for Individuals With Disabilities; Notice

In accordance with section 609 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended 

by section 461 of the Workforce 

Innovation and Opportunity Act, and 

the provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act and its implementing 

regulations issued by the General 

Services Administration (GSA), the 

Department of Labor established the 

Advisory Committee on Increasing 

Competitive Integrated Employment for 

Individuals with Disabilities on 

September 15, 2014. 

The Advisory Committee on 

Increasing Competitive Integrated 

Employment for Individuals with 

Disabilities is tasked with studying and 

preparing findings, conclusions, and 

recommendations for the Secretary of 

Labor on: (1) Ways to increase the 

employment opportunities for 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 24, 2014 / Notices 77529 

individuals with intellectual or 

developmental disabilities or other 

individuals with significant disabilities 

in competitive integrated employment; 

(2) the use of the certificate program 

carried out under section 14(c) of the 

Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 

U.S.C. 214(c)) for the employment of 

individuals with intellectual or 

developmental disabilities, or other 

individuals with significant disabilities; 

and (3) ways to improve oversight of the 

use of such certificates. 

Membership consists of seven ex 

officio members: The Assistant 

Secretary of Disability Employment 

Policy, the Assistant Secretary for 

Employment and Training 

Administration, and the Administrator 

of the Wage and Hour Division of the 

Department of Labor; the Commissioner 

of the Administration on Intellectual 

and Developmental Disabilities, or the 

Commissioner’s designee; the Director 

of the Centers for Medicare and 

Medicaid Services, or the Director’s 

designee; the Commissioner of Social 

Security, or the Commissioner’s 

designee; and the Commissioner of the 

Rehabilitation Services Administration, 

or the Commissioner’s designee. 

Pursuant to the charter filed on 

September 15, 1014, it also consisted of 

approximately 10–12 representatives, 

appointed by the Secretary, with at least 

one from each of the following 

constituencies consisting of: Selfadvocates for individuals with 

intellectual or developmental 

disabilities; providers of employment 

services, including those that employ 

individuals with intellectual or 

developmental disabilities in 

competitive integrated employment; 

representatives of national disability 

advocacy organizations for adults with 

intellectual or developmental 

disabilities; experts with a background 

in academia or research and expertise in 

employment and wage policy issues for 

individuals with intellectual or 

developmental disabilities; 

representatives from the employer 

community or national employer 

organizations; and other individuals or 

representatives of organizations with 

expertise on increasing opportunities for 

competitive integrated employment for 

individuals with disabilities. 

The amended charter increases the 

number of representatives serving these 

constituencies on the committee from 

approximately 10–12 members to 

approximately 15–17 members. Given 

the scope and complexity of the issues 

the committee must address, increasing 

the committee’s size will better provide 

it with the expertise and balance of 

perspective needed to fully inform its 

recommendations. No other changes to 

the charter are being made.
