the Employment and Training 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, or (2) in Burlingame, California, 

at the office of ETA’s NAWS contractor, 

JBS International. The request should be 

submitted in writing to Mr. Daniel 

Carroll at ETA—carroll.daniel.j@

dol.gov—and identify the need for the 

NAWS information for commenting on 

this LSC proposal and explain why the 

NAWS public data file does not provide 

sufficient information. 

B. LSC Seeks Comments on a New 

Proposal for Estimating the Number of 

Aliens Within the Agricultural Worker 

Population Who Are Eligible for 

Services From LSC Grantees Pursuant to 

45 CFR 1626.4, Based on Sexual Abuse, 

Domestic Violence, Trafficking, or Other 

Abusive or Criminal Activities 

Several comments questioned the 

potential exclusion in the published 

estimates of certain non-U.S. citizen 

‘‘unauthorized’’ farmworkers who could 

be LSC eligible pursuant to specific antiabuse statutes, as provided in 45 CFR 

1626.4. LSC separates Basic Field 

Programs funds into Basic Field— 

General Grants and Migrant Grants in 

order to make LSC funds available 

through grantees that are best equipped 

to serve the needs of different parts of 

the population of LSC-eligible clients. 

LSC therefore needs to use the best 

available information to estimate those 

populations and direct funds 

accordingly. Notably, these estimates do 

not affect the eligibility of any 

applicants for services; the numbers are 

used only for distribution of funding. 

It is widely recognized by experts in 

the field that significant numbers of 

non-U.S. citizen farmworkers without 

work authorization are already subject 

to the abusive or criminal activities that 

would qualify them for LSC grantees’ 

services pursuant to § 1626.4. However, 

the lack of data on this population 

precluded ETA from developing a 

national number to estimate this 

population. As a result, the published 

estimates implicitly assume that no 

unauthorized farmworkers are eligible 

for LSC-funded services. 

This implicit assumption is 

inconsistent with statutes that explicitly 

authorize representation of 

unauthorized individuals who have 

been subject to abuse, sexual assault, 

trafficking, or certain other crimes and 

both public and private data that 

demonstrate that significant numbers of 

farmworkers are subject to such crimes 

and therefore eligible for LSC-funded 

services based on the provisions of 45 

CFR 1626.4. In response to these 

concerns, LSC has identified and 

assessed available sources regarding the 

extent of these crimes against 

farmworkers and developed a 

methodology to estimate the size of the 

farmworker population that would be 

eligible for LSC grantees’ services based 

on the provisions of § 1626.4. See 

Appendix A—Estimate of the 

Population of Agricultural Workers 

Eligible for LSC-Funded Services 

Pursuant to 45 CFR 1626.4—Anti-Abuse 

Law. LSC seeks feedback on the 

methodology and results produced by 

this methodology. 

C. LSC Will Accept Submission of 

Available and Reliable State- or RegionSpecific Estimates of the Population of 

Agricultural Workers Eligible for LSCFunded Services To Augment the ETA 

Estimates in Individual States or 

Regions—LSC Will Accept Such 

Estimates Only if They Include the Data 

and Methodologies Used, Including 

Authorship and Other Relevant 

Information 

Some comments raised concerns 

about the source data and the 

methodology used by ETA. In 

particular, concerns were raised about 

the types of state groupings used for 

distribution of the estimated population 

among the states, leading to 

understatements of the number of LSCeligible farmworkers in particular states. 

Specifically, comments stated that 

differences affecting agricultural 

workforces within a NAWS/NASS 

region produced inaccurate estimates 

for states within that region. Comments 

expressed the concern that states 

grouped together by geographic 

proximity did not share similarities in 

commodities or farmworker workforces. 

These comments also identified 

potential sources of more detailed 

estimates within specific states or 

regions. 

LSC investigated the possibility of 

ETA’s developing alternative estimates 

of the LSC-eligible population by 

reconfiguring the NAWS/NASS regions, 

but ETA determined that doing so is not 

feasible. 

Although the NAWS/NASS regions 

produce the best available nationwide 

and regional population estimates, LSC 

understands that the NAWS/NASS 

regions might not account for unique, 

state-specific factors that could be 

relevant to delivery of these legal 

services in some states. Therefore, LSC 

requests submission of available and 

reliable state- or region-specific 

estimates of the population of 

agricultural workers eligible for LSCfunded services to augment the ETA 

estimates in individual states or regions. 

We underscore that the estimates must 

include both the source data (and data 

description) and a detailed summary of 

the research methodology employed to 

derive the estimates. The information 

should also identify all authors and any 

relevant citations or references to those 

estimates or to materials relied upon by 

those estimates. Please note that LSC 

uses the 100%-of-poverty threshold for 

population estimates. After the close of 

the comment period, LSC will publish 

on www.lsc.gov all actual, potentially 

reliable estimates submitted and related 

information. LSC will also publish a 

notice in the Federal Register regarding 

the availability of the estimates and 

providing a comment period.

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

ASPA entry; A permit is requested to 

enter ASPA 152 (Western Bransfield 

Strait) and ASPA 153 (Eastern Dallmann 

Bay) using the ARSV Laurence M. 

Gould to capture Antarctic fish by 

trawling and trapping. The collected 

fish would be used to study the effects 

of a warming Southern Ocean on 

development of the embryos of 

Antarctic fishes. Data collected under 

this permit would be part of a long-term 

(30-year) dataset. Approximately 50 

hours of trawling would be conducted 

in ASPA 152 and approximately 20 

hours would be conducted in ASPA 

153. Sixteen traps would be set and 

allowed to soak for a total of 6 days. It 

is anticipated that approximately five 

hundred (500) individual fish 

representing four species (Notothenia 

coriiceps, Chaenocephalus aceratus, 

Champsocephalus gunnari, 

Gobionotothen gibberifrons) would be 

captured in the ASPAs and used in the 

study. Live fishes would be transported 

to the aquarium facilities at Palmer 

Station for experimentation. Breeding 

and biochemical experiments would be 

conducted. All experimental animals 

would be humanely euthanized and 

properly disposed of outside the ASPAs. 

Location 

ASPA 152 Western Bransfield Strait 

and ASPA 153 Eastern Dallmann Bay.
