ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This Notice announces PY 2011 WIA Title I Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker Activities program allotments for outlying areas. The WIA allotments for the outlying areas are based on a formula determined by the Secretary. As required by WIA section 182(d), on February 17, 2000, a Notice of the discretionary formula for allocating PY 2000 funds for the outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Northern Marianas, Palau, and the Virgin Islands) was published in the Federal Register at 65 FR 8236 (February 17, 2000). The rationale for the formula and methodology was fully explained in the February 17, 2000, Federal Register Notice. The formula for PY 2011 is the same as used for PY 2000 and is described in the section on Youth Activities program allotments. Comments are invited on the formula used to allot funds to the outlying areas. DATES: Comments on the formula used to allot funds to the outlying areas must be received by July 5, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) is announcing PY 2011 WIA Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker program allotments to outlying areas. The allotments are based on the funds appropriated in the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, Public Law 112–10, signed April 15, 2011. This appropriation requires an across-the-board rescission of 0.2 percent to all Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 discretionary program funding. Included in this Notice are tables listing the PY 2011 allotments (including the 0.2 percent rescission) for programs under WIA Title I Youth Activities (Table A), Adult Activities (Table B) and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities (Table C). On December 17, 2003, Public Law 108–188, the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003 (‘‘the Compact’’), was signed. The Compact provided for consolidation of WIA Title I funding for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia into supplemental education grants provided from the Department of Education’s appropriation. See 48 USC 1921d(f)(1)(B)(iii). The Compact also specified that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIA Title I funding. See 48 USC 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111–117) (in the Department Of Education’s General Provisions at Section 309, Title III, Division D) amended the Compact to extend the availability of WIA Title I funding to Palau through FY 2010. Section 1104 of the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, further extended the same funding to Palau through FY 2011. Youth Activities Allotments. PY 2011 Youth Activities funds for outlying areas total $2,064,785 (including the 0.2 percent rescission). Table A includes a breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments for States (as previously shared) and each of the five outlying areas. Before determining the amount available for States, the total funding available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for Youth Activities (after the 0.2 percent rescission). The methodology for distributing funds to all outlying areas is not specified by WIA, but is at the Secretary’s discretion. The methodology used is the same as used since PY 2000, i.e., funds are distributed among the PO 00000 Frm 00098 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 remaining outlying areas by formula based on relative share of number of unemployed, a 90 percent holdharmless of the prior year share, a $75,000 minimum, and a 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year share. As in PY 2010, data for the relative share calculation in the PY 2011 formula were from 2000 Census data for all outlying areas, obtained from the Bureau of the Census (Bureau) and are based on 2000 Census surveys for those areas conducted either by the Bureau or the outlying areas under the guidance of the Bureau. Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total appropriated funds for PY 2011 for Adult Activities are $770,921,920 of which $1,927,305 is for outlying areas (including the 0.2 percent rescission). Table B includes a breakdown of the Adult Activities program allotments for States (as previously shared) and each of the five areas. Table B shows the PY 2011 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and comparison to PY 2010 allotments by State. Like the Youth Activities program, the total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for Adult Activities (after the 0.2 percent rescission). As discussed in the Youth Activities paragraph, beginning in PY 2005, WIA funding for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided; instead, funding is provided in the Department of Education’s appropriation. The Adult Activities funds for grants to the remaining outlying areas, for which the distribution methodology is at the Secretary’s discretion, were distributed among the areas by the same principles, formula and data as used for outlying areas for Youth Activities. Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments. Appropriated funds for PY 2011 for the Dislocated Worker Activities program total $1,287,544,000, with $3,218,860 for outlying areas (including the 0.2 percent rescission). Table C includes a breakdown of the Dislocated Worker program allotments for States (as previously shared) and each of the five outlying areas. The total appropriation includes formula funds for the States, National Reserve funds for the distribution of National Emergency Grants, technical assistance and training, demonstration projects, and the outlying areas’ Dislocated Worker allotments. Like the Youth and Adult Activities programs, the total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker E:\FR\FM\03JNN1.SGM 03JNN1 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 107 / Friday, June 3, 2011 / Notices Activities (after the 0.2 percent rescission). WIA funding for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided, as discussed above. The Dislocated Worker Activities funds for grants to outlying areas, for which the distribution methodology is at the Secretary’s discretion, were distributed among the remaining areas by the same pro rata share as the areas received for the PY 2011 WIA Adult Activities program, the same methodology used in PY 2010. 32233 Signed: At Washington, DC on this 27th day of May, 2011.

