Description: On January 29, 2001, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13198, creating the Office for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in the White House and centers for faith-based and community initiatives (CFBCI) in the Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Education (ED), and Justice (DOJ). President Bush charged the departmental centers with identifying statutory, regulatory, and bureaucratic barriers that stand in the way of effective faith-based and community organizations, and to ensure, consistent with the law, that these organizations have equal opportunity to compete for Federal funding and other support. In early 2002, the CFBCI and ETA developed and issued Solicitations for PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66555 Grant Application (SGA) to engage grassroots organizations in our workforce system-building. These SGAs were designed to assist faith-based and community organizations in delivering social services and strengthening their existing partnerships with the local One-Stop Career Center system, while providing additional points of entry for customers into that system. These 2002 grants embodied the Department’s principal strategy for implementing the Executive Order: Creating new avenues through which qualified organizations could participate more fully under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), while applying their particular strengths and assets in providing services to our customers. These solicitations also were derived from an ETA–CFBCI mutual premise that the involvement of faith-based and community organizations can both complement and supplement the efforts of local workforce investment systems in being accessible to and serving the training, job and career-support needs of many of our citizens. Many faith-based and community organizations offer unique services and support networks that can contribute to our mutual system-building endeavors; are trusted institutions within our poorest neighborhoods; and are home to a large number of volunteers who bring not only the transformational power of personal relationships to the provision of social service, but also a sustained allegiance to the well-being and selfsufficiency of the participants they serve. Through their daily work and specific programs, these organizations strive to achieve some common purposes shared with government— reduction of welfare dependency, attainment of occupational skills, and entry and retention of all our citizens in good-paying jobs. The President’s Management Agenda direct the Department of Labor Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to evaluate and examine the impact and outcomes of departmental programs that include faith-based and community non-profit organizations (FBCO). DOL CFBCI intends to use this data to examine the impact that receiving and managing Federal grants has on grassroots, faith-based and community organizations. Faith-based and community organizations benefit from having equal access to Federal funds.

Section 303(a)(1), Social Security Act, as implemented at 20 CFR part 603 (71 FR 56830), generally requires States to maintain the confidentiality of UC information.

The Department has determined that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has in place such safeguards for purposes of tax administration, including administration of the Federal unemployment tax and the Health Coverage Tax Credit. Specifically, Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code and IRS regulations on the confidentiality of tax return information (26 CFR 301.6103(a)–1 et seq.) are sufficient to protect the confidentiality of information consistent with the Department’s regulation. The Department has also determined that wage and claim information disclosed to the Department of Health and Human Services for purposes of the National Directory of New Hires is protected by a ‘‘security plan’’ which provides safeguards adequate to meet the requirements of the Department’s regulation. Further, laws governing information in the National Directory of New Hires impose strict controls on redisclosure and disposal of information. See, e.g., 42 U.S.C. 653(i), (j), (l), and (m). This notice is published to inform the public of the Department’s determination with respect to these agencies.

    Description: On January 29, 2001, President George W. Bush issued 
Executive Order 13198, creating the Office for Faith-Based and 
Community Initiatives in the White House and centers for faith-based 
and community initiatives (CFBCI) in the Departments of Labor (DOL),
