DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

20 CFR Part 638

Job Corps: Allowances and Allotments

AGENCY: Employment and Training

Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Job Corps is amending its

regulations on student allowances and

allotments. The objectives are: to

increase the length of enrollment

requirements for readjustment

allowance eligibility, in order to

encourage students to lengthen their

enrollment and maximize Job Corps

offerings and benefits; and to amend the

allotment section to coincide with

revisions in readjustment allowance

accrual.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 15, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Dana Davidson Johnson, Office of Job

Corps, Division of Program Management

and Review. Telephone: (202) 219–6568

(this is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Job Corps

is implementing a new pay and

allotment system which will provide

students with enough money to meet

their basic needs, while adding greater

incentives than are available in the

current system to encourage student

retention, performance, program

completion, and length of enrollment.

The rule enables the Job Corps Director

to increase the number of paid days for

eligibility for readjustment allowances.

This will encourage students to stay in

the program longer. Students thus can

be better prepared for employment,

particularly because this added time

will encourage students to acquire

social skills along with vocational and

academic training.

Payroll will be conducted on a

biweekly schedule versus the current

twice-monthly procedure. The rule ties

into the implementation of the new

Student Pay, Allowance and

Management Information System

(SPAMIS) utilized by Job Corps. The

new pay system will be much more

responsive than the current system,

with individual student pay levels and

leave status maintained on a current

basis and status changes made by the

Job Corps Centers as they occur. The

rule allows the accrual of readjustment

allowances to be set for each paid day

and allotments to be processed on a

biweekly basis.

This was published as a proposed

rule, with a request for comments, on

November 1, 1994, 59 FR 54539–54540.

Only one comment was received in

response to the proposed rule—the

Georgia Department of Labor encourages

Job Corps to promulgate the rule in final

as proposed. The Department of Labor

agrees and in this document is doing so.

This rule applies only to allowances

and allotments for Job Corps students.

The rule is not classified as a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory

Planning and Review’’. It does not (1)

materially alter the budgetary impact of

entitlements or the rights and

obligations of recipients thereof; or (2)

raise novel legal or policy issues arising

out of legal mandates in the President’s

priorities. It is not likely (3) to result in

having an annual effect on the economy

of $100 million or more; or (4) to create

a serious inconsistency or interfere with

action taken or planned by another

agency. As required by the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, the Department of Labor

at the time the proposed rule was

published, notified the Chief Counsel

for Advocacy, Small Business

Administration, and made the

certification pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b)

that this rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

Final Rule

Accordingly, 20 CFR part 638 is

amended as follows:

1. The authority for part 638

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 29 U.S.C. 1579(a).

ensure that each student receives a

readjustment allowance for each paid

day of satisfactory participation in Job

Corps after termination from the

program if he/she terminates after 210

days in pay status or after 180 days if

he/she is a maximum benefits or

vocational completer. In the event that

a student receives a medical

termination, he/she shall be eligible for

the accrued readjustment allowance,

regardless of length of stay or other

considerations. See also paragraph (d) of

this section. (Section 429(c)).

(c) The Job Corps Director shall

establish procedures to allow students

to authorize deductions from their

readjustment allowance, which shall be

matched by an equal amount from Job

Corps funds and sent biweekly as an

allotment by the SPAMIS Data Center to

the student’s spouse, child(ren) or other

dependent, if such spouse, child(ren) or

other dependent resides in any State in

the United States.
