**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).

**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.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS**

**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/.