Graves v. Department of Veterans Affairs AGENCY: Merit Systems Protection Board. jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: In Graves v. Department of Veterans Affairs, 114 M.S.P.R. 245 (2010), and Graves v. Department of Veterans Affairs, 114 M.S.P.R. 209 (2010), which involved appeals filed under the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA), the Board held that the agency’s use of veterans’ preference status as a ‘‘tiebreaker’’ in making selections for excepted service ‘‘hybrid’’ positions under 38 U.S.C. 7401(3), which includes the Medical Records Technician (MRT) positions at issue in these cases, was inadequate, and that the agency must comply with the competitive service veterans’ preference requirements set forth in title 5 of the United States Code. The Board reasoned that although title 5 provisions such as those relating to veterans’ preference rights do not apply to appointments listed under 38 U.S.C. 7401(1) (physicians, dentists, etc.) because those appointments are made ‘‘without regard to civil-service requirements,’’ ‘‘hybrid’’ employees retain many title 5 rights, including the adverse action and reduction in force (RIF) rights mentioned in 38 U.S.C. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:49 Jun 02, 2011 Jkt 223001 7403(f)(3). The Board noted that section 7403(f)(2) provides that ‘‘[i]n using such authority to appoint individuals to such positions, the Secretary shall apply the principles of preference for the hiring of veterans and other persons established in subchapter I of chapter 33 of title 5,’’ and that section 7403(f)(3) provides that ‘‘the applicability of the principles of preference referred to in paragraph (2) * * * shall be resolved under the provisions of title 5 as though such individuals had been appointed under that title.’’ Based on its reading of these two provisions, the Board concluded that title 5 competitive service veterans’ preference requirements apply to appointments made to 38 U.S.C. 7401(3) positions such as MRTs. The Board also suggested in Graves, 114 M.S.P.R. 209, ¶¶ 12–15, that the agency violated veterans’ preference requirements set forth in the Office of Personnel Management’s Delegated Examining Operations Handbook and VetGuide, and that corrective action was therefore warranted. The Graves cases are now before the Board on petition for review after remand. The agency has raised several arguments regarding the above findings. The agency asserts that 38 U.S.C. 7403(f)(3) does not address the appointment of individuals because its plain language refers multiple times to individuals who have already been appointed. Thus, the agency contends that the Board’s decisions do not give effect to the word ‘‘appointed’’ in section 7403(f)(3), and under the statutory construction maxim noscitur a sociis (a word is defined by the company it keeps), the reference in section 7403(f)(3) to ‘‘matters relating to * * * the applicability of the principles of preference referred to in paragraph (2)’’ should mean matters relating to veterans’ preference principles that PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 apply to individuals who have already been appointed, like ‘‘matters relating to’’ adverse actions, RIFs, part-time employees, disciplinary actions, and grievance procedures. The agency also contends that the legislative history for 5 U.S.C. 7403(f)(2)–(3) indicates that a Senate committee specifically intended for the agency to apply a tie-breaker principle to ‘‘hybrid’’ applicants, and that Congress did not intend to require the agency to apply title 5 rights to applicants for employment. The agency further asserts that in 1984 it provided notice in the Federal Register that it would be implementing the ‘‘principles of preference’’ requirement in the statute through an internal circular that called for the use of the ‘‘tie-breaker’’ principle that has been in effect from 1984 through the Board’s decisions in Graves. We also note that while section 7403(f)(2) calls for applying ‘‘the principles of preference for the hiring of veterans and other persons established in subchapter I of chapter 33 of title 5,’’ such application appears to relate to the use of ‘‘such authority,’’ i.e., the ‘‘authority’’ mentioned in 38 U.S.C. 7403(a), which in turn calls for appointments to be made ‘‘without regard to civil-service requirements.’’ See Scarnati v. Department of Veterans Affairs, 344 F.3d 1246, 1248 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (under 38 U.S.C. 7403(a), title 5 provisions, including those regarding veterans’ preference rights, do not apply to appointments made ‘‘without regard to civil service requirements’’). Further, deference is generally given to an agency’s consistent, long-standing regulatory interpretation of an ambiguous statute as long as it is reasonable, Rosete v. Office of Personnel Management, 48 F.3d 514, 518–19 (Fed. Cir. 1995), and Congress is presumed to be aware of an administrative or judicial interpretation of a statute and to adopt E:\FR\FM\03JNN1.SGM 03JNN1

Employment and Training Administration


Employment and Training Administration Program Year (PY) 2011 
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Allotments to Outlying Areas

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice announces PY 2011 WIA Title I Youth, Adult and 
Dislocated Worker Activities program allotments for outlying areas. The 
WIA allotments for the outlying areas are based on a formula determined 
by the Secretary. As required by WIA section 182(d), on February 17, 
2000, a Notice of the discretionary formula for allocating PY 2000 
funds for the outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, Marshall Islands, 
Micronesia, Northern Marianas, Palau, and the Virgin Islands) was 
published in the Federal Register at 65 FR 8236 (February 17, 2000). 
The rationale for the formula and methodology was fully explained in 
the February 17, 2000, Federal Register Notice. The formula for PY 2011 
is the same as used for PY 2000 and is described in the section on 
Youth Activities program allotments. Comments are invited on the 
formula used to allot funds to the outlying areas.

