BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Workforce Investment Act; Lower 

Living Standard Income Level 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of Determination of 

Lower Living Standard Income Level. 

SUMMARY: Under Title I of the Workforce 

Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 (Pub. L. 

105–220), the Secretary of Labor 

annually determines the Lower Living 

Standard Income Level (LLSIL) for uses 

described in the law. 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 2010 and references 

the current 2009 Health and Human 

Services ‘‘Poverty Guidelines.’’ Congress 

has taken action to keep the 2009 HHS 

poverty guidelines in effect until at least 

May 31, 2010. 

DATES: Effective Date: This notice is 

effective on the date of publication in 

the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Send questions about the 

Lower Living Standard Income Level 

calculations: Mr. Samuel Wright, 

Department of Labor, Employment and 

Training Administration, 200 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Room 

S–4231, Washington, DC 20210. 

Send written youth program 

comments to: Mr. Evan Rosenberg, 

Department of Labor, Employment and 

Training Administration, 200

N–4464, Washington, DC 20210. 

For Further Information on LLSIL: 

Please contact Mr. Samuel Wright, 

Telephone 202–693–2870; Fax 202– 

693–3015 (these are not toll free 

numbers); e-mail address 

wright.samuel.e@dol.gov. 

For Further Information on Federal 

Youth Programs: Evan Rosenberg, 

Telephone 202–693–3593; Fax 202– 

693–3532 (these are not toll free 

numbers). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the 

purpose of the Workforce Investment 

Act of 1998 ‘‘to provide workforce 

investment activities, through statewide 

and local workforce investment systems, 

that increase the employment, retention, 

and earnings of participants, and 

increase occupational skill attainment 

by participants, and as a result, improve 

the quality of the workforce, reduce 

welfare dependency, and enhance the 

productivity and competitiveness of the 

Nation.’’ 

The LLSIL is used for several 

purposes under 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 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 88 / Friday, May 7, 2010 / Notices 25297 

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, eligibility for 

employed adult workers for certain 

services and for the Work Opportunity 

Tax Credit (WOTC). We encourage the 

Governors and state/local WIBs to 

consult WIA regulations and the 

preamble to the WIA Final Rule 

(published at 65 FR 49294 August 11, 

2000) for more specific guidance in 

applying the LLSIL to program 

requirements. The Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) published 

the most current poverty-level 

guidelines in the Federal Register at 74 

FR 4199–4201 on Jan. 23, 2009. The 

HHS 2009 Poverty guidelines may also 

be found on the Internet at: http:// 

aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/09fedreg.pdf. ETA 

plans to have the 2010 LLSIL available 

on its Web site at [http:// 

www.doleta.gov/llsil/2010/]. 

WIA Section 101(24) defines the 

LLSIL as ‘‘that income level (adjusted for 

regional, metropolitan, urban and rural 

differences and family size) determined 

annually by the Secretary [of Labor] 

based on the most recent lower living 

family budget issued by the Secretary.’’ 

The most recent lower living family 

budget was issued by the Secretary in 

the fall of 1981. The four-person urban 

family budget estimates, previously 

published by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS), provided the basis for 

the Secretary to determine the LLSIL. 

BLS terminated the four-person family 

budget series in 1982, after publication 

of the fall 1981 estimates. Currently, 

BLS provides data to ETA through 

which ETA develops the LLSIL tables, 

as provided in the Appendices. 

ETA published the 2009 updates to 

the LLSIL in the Federal Register of 

March 26, 2009, at 74 FR 13262. This 

notice again updates the LLSIL to reflect 

cost of living increases for 2009, by 

applying the percentage change in the 

most recent 2009 Consumer Price Index 

for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U) for an 

area, compared with the 2008 CPI–U to 

each of the March 26, 2009 LLSIL 

figures. Those updated figures for a 

family-of-four are listed in Appendix A, 

Table 1, by region for both metropolitan 

and non-metropolitan areas. Figures in 

all of the accompanying tables, in the 

Appendices, are rounded up to the 

nearest dollar. Since low income 

individuals, ‘‘disadvantaged adult’’ and 

‘‘disadvantaged youth’’ may be 

determined by family income at 70 

percent of the LLSIL, pursuant to WIA 

Sections 101(25), 127(b)(2)(C), and 

132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV), respectively, those 

figures are listed as well. 

Jurisdictions included in the various 

regions, based generally on Census 

Divisions of the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, are as follows: 

Northeast 

Connecticut 

Maine 

Massachusetts 

New Hampshire 

New Jersey

Wyoming 

Additionally, separate figures have 

been provided for Alaska, Hawaii, and 

Guam as indicated in Appendix B, 

Table 2. 

For Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam, the 

year 2009 figures were updated from the 

April, 2009 ‘‘State Index’’ based on the 

ratio of the urban change in the state 

(using Anchorage for Alaska and 

Honolulu for Hawaii and Guam) 

compared to the West regional 

metropolitan change, and then applying 

that index to the West regional 

metropolitan change. 

Data on 23 selected MSAs are also 

available. These are based on 

semiannual CPI–U changes for a 12- 

month period ending in June 2009. The 

updated LLSIL figures for these MSAs 

and 70 percent of the LLSIL are reported 

in Appendix C, Table 3. 

