Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), 20 U.S.C. 2301
et seq., as amended by Public Law 109–
270. In order to qualify for a grant
award, a state must have exceeded its
performance levels for WIA title IB and
adult education (AEFLA). (Due to the
lack of availability of PY 2010
performance data under the Carl D.
Perkins Vocational and Technical
Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III), the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Education did not
consider states’ performance levels
under the Perkins Act in determining
incentive grants eligibility.) The goals
included employment after training and
related services, retention in
employment, and improvements in
literacy levels, among other measures.
After review of the performance data
submitted by states to the Department of
Labor and to the Department of
Education, each Department determined
for its program(s) which states exceeded
their performance levels (the Appendix
at the bottom of this notice lists the
eligibility of each state by program).
These lists were compared, and states
that exceeded their performance levels
for both programs are eligible to apply
for and receive an incentive grant
award. The amount that each state is
eligible to receive was determined by
the Department of Labor and the
Department of Education, based on the
provisions in WIA section 503(c) (20
U.S.C. 9273(c)), and is proportional to
the total funding received by these
states for WIA title IB and AEFLA
programs.
The states eligible to apply for
incentive grant awards and the amounts
they are eligible to receive are listed in
the following chart:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
This program ensures that
information is in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and costs) is
minimal, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and OSHA’s
estimate of the information collection
burden is accurate. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH
Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657).
OSHA is requesting approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for certain information collection
requirements contained in the
Temporary Labor Camps Standard
(29 CFR 1910.142). The main purpose of
these provisions is to eliminate the
incidence of communicable disease
among temporary labor camp residents.
The Standard requires camp
superintendents to report immediately
to the local health officer the name and
address of any individual in the camp
known to have, or suspected of having,
a communicable disease. Whenever
there is a case of suspected food
poisoning or an unusual prevalence of
any illness in which fever, diarrhea,
sore throat, vomiting or jaundice is a
prominent symptom, the Standard
requires the camp superintendent to
report that immediately to the health
authority. In addition, the Standard
requires that where the toilet rooms are
shared, separate toilet rooms must be
provided for each sex. These rooms
must be ‘‘marked for men’’ and’’ for
women’’ by signs printed in English and
in the native language of the persons
occupying the camp, or marked with
easily understood pictures or symbols.
