FR 11695, 11697 (2005)). See also Floyd
A. Santner, M.D., 55 FR 37581 (1990). In
short, Respondent was not engaged in
the legitimate practice of medicine, but
rather, was dealing drugs.
Accordingly, Respondent’s experience
in dispensing controlled substances and
his record of compliance with
applicable laws makes plain that his
continued registration would ‘‘be
inconsistent with the public interest.’’
21 U.S.C. 824(a)(4). Moreover, for the
same reasons which led me to find that
Respondent posed ‘‘an imminent danger
to the public health or safety,’’ id.
section 824(d), I conclude that the
public interest requires that his
registration be revoked effective
immediately and his pending
application for renewal be denied. See
21 CFR 1316.67.
Order
Pursuant to the authority vested in me
by 21 U.S.C. 823(f) & 824(a), as well as

Workforce Investment Act; Lower
Living Standard Income Level
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of determination of lower
living standard income level.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Under Title I of the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 (Pub. L.
105–220), the Secretary of Labor
annually determines the Lower Living
Standard Income level (LLSIL) for uses
described in the law. WIA defines the
term ‘‘Low Income Individual’’ as one
who qualifies under various criteria,
including an individual who received
income for a six-month period that does
not exceed the higher level of the
poverty line or 70 percent of the LLSIL.
This issuance provides the Secretary’s
annual LLSIL for 2007 and references
the current 2007 Health and Human
Services ‘‘Poverty Guidelines.’’
DATES: Effective Date: This notice is
effective on the date of publication in
the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to:
Mr. Evan Rosenberg, Department of
Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, 200 Constitution

Washington, DC 20210.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Please contact Mr. Evan Rosenberg,
telephone 202–693–3593; fax 202–693–
3532 (these are not toll free numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the
purpose of the Workforce Investment
Act of 1998 ‘‘to provide workforce
investment activities, through statewide
and local workforce investment systems,
E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM
04JNN1
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 106 / Monday, June 4, 2007 / Notices
that increase the employment, retention,
and earnings of participants, and
increase occupational skill attainment
by participants, and as a result, improve
the quality of the workforce, reduce
welfare dependency, and enhance the
productivity and competitiveness of the
Nation.’’
The LLSIL is used for several
purposes under WIA. Specifically, WIA
Section 101(25) defines the term ‘‘low
income individual’’ for eligibility
purposes, and Sections 127(b)(2)(C) and
132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV) define the terms
‘‘disadvantaged youth’’ and
‘‘disadvantaged adult’’ in terms of the
poverty line or LLSIL for state formula
allotments. The Governor and state/
local workforce investment boards
(WIBs) use the LLSIL for determining
eligibility for youth, eligibility for
employed adult workers for certain
services and for the Work Opportunity
Tax Credit (WOTC). We encourage the
Governors and state/local WIBs to
consult WIA regulations and the
preamble to the WIA Final Rule
(published at 65 FR 49294 August 11,
2000) for more specific guidance in
applying the LLSIL to program
requirements. The Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) published
the annual 2007 update of the povertylevel guidelines in the Federal Register
at 72 FR 3147–3148 on January 24,
2007. The HHS 2007 Poverty guidelines
may also be found on the Internet at:
https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/
07fedreg.htm. ETA plans to have the
2007 LLSIL available on its Web site at
https://www.doleta.gov/llsil/.
WIA Section 101(24) defines the
LLSIL as ‘‘that income level (adjusted
for regional, metropolitan, urban and
rural differences and family size)
determined annually by the Secretary
[of Labor] based on the most recent
lower living family budget issued by the
Secretary.’’ The most recent lower living
family budget was issued by the
Secretary in the fall of 1981. The fourperson urban family budget estimates,
previously published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS), provided the
basis for the Secretary to determine the
LLSIL. BLS terminated the four-person
family budget series in 1982, after
publication of the fall 1981 estimates.
Currently, BLS provides data to ETA
through which it develops the LLSIL
tables.
ETA published the 2006 updates to
the LLSIL in the Federal Register of
June 1, 2006, at 71 FR 31215. This
notice again updates the LLSIL to reflect
cost of living increases for 2006, by
applying the percentage change in the
December 2006, Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U),
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
compared with the December 2005,
CPI–U to each of the June 1, 2006, LLSIL
figures. Those updated figures for a
family-of-four are listed in Table 1, by
region for both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. Figures in all of the
accompanying tables are rounded up to
the nearest tenth. Since low income
individuals, ‘‘disadvantaged adult’’ and
‘‘disadvantaged youth’’ may be
determined by family income at 70
percent of the LLSIL, pursuant to WIA
Sections 101(25), 127(b)(2)(C), and
132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV), respectively, those
figures are listed below as well.
Jurisdictions included in the various
regions, based generally on Census
Divisions of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, are as follows:
Northeast
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, and Virgin Islands.
Midwest
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South
Dakota, and Wisconsin.
South
Alabama, American Samoa, Arkansas,
Delaware, District of Columbia,
Florida, Georgia, Northern Marianas,
Oklahoma, Palau, Puerto Rico, South
Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Marshall Islands, Maryland,
Micronesia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
and West Virginia.
West
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon, Utah, Washington, and
Wyoming.
Additionally, separate figures have
been provided for Alaska, Hawaii, and
Guam as indicated in Table 2.
For Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam, the
year 2006 figures were updated from the
June 1, 2006, ‘‘State Index’’ based on the
ratio of the urban change in the state
(using Anchorage for Alaska and
Honolulu for Hawaii and Guam)
compared to the West regional
metropolitan change, and then applying
that index to the West regional
metropolitan change.
Data on 23 selected MSAs are also
available. These are based on
semiannual CPI–U changes for a 12month period ending in December 2006.
The updated LLSIL figures for these
MSAs and 70 percent of the LLSIL are
reported in Table 3.
PO 00000
Frm 00117
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
30859
Table 4 below lists each of the various
figures at 70 percent of the updated
2007 LLSIL for family sizes of one to six
persons. For families larger than six
persons, an amount equal to the
difference between the six-person and
the five-person family income levels
should be added to the six-person
family income level for each additional
person in the family. Where the poverty
level for a particular family size is
greater than the corresponding LLSIL
figure, the figure is indicated in
parentheses. Table 5, 100 percent of
LLSIL, is used to determine selfsufficiency as noted at 20 CFR 663.230
of WIA Regulations and WIA Section
134(d)(3)(A)(ii).
Use of These Data
Governors should designate the
appropriate LLSILs for use within the
state from Tables 1 through 3. Tables 4
and 5 may be used with any of the
levels designated. The Governor’s
designation may be provided by
disseminating information on MSAs and
metropolitan and non-metropolitan
areas within the state, or it may involve
further calculations. For example, the
State of New Jersey may have four or
more LLSIL figures for Northeast
metropolitan, Northeast nonmetropolitan, portions of the State in
the New York City MSA, and those in
the Philadelphia MSA. If a workforce
investment area includes areas that
would be covered by more than one
figure, the Governor may determine
which is to be used.
Under 20 CFR 661.110, a state’s
policies and measures for the workforce
investment system shall be accepted by
the Secretary to the extent that they are
consistent with the WIA and the WIA
regulations.
Disclaimer on Statistical Uses
It should be noted, the publication of
these figures is only for the purpose of
meeting the requirements specified by
WIA as defined in the law and
regulations. BLS has not revised the
lower living family budget since 1981,
and has no plans to do so. The fourperson urban family budget estimates
series has been terminated. The CPI–U
adjustments used to update the LLSIL
for this publication are not precisely
comparable, most notably because
certain tax items were included in the
1981 LLSIL, but are not in the CPI–U.
Thus, these figures should not be used
for any statistical purposes, and are
valid only for those purposes under
WIA as defined in the law and
regulations.

