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 the Violence Against
Women Reauthorization Act of 2013.
DATES: This notice is effective February
6, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Mr. Tracy Toulou, Director,
Office of Tribal Justice, Department of
Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.,
Room 2310, Washington, DC 20530,
email OTJ@usdoj.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Tracy Toulou, Director, Office of Tribal
Justice, Department of Justice, at (202)
514–8812 (not a toll-free number) or
OTJ@usdoj.gov.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

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.
Dated: February 6, 2014.
Tony West,
Associate Attorney General.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Presidential Memorandum of January
30, 2014; Job-Driven Training for
Workers
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
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.