Appendix D, Table 4 lists each of the 

various figures at 70 percent of the 

updated 2009 LLSIL for family sizes of 

one to six persons. Because tables 1–3 

only list the LLSIL for a family of four, 

table 4 can be used to determine the 

LLSIL for families of one to six persons. 

For families larger than six persons, an 

amount equal to the difference between 

the six-person and the five-person 

family income levels should be added to 

the six-person family income level for 

each additional person in the family. 

Where the poverty level for a particular 

family size is greater than the 

corresponding LLSIL figure, the figure is 

indicated in parentheses. A modified 

Excel version of Appendix D, Table 4, 

with the area names, will be available 

on the Department of Labor, 

Employment and Training 

Administration LLSIL Webpage at 

[http://www.doleta.gov/llsil/2010/]. 

Appendix E, Table 5, indicates 100 

percent of LLSIL for family sizes of one 

to six and is used to determine selfsufficiency as noted at 20 CFR 663.230 

of the WIA regulations and WIA Section 

134(d)(3)(A)(ii). 

Use of These Data 

Governors should designate the 

appropriate LLSILs for use within the 

state from Appendices A, B, and C, 

containing Tables 1 through 3. 

Appendices D and E, which contain 

Tables 4 and 5, which adjusts a family 

of four figure for larger and smaller 

families, may be used with any LLSIL 

designated. The Governor’s designation 

may be provided by disseminating 

information on MSAs and metropolitan 

and non-metropolitan areas within the 

state or it may involve further 

calculations. For example, the State of 

New Jersey may have four or more 

LLSIL figures for Northeast 

metropolitan, Northeast nonmetropolitan, portions of the State in 

the New York City MSA, and those in 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
25298 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 88 / Friday, May 7, 2010 / Notices 

the Philadelphia MSA. If a workforce 

investment area includes areas that 

would be covered by more than one 

figure, the Governor may determine 

which is to be used. 

Under 20 CFR 661.110, a state’s 

policies and measures for the workforce 

investment system shall be accepted by 

the Secretary to the extent that they are 

consistent with the WIA and the WIA 

regulations. 

Disclaimer on Statistical Uses 

It should be noted, the publication of 

these figures is only for the purpose of 

meeting the requirements specified by 

WIA as defined in the law and 

regulations. BLS has not revised the 

lower living family budget since 1981, 

and has no plans to do so. The fourperson urban family budget estimates 

series has been terminated. The CPI–U 

adjustments used to update the LLSIL 

for this publication are not precisely 

comparable, most notably because 

certain tax items were included in the 

1981 LLSIL, but are not in the CPI–U. 

Thus, these figures should not be used 

for any statistical purposes, and are 

valid only for those purposes under 

WIA as defined in the law and 

regulations. 

Lower Living Standard Income Level 

for 2010 

Under Title I of the Workforce 

Investment Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105– 

220), the Secretary of Labor annually 

determines the Lower Living Standard 

Income Level (LLSIL). This Notice 

announces the LLSIL Tables for 2010. 

WIA requires the Department of Labor 

to update and publish the LLSIL tables 

annually. The LLSIL tables are used for 

several purposes under WIA, including 

determining eligibility for youth and for 

the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 30th day of 

April 2010.

Assistant Secretary, Employment and 

Training Administration.

Appendix D 

Table 4—Seventy Percent of Updated 2010 

Lower Living Standard Income Level 

(LLSIL), by Family Size 

To use the seventy percent LLSIL value, 

where it is stipulated for WIA programs, 

begin by locating the region or metropolitan 

area where they reside. These are listed in 

Tables 1, 2 and 3. After locating the 

appropriate region or metropolitan statistical 

area, find the seventy percent LLSIL amount 

for that location. The seventy percent LLSIL 

figures are listed in the last column to the 

right on each of the three tables. These 

figures apply to a family of four. Larger and 

smaller family eligibility is based on a 

percentage of the family of four. To 

determine eligibility for other size families 

consult Table 4 and the instructions below. 

To use Table 4, locate the seventy percent 

LLSIL value that applies to the individual’s 

region or metropolitan area from Tables 1, 2 

or 3. Find the same number in the ‘‘family of 

four’’ column of Table 4. Move left or right 

across that row to the size that corresponds 

to the individual’s family unit. That figure is 

the maximum household income the 

individual is permitted in order to qualify as 

economically disadvantaged under WIA. 

Where the HHS poverty level for a 

particular family size is greater than the 

corresponding LLSIL figure, the LLSIL figure 

appears in a shaded block. Individuals from 

these size families may consult the 2009 HHS 

poverty guidelines found in the Federal 

Register, Vol. 74, No. 14, January 23, 2009, 

pp. 4199–4201 (on the Internet at http:// 

aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/09fedreg.htm) to find 

the higher eligibility standard. Individuals 

from Alaska and Hawaii should consult the 

HHS guidelines for the generally higher 

poverty levels that apply in their states.

Table 5—Updated 2010 LLSIL (100%), By 

Family Size 

To use the LLSIL to determine the 

minimum level for establishing selfsufficiency criteria at the state or local level, 

begin by locating the metropolitan area or 

region from Table 1, 2 or 3. Then locate the 

appropriate region or metropolitan statistical 

area and then find the 2010 Adjusted LLSIL 

amount for that location. These figures apply 

to a family of four. Locate the corresponding
