SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order 

for an individual to be eligible for a 

State unemployment compensation 

program, the claimant must meet certain 

requirements that demonstrate 

attachment to the labor force. The vast 

majority of states use past wages for this 

purpose, however, a few States use 

actual weeks of work. Information 

relative to this first test of eligibility, 

known as monetary eligibility, is 

reported on Form ETA–218, Benefit 

Rights and Experience Report. The data 

in Form ETA–218 report includes 

counts on number of individuals who 

were and were not monetarily eligible, 

those eligible for the maximum benefits, 

the number of newly eligible claimants 

categorized by potential duration, and 

the number of persons who exhausted 

benefits categorized by their actual 

duration. Authority for collection of this 

information is under Social Security Act 

Section 303(a)(6). See 42 U.S.C. 

503(a)(6). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1205–0177. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on June 

30, 2013; however, it should be noted 

that existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional information, see the related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on November 19, 2012 (77 FR 69503). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of

BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Workforce Investment Act of 1998 

(WIA); Lower Living Standard Income 

Level (LLSIL) 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Title I of WIA (Pub. L. 105– 

220) requires the U.S. Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary) to update and publish the 

LLSIL tables annually, for uses 

described in the law (including 

determining eligibility for youth). WIA 

defines the term ‘‘low income 

individual’’ as one who qualifies under 

various criteria, including an individual 

who received income for a six-month 

period that does not exceed the higher 

level of the poverty line or 70 percent 

of the LLSIL. This issuance provides the 

Secretary’s annual LLSIL for 2013 and 

references the current 2013 Health and 

Human Services ‘‘Poverty Guidelines.’’ 

DATES: This notice is effective March 19, 

2013.

Training Administration, 200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of WIA is to provide workforce 

investment activities through statewide 

and local workforce investment systems 

that increase the employment, retention, 

and earnings of participants. WIA 

programs are intended to increase the 

occupational skill attainment by 

participants and the quality of the 

workforce, thereby reducing welfare 

dependency and enhancing the 

productivity and competitiveness of the 

Nation. 

LLSIL is used for several purposes 

under the WIA. Specifically, WIA 

Section 101(25) defines the term ‘‘low 

income individual’’ for eligibility 

purposes, and Sections 127(b)(2)(C) and 

132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV) define the terms 

‘‘disadvantaged youth’’ and 

‘‘disadvantaged adult’’ in terms of the 

poverty line or LLSIL for State formula 

allotments. The governor and State/local 

workforce investment boards (WIBs) use 

the LLSIL for determining eligibility for 

youth and adults for certain services. 

ETA encourages governors and State/ 

local WIBs to consult the WIA 

regulations and the preamble to the WIA 

Final Rule (published at 65 FR 49294 

August 11, 2000) for more specific 

guidance in applying LLSIL to program 

requirements. The U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

published the most current povertylevel guidelines in the Federal Register 

on January 24, 2013 (Volume 78, 

Number 16), pp. 5182–5183. The HHS 

2013 Poverty guidelines may also be 

found on the Internet at http:// 

aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/13poverty.cfm. 

ETA plans to have the 2013 LLSIL 

available on its Web site at http:// 

www.doleta.gov/llsil/2013/.
