ the efficient capacity 

of existing competitive enterprises 

unless the financial assistance will not 

have an adverse impact on existing 

competitive enterprises in the area. The 

Employment and Training 

Administration within the Department 

of Labor is responsible for the review 

and certification process. Comments 

should address the two bases for 

certification and, if possible, provide 

data to assist in the analysis of these 

issues. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of 

December 2010.

Assistant Secretary for Employment and 

Training.

3. Background. On February 17, 2009, 

President Obama signed the Recovery 

Act into Law. Part of the Recovery Act, 

the TGAAA reauthorized and made 

substantial changes to the TAA 

program. The TGAAA amended Section 

236(a)(2)(A) of the Trade Act to increase 

the cap on TAA training funds from 

$220 million to $575 million annually 

in both FY 2009 and FY 2010 and 

capped training funds for the first 

quarter of FY 2011 (October 1, 2010 

through December 31, 2010) at 

$143,750,000, consistent with a 

projected annual allocation of $575 

million under the expected 

reauthorization of the Act. The TGAAA 

further amended Section 236(a)(2)(B) 

and (C) of the Trade Act to: 

• Require 35, rather than 25 percent 

of the training funds to be held in 

reserve; 

• Provide for a ‘‘hold harmless’’ of 25, 

rather than 85 percent; 

• Set timelines for the distribution of 

training funds; and 

• Establish specific formula factors 

that the Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) must consider in 

making those distributions. 

The final regulations that govern these 

provisions, 20 CFR 618.900—618.940, 

went into effect April 2, 2010, with the 

publication of 20 CFR 618 ‘‘Trade 

Adjustment Assistance; Merit Staffing of 

State Administration and Allocation of 

Training Funds to States; Final Rule.’’ 

Although the Recovery Act reauthorized 

the TAA program and raised the cap on 

training funds, it did not appropriate 

any funds for the TAA program. Rather, 

the Consolidated Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 

111–8, appropriated TAA 

administrative and program funds to the 

Federal Unemployment Benefits and 

Allowances (FUBA) account. The FY 

2010 distributions of funds under TEGL 

9–09 were FUBA appropriations. The 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
79420 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2010 / Notices 

FY 2011 distributions will also be FUBA 

appropriations. Therefore, separate 

tracking and reporting requirements, 

which apply specifically to Recovery 

Act funds, do not apply to the TAA 

funds provided to the States from this 

and future FUBA appropriations. 

However, as discussed in TEGL No. 

22–08, the TGAAA established new 

reporting requirements specific to the 

TAA program to increase the 

transparency and accountability of the 

program. ETA issued additional 

guidance on those requirements in 

TEGL No. 6–09, ‘‘Instructions for 

implementing the revised 2010 Trade 

Adjustment Assistance Trade Activity 

Participant Report (TAPR).’’ Funding 

amounts for each State are based upon 

TAPR data that each State submits 

quarterly. 

4. FY 2011 TAA Training Fund 

Distribution Process. As noted above, 

the TGAAA increased the cap on TAA 

training funds from $220 million 

annually to $575 million for both FY 

2009 and FY 2010. Under current 

authorization, this cap is set to expire 

December 31, 2010 and revert back to 

the $220 million level. However, there 

is a possibility that the higher cap will 

be reauthorized through FY 2011. With 

this in mind, two attachments have been 

prepared for this TEGL showing the 

State Initial Allocations for FY 2011. 

The first shows the initial allocations 

with reauthorization at the $220 million 

level and the second attachment shows 

the initial allocations with 

reauthorization at the $575 million 

level. For FY 2011, an amount equal to 

65 percent of the annual training funds 

is initially distributed to States by 

formula and 35 percent will be held in 

reserve as required by the amendments 

and 20 CFR 618.910—618.930. 

A. TAA Formula Funds: The initial 

allocation of 65 percent of training 

funds among the States will follow the 

four factors set forth in the new Section 

236(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Trade Act and 

explained in 20 CFR 618.910(f): 

1. Trend in number of workers 

covered by certifications during the 

most recent four consecutive calendar 

quarters for which data are available; 

2. Trend in number of workers 

participating in training during the most 

recent four consecutive calendar 

quarters for which data are available; 

3. Number of workers estimated to be 

participating in training during the 

fiscal year; and 

4. Estimated amount of funding 

needed to provide approved training to 

such workers during the fiscal year. 

