SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Authority 

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 

Appendix 2), the Department of Justice 

announces the establishment of the AI/ 

AN Advisory Committee. The AI/AN 

Advisory Committee will advise the 

Attorney General on a broad array of 

issues relating to addressing the 

problem of AI/AN children exposed to 

violence in the United States. The AI/ 

AN Advisory Committee is necessary 

and in the public interest. The duration 

of the AI/AN Advisory Committee is 

one year unless renewed by the 

Attorney General. The Committee will 

terminate on December 31, 2014. It is 

anticipated that the first meeting of the 

AI/AN Task Force Advisory Committee 

will occur after October 1, 2013. 

Establishment of the AI/AN Advisory 

Committee implements a 

recommendation from the Attorney 

General’s National Task Force on 

Children Exposed to Violence. The AI/ 

AN Advisory Committee is governed by 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth 

standards for the formation and use of 

advisory committees. The AI/AN 

Advisory Committee shall advise the 

Attorney General on the pervasive 

problems associated with AI/AN 

children’s exposure to violence, and 

submit a final written report to the 

Attorney General with policy 

recommendations to address these 

issues. The AI/AN Advisory Committee 

shall conduct up to 4 public hearings 

and 6 listening sessions to explore ways 

to improve the identification, screening, 

assessment, and treatment of AI/AN 

children traumatized by violence. It will 

also identify ways AI/AN communities 

can overcome the impact of violence, 

including consultation with AI/AN 

youth. The AI/AN Advisory Committee 

will examine the needs of AI/AN 

children living in urban or rural settings 

outside of reservations and villages and 

pay special attention to issues of trauma 

that AI/AN children who have been 

convicted and sentenced to 

incarceration in the state, tribal and 

federal judicial systems may experience. 

II. Structure 

The AI/AN Advisory Committee shall 

consist of up to 13 members, including 

the Chair. Members of the Advisory 

Committee shall be chosen to ensure 

objectivity, professional expertise, and 

balance. The members and chair shall 

be selected from a cross section of 

experts who are knowledgeable about 

issues relating to AI/AN children’s 

exposure to violence. Members will 

include current and former elected 

officials, practitioners, child and family 

advocates, licensed clinicians, and other 

subject matter experts. Members will be 

appointed by the Attorney General. 

Members shall be invited to serve for 

the full term of the Advisory Committee 

(through October 31, 2014). The four (4) 

public hearings shall be held in 

locations identified by OJJDP and all 

other meetings shall be held at the call 

of the Designated Federal Officer who 

shall approve the agenda and shall be 

present at all meetings. A vacancy on 

the AI/AN Advisory Committee shall be 

filled in the manner in which the 

original appointment was made and 

shall be subject to any conditions that 

applied with respect to the original 

appointment. An individual chosen to 

fill a vacancy shall be appointed for the 

remainder of the term of the member 

replaced. The vacancy shall not affect 

the power of the remaining members to 

execute the duties of the AI/AN 

Advisory Committee. All members of 

the AI/AN Advisory Committee shall 

adhere to the conflict of interest rules 

applicable to Special Government 

Employees as such employees are 

defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a). These rules 

include relevant provisions in 18 U.S.C. 

related to criminal activity, Standards of 

Ethical Conduct for Employees of the 

Executive Branch (5 CFR part 2635), and 

Executive Order 12674 (as modified by 

Executive Order 12731). Management 

and support services shall be provided

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: American Job Centers 

(AJCs), formerly called One-Stop Career 

Centers, were established under the 

Workforce Investment Act (WIA), to 

offer training referrals, career 

counseling, job listings, and similar 

employment-related services to help 

Americans find work and enhance their 

long-term economic security. Today, 

there are 1,751 comprehensive and 963 

affiliate AJCs. By law, the AJC system 

must ensure that its programs, services, 

and facilities provide programmatic, 

communication, and physical 

accessibility to all qualified persons 

with disabilities (PWD) under Section 

504 and Titles II and III of the 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).1

The level of accessibility of the AJC 

system for PWDs may be a factor in the 

employability of the 27 million 

Americans over 16 years old with 

disabilities. Therefore, it is important 

for policymakers to understand the level 

of accessibility and to identify ways to 

improve the accessibility of the AJC 

system for PWD. 

The Evaluation of the Accessibility of 

American Job Centers (AJC) for People 

with Disabilities (PWD), funded by the 

U.S. Department of Labor, Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Policy, Chief 

Evaluation Office, will help 

policymakers and program 

administrators understand the level of 

accessibility of AJCs and identify ways 

to improve the accessibility for PWD. In 

addition to identifying the degree to 

which AJCs provide accessible services 

to PWD, the study will examine 

differences in the levels of accessibility 

by the type of accessibility required, 

such as physical, programmatic, and 

communication and the characteristics 

of AJCs (e.g., affiliate vs. 

comprehensive, or rural vs. urban) or 

the nature of AJC services provided 

(e.g., core, intensive, and training). This 

is not an audit for compliance with laws 

and regulations regarding accessibility 

for American Job Centers. Rather, the 

purpose of the study is to gather data to 

paint a broad picture about the degree 

to which American Job Centers as a 

whole are accessible to persons with 

disabilities. 

This package requests clearance for 

(1) a survey of AJC Directors, (2) semistructured interviews with AJC staff at 

100 AJCs, (3) observations related to the 

accessibility of AJC activities and 

facilities at 100 AJCs and (4) focus 

groups with AJC customers with 

disabilities at 10 AJCs. 

The survey will take place over a 

period of approximately three months. 

The survey will be administered to all 

2,714 comprehensive and affiliate AJCs 

nationwide. The survey will be 

administered via the web and recipients 

will be notified about the survey by 

mail, with email reminders. Each survey 

will take about 40 minutes, on average, 

to complete, and an 80% response rate 

is expected. 

All on-site data collection (i.e., 

interviews, observations and focus 

groups) will take place over a period of 

approximately four months. Interviews 

and observations will take place at 

approximately 100 comprehensive and 

affiliate AJCs nationwide. Between 4–5 

staff members will be interviewed in 

each AJC and each interview will last 75 

minutes, on average. Focus groups will 

involve approximately 8–10 customers 

in each group and reasonable 

accommodations for disabilities will be 

provided for all attending participants, 

as needed. Focus groups will last 

approximately 90 minutes and all 

participants will receive $25 for their 

attendance. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments: 

Currently, the Department of Labor is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

above data collection for the Evaluation 

the Accessibility of American Job 

Centers for People with Disabilities. 

Comments are requested to: 

* Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

* Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

* Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

* Minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who are 

to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses. 

III. Current Actions: At this time, the 

Department of Labor is requesting 

clearance to conduct (1) one survey of 

all comprehensive and affiliate AJC 

Directors, (2) semi-structured interviews 

and observations with staff from 100 

American Job Centers (AJCs), and (3) 

focus groups with AJC customers with 

disabilities at 10 AJCs, for the
