exemption, some aspects of these
transactions might be prohibited under
Section 406 of Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). A
plan fiduciary needs the collected
information to meet its fiduciary

beneficiaries under ERISA section
404(a), which, among other things,
require a fiduciary to discharge his
duties respecting the plan solely in the
interest of the plan’s participants and
beneficiaries and in a prudent fashion

lending transactions qualify for
exemptive relief. The Department uses
the information to (1) ensure that the
rights of participants and beneficiaries
are protected, (2) effectively enforce the
terms of the class exemption and (3)
ensure user compliance. For additional
information, see related notice
published in the Federal Register on

Announcement of the Tools for
America’s Job Seekers Challenge
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Labor’s (DOL) Employment and
Training Administration (ETA), in
conjunction with the White House and
IdeaScale, is launching the Tools for
America’s Job Seekers Challenge. Using
an on-line platform designed by
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:23 Dec 14, 2009
Jkt 220001
IdeaScale, the Challenge will allow
toolmakers and developers to present
their on-line job tools to workforce
development experts and job seekers to
explore, discuss, and recommend. The
tools that receive the most
recommendations will be shared
broadly with the workforce investment
system and job seekers, allowing
workforce system decision-makers to
easily access the recommendations of
their peers and customers. Workforce
system decision-makers can use this
feedback to inform their decisions about
which tools to make available through
One-Stop Career Centers, State job
banks, and other Internet-based
resources. Selection of a tool does not
constitute an official endorsement by
DOL or ETA: This is not an opportunity
to apply for government funding, and
ETA will not make any funds available
to any party pursuant to this
announcement.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a fastchanging marketplace, it is difficult for
job seekers and the nation’s almost
3,000 One-Stop Career Centers to keep
up with state of the art on-line job
search and career advancement tools.
Therefore, DOL and ETA are
challenging enterprising entrepreneurs
and organizations to showcase their online solutions through a platform that
allows workforce system decisionmakers and job seeker customers to
explore, comment on, and recommend
tools. The Challenge will help the
workforce investment system uncover
the most effective on-line tools. ETA
will work with Federal, State, and local
workforce system professionals and
partners at the conclusion of the
Challenge to deploy the tools in the
most efficient way throughout the
workforce system, to help quickly
connect job seekers to the jobs currently
available in the economy.
The Challenge will be run in three
phases. Phase One will operate from
November 30, 2009 to December 18,
2009. ETA encourages entrepreneurs
and organizations to help develop an
inventory of on-line job search and
career advancement tools by submitting
information on their tools at
www.DOLChallenge.Ideascale.com.
Although DOL is primarily interested in
identifying tools that are free for the use
of America’s jobseekers, tools with a fee
may be submitted as long as the
submitter provides a short-term demo
site or other platform that allows the
tools to be reviewed free of charge in
Phase 2 of the Challenge. After the
Challenge has been completed, the
workforce development system and job
seekers can decide whether to buy or
PO 00000
Frm 00107
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
license such tools. DOL will accept
submissions from businesses and
entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations,
and State and local workforce agencies.
Participating tools will be classified into
one or more of these categories:
• General job boards, listing sites, and
aggregators
• Niche job boards
• Career tools such as ladders,
transition tools, etc.
• Web-based career exploration sites
• Web 2.0/social media sites
specializing in job searches or job
postings
• Other job matching and career
advancement tools
Along with the tool itself, ETA will
ask developers to provide basic
information such as the target uses and
users of the tool or product, and contact
information. At their option, developers
may also submit a YouTube video of
their tool in action or other tool-related
materials.
Phase Two will operate from January
4 to January 15, 2010. Workforce
development professionals and job
seekers are invited to test-drive the tools
and recommend those they find useful.
Reviewers are encouraged to
recommend tools based on: (1) How
effective the tool is in providing
accurate results—including how well
the tool reflects jobs available in the
target labor market; (2) how efficient the
tool is in completing job search and
matching tasks in a reasonable amount
of time; and (3) the level of satisfaction
the user experienced. Reviewers may
recommend as many tools as they wish,
and are encouraged to comment on the
tools to provide more feedback on their
experience with the tools. Phase Three
will begin at the end of January. DOL
and ETA will publish the top tools in
each category, allowing workforce
system decision-makers to easily access
the recommendations of their peers and
customers, and use this feedback to
inform their decisions about which tools
to make available through One-Stop
Career Centers, State job banks, and
other Internet-based resources.
As a result of the Challenge, the
workforce development system will
have increased awareness of on-line
tools that can help meet the job
information needs of the significantly
increased number of customers
requiring service in the current
economic recovery effort.
