ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: On January 30, 2014, President Barack Obama issued a memorandum to the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Education, directing them to develop a specific action plan to make the workforce and training system more jobdriven, integrated, and effective. This plan is to be provided to the President through the Vice President within 180 days of the date of this memorandum. The text of this memorandum reads — Giving workers the opportunity to acquire the skills that they need to pursue in-demand jobs and careers is critical to growing our economy, ensuring that everyone who works hard is rewarded, and building a strong middle class. Despite recent employment growth, far too many hardworking individuals still have not been able to find a job or increase their earnings, and many businesses report difficulty hiring workers with the right skills for jobs that they want to fill. It is critical that the Federal Government ensure that its policies and programs in the workforce and training system are designed to equip the Nation’s workers with skills matching the needs of employers looking to hire. To achieve this goal, employers must identify the skills and credentials required for in-demand jobs and help develop training programs; workers and job seekers must have access to education and training that meets their unique needs and the requirements for good jobs and careers; and employers must have easy ways to find workers who have or can acquire those skills. We must take steps to ensure that all relevant Federal programs follow such a job-driven approach to training, and that these programs are accountable for getting Americans into good jobs and careers as quickly as possible. That is why I have asked the Vice President to lead a Government-wide review of relevant Federal programs. E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM 12FEN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 908(b)(2) of the Violence Against 
Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA 2013) establishes a voluntary 
pilot project for Indian tribes that wish to commence exercising 
jurisdiction on an accelerated basis over certain crimes of domestic 
violence and dating violence and certain criminal violations of 
protection orders in Indian country. This announcement provides public 
notice that the Associate Attorney General, exercising authority 
delegated by the Attorney General, is granting the requests of three 
Indian tribes to be designated as participating tribes under section 
204 of the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, on an 
accelerated basis, under the voluntary pilot project described in 
section 908(b)(2) of VAWA 2013. The three tribes are (in alphabetical 
order):
     The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian 
Reservation,
     The Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona, and
     The Tulalip Tribes of Washington.
    In deciding to grant the three tribes' requests, the Department of 
Justice followed the procedures described in the Department's final 
notice on the Pilot Project for Tribal Jurisdiction over Crimes of 
Domestic Violence, 78 FR 71645 (Nov. 29, 2013). The Department of 
Justice coordinated with the Department of the Interior, consulted with 
affected Indian tribes, and concluded that the criminal justice system 
of each of the three tribes has adequate safeguards in place to protect 
defendants' rights, consistent with 25 U.S.C. 1304.
    By February 20, 2014, each of the three tribes will notify its 
community that the tribe will soon commence prosecuting ``special 
domestic violence criminal jurisdiction'' (SDVCJ) cases. That 
notification will include sending press releases to the print and 
electronic media outlets in the tribe's area. Each of the three tribes 
may not exercise SDVCJ to prosecute any crime committed before that 
notification has been completed or before February 20, 2014. Also, 
during the remainder of the Pilot Project's duration (i.e., until March 
7, 2015), each of the three tribes will provide the Department of 
Justice's Office of Tribal Justice (OTJ) with updated information if 
changes in the tribe's laws, rules, policies, or personnel render the 
answers to the tribe's certified Application Questionnaire incomplete, 
inaccurate, or outdated.
    The Department of Justice will post on its Tribal Justice and 
Safety Web site (https://www.justice.gov/tribal/) each of the three 
tribes' Application Questionnaires and all the tribal laws, rules, and 
policies that were attached or linked to those Application 
Questionnaires. Once posted, these materials will serve as a resource 
for those tribes that may also wish to participate in the Pilot Project 
or to commence exercising SDVCJ in March 2015 or later, after the Pilot 
Project has concluded.