DATES: Comments on the formula used to allot funds to the outlying 
areas must be received by July 5, 2011.

Administration, Office of Financial and Administrative Management, 200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) 
is announcing PY 2011 WIA Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker program 
allotments to outlying areas. The allotments are based on the funds 
appropriated in the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, 
Public Law 112-10, signed April 15, 2011. This appropriation requires 
an across-the-board rescission of 0.2 percent to all Federal Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2011 discretionary program funding. Included in this Notice 
are tables listing the PY 2011 allotments (including the 0.2 percent 
rescission) for programs under WIA Title I Youth Activities (Table A), 
Adult Activities (Table B) and Dislocated Worker Employment and 
Training Activities (Table C).
    On December 17, 2003, Public Law 108-188, the Compact of Free 
Association Amendments Act of 2003 (``the Compact''), was signed. The 
Compact provided for consolidation of WIA Title I funding for the 
Marshall Islands and Micronesia into supplemental education grants 
provided from the Department of Education's appropriation. See 48 USC 
1921d(f)(1)(B)(iii). The Compact also specified that the Republic of 
Palau remained eligible for WIA Title I funding. See 48 USC 
1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 
111-117) (in the Department Of Education's General Provisions at 
Section 309, Title III, Division D) amended the Compact to extend the 
availability of WIA Title I funding to Palau through FY 2010. Section 
1104 of the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, further 
extended the same funding to Palau through FY 2011.
    Youth Activities Allotments. PY 2011 Youth Activities funds for 
outlying areas total $2,064,785 (including the 0.2 percent rescission). 
Table A includes a breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments 
for States (as previously shared) and each of the five outlying areas. 
Before determining the amount available for States, the total funding 
available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the 
full amount appropriated for Youth Activities (after the 0.2 percent 
rescission).
    The methodology for distributing funds to all outlying areas is not 
specified by WIA, but is at the Secretary's discretion. The methodology 
used is the same as used since PY 2000, i.e., funds are distributed 
among the remaining outlying areas by formula based on relative share 
of number of unemployed, a 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year 
share, a $75,000 minimum, and a 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year 
share. As in PY 2010, data for the relative share calculation in the PY 
2011 formula were from 2000 Census data for all outlying areas, 
obtained from the Bureau of the Census (Bureau) and are based on 2000 
Census surveys for those areas conducted either by the Bureau or the 
outlying areas under the guidance of the Bureau.
    Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total 
appropriated funds for PY 2011 for Adult Activities are $770,921,920 of 
which $1,927,305 is for outlying areas (including the 0.2 percent 
rescission). Table B includes a breakdown of the Adult Activities 
program allotments for States (as previously shared) and each of the 
five areas. Table B shows the PY 2011 Adult Employment and Training 
Activities allotments and comparison to PY 2010 allotments by State. 
Like the Youth Activities program, the total available for the outlying 
areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for 
Adult Activities (after the 0.2 percent rescission). As discussed in 
the Youth Activities paragraph, beginning in PY 2005, WIA funding for 
the Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided; instead, 
funding is provided in the Department of Education's appropriation. The 
Adult Activities funds for grants to the remaining outlying areas, for 
which the distribution methodology is at the Secretary's discretion, 
were distributed among the areas by the same principles, formula and 
data as used for outlying areas for Youth Activities.
    Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments. 
Appropriated funds for PY 2011 for the Dislocated Worker Activities 
program total $1,287,544,000, with $3,218,860 for outlying areas 
(including the 0.2 percent rescission). Table C includes a breakdown of 
the Dislocated Worker program allotments for States (as previously 
shared) and each of the five outlying areas. The total appropriation 
includes formula funds for the States, National Reserve funds for the 
distribution of National Emergency Grants, technical assistance and 
training, demonstration projects, and the outlying areas' Dislocated 
Worker allotments. Like the Youth and Adult Activities programs, the 
total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of 
the full amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker

[[Page 32233]]

Activities (after the 0.2 percent rescission). WIA funding for the 
Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided, as discussed 
above. The Dislocated Worker Activities funds for grants to outlying 
areas, for which the distribution methodology is at the Secretary's 
discretion, were distributed among the remaining areas by the same pro 
rata share as the areas received for the PY 2011 WIA Adult Activities 
program, the same methodology used in PY 2010.

    Signed: At Washington, DC on this 27th day of May, 2011.
