Renewal of the Advisory Committee on Job Corps Charter

AGENCY: Office of Job Crops, Department of Labor.

ACTION: Renewal of the Advisory Committee on Job Corps charter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that after consultation with the 
General Services Administration, it has been determined that the 
renewal of an advisory committee on Job Corps is necessary and in the 
public interest. Accordingly, the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of 
Job Corps has renewed the Advisory Committee on Job Corps charter with 
several minor revisions. The revisions are not intended to change the 
purpose or the Committee's original intent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Current Advisory Committee on Job Corps charter expires 
September 7, 2008. These proposed revisions were not intended to change 
the purpose or the Committee's original intent. The revisions were 
intended to update and align with Job Corps vision for the 21st 
century.
    The revisions are found in the following two sections of the 
Charter: A Description of the Duties for Which the Committee is 
Responsible and Termination Date.

Summary of Revisions

    <bullet> A description of the duties for which the Committee is 
responsible were slightly modified to reflect an addendum report.
    <bullet> The termination date was extended to provide sufficient 
time for Committee activities and evaluations necessary to obtain 
results needed in advising and making recommendations to the Secretary.
    The Advisory Committee on Job Corps provides advice and 
recommendations to the Secretary of Labor pertaining to the review, 
development, and implementation of policies, legislation, and 
regulations affecting Job Corps. It serves to broadly evaluate Job 
Corps program characteristics, including its purpose, goals, and 
effectiveness, efficiency, and performance measures in order to address 
the critical issues facing the provision of job training and education 
to the youth population that it serves, particularly as related to 
creating a pipeline of young workers for a demand-driven workforce.