Factor 1 will be established using the 

most recent four quarters (FY 2009 

Quarter 4 through FY 2010 Quarter 3) of 

data for certified workers by State, and 

the quarters will be weighted 40 

percent; 30 percent; 20 percent; and 10 

percent, respectively, from the most 

recent to the earliest quarter. This 

approach will establish a trend, giving 

the most recent quarters a greater impact 

on each factor than an earlier quarter 

will have. 

Factor 2 will be established using the 

most recent four quarters (FY 2009 

Quarter 4 through FY 2010 Quarter 3) of 

data for workers participating in 

training by State, and the quarters will 

be weighted 40 percent; 30 percent; 20 

percent; and 10 percent, respectively, 

from the most recent quarter to least 

recent quarter. As with Factor 1, this 

approach will establish a trend, giving 

the most recent quarters a greater impact 

on each factor than an earlier quarter 

will have. 

Factor 3 will be determined by 

dividing the weighted average number 

of training participants for the State 

determined in Factor 2 by the sum of 

the weighted averages for all States and 

multiplying the resulting ratio by the 

projected national average of training 

participants for the fiscal year, using the 

estimates underlying ETA’s most recent 

budget submission or update. 

Factor 4 will be calculated by 

multiplying the estimated number of 

participants in Factor 3 by the average 

training cost for the State. The average 

training cost will be calculated by 

dividing total training expenditures for 

the most recent four quarters by the 

average number of training participants 

for the same time period. 

Once each of the four factors has been 

determined for each State, under 20 CFR 

618.910(f)(3) all four factors will be 

assigned an equal weight. For FY 2011, 

the weight will be 25 percent of the total 

for each factor. 

Section 236(a)(2)(C)(iii) of the Trade 

Act includes a hold harmless feature. 

The statute now provides that a State’s 

initial allocation be at least 25 percent 

of the amount the State received in its 

initial allocation for the prior fiscal year. 

This requirement is codified at 20 CFR 

618.910(c). 

ETA will determine the national total 

and each State’s percentage of the 

national total for each factor. Using each 

State’s percentage of each of these 

weighted factors, ETA will determine 

the unadjusted percentage that the State 

will receive of the amount available for 

initial allocations. As provided in 20 

CFR 618.910(c), (d) and (e), allocations 

under $100,000 will be removed, and 

the statutory 25 percent hold harmless 

factor will be applied, resulting in an 

adjusted FY 2011 allocation for the 

remaining States. If the program is 

reauthorized at the $575,000,000 level, 

the percentages for all the States will 

total 100 percent of $373,750,000, 

which is 65 percent of the training cap. 

If the program reverts back to the 

$220,000,000 level, the percentages for 

all the States will total 100 percent of 

$143,000,000, which is 65 percent of the 

training cap. 

In those instances where the formula 

approach would give a State less than 

$100,000, 20 CFR 918.910(e)(2)(i) 

provides that that State will not receive 

any initial allocation, but may, where 

needed, request TAA reserve funds in 

accordance with the procedures 

described in Section B. The initial 

allocations for each State are attached. 

B. TAA Reserve Funds: Funds will not 

be distributed under the funding 

formula until the funding situation 

becomes clearer. Until that time, States 

may request reserve funds. Reserve 

funds will be distributed to States in 

accordance with 20 CFR 618.920 on an 

as-needed basis to provide monies to 

those States that experience large, 

unexpected layoffs or otherwise have 

training needs that are not met by their 

initial allocation. These funds must be 

requested using the ETA–9117 (OMB 

No. 1205–0275). 

In order to be eligible for TAA reserve 

funds, a State must demonstrate that at 

least 50 percent of its training funds 

have been expended or that it needs 

more funds to meet unusual or 

unexpected events. A State requesting 

reserve funds also must provide a 

documented estimate of expected 

funding needs through the end of the 

fiscal year. That estimate must be based 

on an analysis that includes at least the 

following: 

• The average cost of training in the 

State; 

• The expected number of 

participants in training through the end 

of the fiscal year; and 

• The remaining funds the State has 

available for training. 

C. Job Search and Relocation 

Allowances: States may also request job 

search and relocation allowances for 

adversely affected workers who have no 

reasonable expectation of obtaining 

suitable employment within their local 

commuting areas. These funds must also 

be requested using the ETA–9117 (OMB 

No. 1205–0275) and may be submitted 

at any time or in combination with a 

request for reserve training funds. 