Table 5.—Updated 2007 LLSIL (100%),
by Family Size
To use the LLSIL to determine the
minimum level for establishing selfsufficiency criteria at the state or local
level, begin by locating the metropolitan
area or region from Table 1, 2 or 3. The
individual must locate their region or
metropolitan statistical area and then
find the 2007 Adjusted LLSIL amount
for that location. These figures apply to
a family of four. Locate the
corresponding number in the family of
four in the column below. Move left or
right across that row to the size that
corresponds to the individual’s family
unit. That figure is the minimum figure
States must set for determining whether
employment leads to self-sufficiency
under WIA programs.

of other areas of the country as High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas
(HIDTA). The HIDTA Program provides
federal resources to those areas to help
eliminate or reduce drug trafficking and
its harmful consequences. Law
enforcement organizations within
HIDTAs assess drug trafficking
problems and design specific initiatives
to reduce of eliminate the production,
manufacture, transportation,
distribution, and use of illegal drugs and
money laundering.
When designating a new HIDTA or
adding counties to existing HIDTAs, the
Director of ONDCP consults with the
Attorney General, Secretary of
Homeland Security, Secretary of
Treasury, heads of national drug control
agencies, and the appropriate governors,
and considers the extent to which—
(1) The area is a significant center of
illegal drug production, manufacturing,
importation, or distribution;
(2) State, local, and tribal law
enforcement agencies have committed
resources to respond to the drug
trafficking problem in the area, thereby
indicating a determination to respond
aggressively to the problem;
(3) Drug-related activities in the area
are having a significant harmful impact
in the area, and in other areas of the
country; and
(4) A significant increase in allocation
of Federal resources is necessary to
respond adequately to drug-related
activities in the area.
The HIDTA Program helps improve
the effectiveness and efficiency of drug
control efforts by facilitating
cooperation among drug control
organizations through resource and
information sharing, collocation, and
implementing joint initiatives. HIDTA
funds help Federal, State, local, and
tribal law enforcement organizations
invest in infrastructure and joint
initiatives to confront drug trafficking
organizations.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Workforce Investment Act; Lower Living Standard Income Level
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of determination of lower living standard income level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998
(Pub. L. 105-220), the Secretary of Labor annually determines the Lower
Living Standard Income level (LLSIL) for uses described in the law. WIA
defines the term ``Low Income Individual'' as one who qualifies under
various criteria, including an individual who received income for a
six-month period that does not exceed the higher level of the poverty
line or 70 percent of the LLSIL. This issuance provides the Secretary's
annual LLSIL for 2007 and references the current 2007 Health and Human
Services ``Poverty Guidelines.''
DATES: Effective Date: This notice is effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to: Mr. Evan Rosenberg, Department of
Labor, Employment and Training Administration, 200 Constitution Avenue,
NW., Room N-4464, Washington, DC 20210.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please contact Mr. Evan Rosenberg,
telephone 202-693-3593; fax 202-693-3532 (these are not toll free
numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the purpose of the Workforce
Investment Act of 1998 ``to provide workforce investment activities,
through statewide and local workforce investment systems,
[[Page 30859]]
that increase the employment, retention, and earnings of participants,
and increase occupational skill attainment by participants, and as a
result, improve the quality of the workforce, reduce welfare
dependency, and enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the
Nation.''
The LLSIL is used for several purposes under WIA. Specifically, WIA
Section 101(25) defines the term ``low income individual'' for
eligibility purposes, and Sections 127(b)(2)(C) and 132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV)
define the terms ``disadvantaged youth'' and ``disadvantaged adult'' in
terms of the poverty line or LLSIL for state formula allotments. The
Governor and state/local workforce investment boards (WIBs) use the
LLSIL for determining eligibility for youth, eligibility for employed
adult workers for certain services and for the Work Opportunity Tax
Credit (WOTC). We encourage the Governors and state/local WIBs to
consult WIA regulations and the preamble to the WIA Final Rule
(published at 65 FR 49294 August 11, 2000) for more specific guidance
in applying the LLSIL to program requirements. The Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) published the annual 2007 update of the
poverty-level guidelines in the Federal Register at 72 FR 3147-3148 on
January 24, 2007. The HHS 2007 Poverty guidelines may also be found on
the Internet at: https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/07fedreg.htm. ETA plans to