D. TAA Program Administration 

Funds: States will receive an additional 

15 percent of all supplemental 

allocation and reserve funds for program 

administration, as provided by Section 

235A(a)(1) of the Trade Act. Not more 

than two-thirds of these additional 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2010 / Notices 79421 

funds may be used to cover 

administrative expenses, and not less 

than one-third of such funds may be 

used for the purpose of providing 

employment and case management 

services, as provided by Section 

235A(a)(2) of the Trade Act. Guidance is 

provided in TEGL No. 22–08. If the 2009 

Amendments expire, this limitation will 

change, and additional guidance will be 

provided. The administrative funds will 

be included each time funds are 

obligated to States by ETA. The program 

administration allocations for each State 

are also included in the attachment. 

E. Employment and Case 

Management Services Funds: Each State 

that receives FY 2011 TAA funds will 

receive $350,000 for the purpose of 

providing employment and case 

management services to TAA 

participants, as provided by Section 

235A(b)(1) of the Trade Act. A State that 

does not receive the $350,000 for case 

management services because it 

received no initial allocation will 

receive those funds if it subsequently 

receives a reserve funding allocation. 

5. Recapture of TAA Funds. 

Consistent with the FY 2011 TAA 

Annual Cooperative Financial 

Agreement, ETA may recapture any 

funds distributed to any State in the 

same fiscal year as they were given if it 

determines that the State will not 

expend the funds, but only after 

consultation with, and appropriate 

notification to, State officials. 

6. Action Requested. States will 

inform all appropriate staff of the 

contents of these instructions. 

7. Inquiries. States should direct all 

inquiries to the appropriate ETA 

regional office. 

8. Attachments. 

Attachment A: State Initial 

Allocations for FY 2011 at the 

$220,000,000 level. 

Attachment B: State Initial 

Allocations for FY 2011 at the

BILLING CODE P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. (Redacted), License Nos.: 

(Redacted), EA (Redacted); NRC–2010– 

0351] 

In the Matter of All Power Reactor 

Licensees and Research Reactor 

Licensees Who Transport Spent 

Nuclear Fuel; Order Modifying License 

(Effective Immediately) 

I 

The licensees identified in 

Attachment 1 to this Order have been 

issued a specific license by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or Commission) authorizing the 

possession of spent nuclear fuel and a 

general license authorizing the 

transportation of spent nuclear fuel [in 

a transportation package approved by 

the Commission] in accordance with the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

and Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Parts 50 and 71. This 

Order is being issued to all such 

licensees who transport spent nuclear 

fuel. Commission regulations for the 

shipment of spent nuclear fuel at 10 

CFR 3.37(a) require these licensees to 

maintain a physical protection system 

that meets the requirements contained 

in 10 CFR 73.37(b), (c), (d), and (e). 

II 

On September 11, 2001, terrorists 

simultaneously attacked targets in New 

York, NY, and Washington, DC, 

utilizing large commercial aircraft as 

weapons. In response to the attacks and 

intelligence information subsequently 

obtained, the Commission issued a 

number of Safeguards and Threat 

Advisories to its licensees in order to 

strengthen licensees’ capabilities and 

readiness to respond to a potential 

attack on a nuclear facility or regulated 

activity. The Commission has also 

communicated with other Federal, State 

and local government agencies and 

industry representatives to discuss and 

evaluate the current threat environment 

in order to assess the adequacy of 

security measures at licensed facilities. 

In addition, the Commission has been 

conducting a comprehensive review of 

its safeguards and security programs 

and requirements. 

As a result of its consideration of 

current safeguards and security plan 

requirements, as well as a review of 

information provided by the intelligence 

community, the Commission has 

determined that certain additional 

security measures are required to be 

implemented by licensees as prudent, 

interim measures, to address the current 

threat environment in a consistent 

manner. Therefore, the Commission is 

imposing requirements, as set forth in 

Attachment 2 of this Order, on all 

licensees identified in Attachment 1 of 

this Order.1 These additional security 

requirements, which supplement 

existing regulatory requirements, will 

provide the Commission with 

reasonable assurance that the common 

defense and security continue to be 

adequately protected in the current 

threat environment. These requirements