have the 2007 LLSIL available on its Web site at https://www.doleta.gov/
llsil/.
WIA Section 101(24) defines the LLSIL as ``that income level
(adjusted for regional, metropolitan, urban and rural differences and
family size) determined annually by the Secretary [of Labor] based on
the most recent lower living family budget issued by the Secretary.''
The most recent lower living family budget was issued by the Secretary
in the fall of 1981. The four-person urban family budget estimates,
previously published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), provided
the basis for the Secretary to determine the LLSIL. BLS terminated the
four-person family budget series in 1982, after publication of the fall
1981 estimates. Currently, BLS provides data to ETA through which it
develops the LLSIL tables.
ETA published the 2006 updates to the LLSIL in the Federal Register
of June 1, 2006, at 71 FR 31215. This notice again updates the LLSIL to
reflect cost of living increases for 2006, by applying the percentage
change in the December 2006, Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U), compared with the December 2005, CPI-U to each of
the June 1, 2006, LLSIL figures. Those updated figures for a family-of-
four are listed in Table 1, by region for both metropolitan and non-
metropolitan areas. Figures in all of the accompanying tables are
rounded up to the nearest tenth. Since low income individuals,
``disadvantaged adult'' and ``disadvantaged youth'' may be determined
by family income at 70 percent of the LLSIL, pursuant to WIA Sections
101(25), 127(b)(2)(C), and 132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV), respectively, those
figures are listed below as well.
Jurisdictions included in the various regions, based generally on
Census Divisions of the U.S. Department of Commerce, are as follows:
Northeast
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virgin Islands.
Midwest
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
South
Alabama, American Samoa, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia,
Florida, Georgia, Northern Marianas, Oklahoma, Palau, Puerto Rico,
South Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, Marshall Islands, Maryland,
Micronesia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
and West Virginia.
West
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Additionally, separate figures have been provided for Alaska,
Hawaii, and Guam as indicated in Table 2.
For Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam, the year 2006 figures were updated
from the June 1, 2006, ``State Index'' based on the ratio of the urban
change in the state (using Anchorage for Alaska and Honolulu for Hawaii
and Guam) compared to the West regional metropolitan change, and then
applying that index to the West regional metropolitan change.
Data on 23 selected MSAs are also available. These are based on
semiannual CPI-U changes for a 12-month period ending in December 2006.
The updated LLSIL figures for these MSAs and 70 percent of the LLSIL
are reported in Table 3.
Table 4 below lists each of the various figures at 70 percent of
the updated 2007 LLSIL for family sizes of one to six persons. For
families larger than six persons, an amount equal to the difference
between the six-person and the five-person family income levels should
be added to the six-person family income level for each additional
person in the family. Where the poverty level for a particular family
size is greater than the corresponding LLSIL figure, the figure is
indicated in parentheses. Table 5, 100 percent of LLSIL, is used to
determine self-sufficiency as noted at 20 CFR 663.230 of WIA
Regulations and WIA Section 134(d)(3)(A)(ii).
Use of These Data
Governors should designate the appropriate LLSILs for use within
the state from Tables 1 through 3. Tables 4 and 5 may be used with any
of the levels designated. The Governor's designation may be provided by
disseminating information on MSAs and metropolitan and non-metropolitan
areas within the state, or it may involve further calculations. For
example, the State of New Jersey may have four or more LLSIL figures
for Northeast metropolitan, Northeast non-metropolitan, portions of the
State in the New York City MSA, and those in the Philadelphia MSA. If a
workforce investment area includes areas that would be covered by more
than one figure, the Governor may determine which is to be used.
Under 20 CFR 661.110, a state's policies and measures for the
workforce investment system shall be accepted by the Secretary to the
extent that they are consistent with the WIA and the WIA regulations.
Disclaimer on Statistical Uses
It should be noted, the publication of these figures is only for
the purpose of meeting the requirements specified by WIA as defined in
the law and regulations. BLS has not revised the lower living family
budget since 1981, and has no plans to do so. The four-person urban
family budget estimates series has been terminated. The CPI-U
adjustments used to update the LLSIL for this publication are not
precisely comparable, most notably because certain tax items were
included in the 1981 LLSIL, but are not in the CPI-U. Thus, these
figures should not be used for any statistical purposes, and are valid
only for those purposes under WIA as defined in the law and
regulations.

Lower Living Standard Income Level for 2007
Under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-
220) (WIA), the Secretary of Labor annually determines the Lower Living
Standard Income Level (LLSIL). This Notice announces the LLSIL Tables
for 2007. WIA requires the Department of Labor to update and publish
the LLSIL tables annually. The LLSIL tables are used for several
purposes under WIA, determining eligibility for youth and for the Work
Opportunity Tax Credit.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day, of May, 2007.

Table 4.--Seventy Percent of Updated 2007 Lower Living Standard Income
Level (LLSIL), by Family Size
To use the seventy percent LLSIL value, where it is stipulated for
WIA programs, individuals must begin by locating the region or
metropolitan area where they reside. These are listed in Tables 1, 2
and 3. Individuals must locate their region or metropolitan statistical
area and then find the seventy percent LLSIL amount for that location.
The seventy percent LLSIL figures are listed in the last column to the
right on each of the three tables. These figures apply to a family of
four. Larger and smaller family eligibility is based on a percentage of
the family of four. To determine eligibility for other size families
consult the table below.
To use Table 4, locate the seventy percent LLSIL value that applies
to the
[[Page 30861]]
individual's region or metropolitan area from Tables 1, 2 or 3. Find
the same number in the ``family of four'' column of Table 4. Move left
or right across that row to the size that corresponds to the
individual's family unit. That figure is the maximum household income
the individual is permitted in order to qualify as economically
disadvantaged under WIA.
Where the HHS poverty level for a particular family size is greater
than the corresponding LLSIL figure, the LLSIL figure appears in a
shaded block. Individuals from these size families may consult the 2007
HHS poverty guidelines found in the Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 15,
January 24, 2007, pp. 3147-3148 (on the Internet at https://
aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/07fedreg.htm) to find the higher eligibility
standard. Individuals from Alaska and Hawaii should consult the HHS
guidelines for the generally higher poverty levels that apply in their
states.

Table 5.--Updated 2007 LLSIL (100%), by Family Size
To use the LLSIL to determine the minimum level for establishing
self-sufficiency criteria at the state or local level, begin by
locating the metropolitan area or region from Table 1, 2 or 3. The
individual must locate their region or metropolitan statistical area
and then find the 2007 Adjusted LLSIL amount for that location. These
figures apply to a family of four. Locate the corresponding number in
the family of four in the column below. Move left or right across that
row to the size that corresponds to the individual's family unit. That
figure is the minimum figure States must set for determining whether
employment leads to self-sufficiency under WIA programs.
