4. Other Considerations Included in the
Closure Methodology
a. Job Corps Services in Each State,
Puerto Rico, and the District of
Columbia
In addition to the above three primary
criteria, another consideration in the
closure methodology explained in the
January 10, 2013 Federal Register
Notice involved an adequate level of Job
Corps services remaining available in
each state (Job Corps’ goal is to have at
least one center operating in each state),
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and
the District of Columbia. One comment
stated that this factor would allow
center location to trump center
performance, and it stated that local and
regional labor markets do not conform
to state boundaries. We continue to
believe that it is in the best interest of
the Job Corps’ target population to
ensure that this model is available in
each state. Therefore, in making the
decision about which centers to close,
we will maintain at least one Job Corps
center in each state, the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, and the District of
Columbia, and will take into
consideration whether a center’s closure
would have a disproportionate impact
on students in any one state.

b. Sufficiency of Data Available To
Evaluate Center Performance
The centers in Ottumwa, Milwaukee,
Pinellas, Denison, Long Beach, Gulfport
and New Orleans are not included for
consideration for closure. For each
center, there is not enough OMS data to
evaluate the center’s performance over
the full five-year period for varying
reasons. Those reasons include: New
centers opened later during the five-year
period (Ottumwa and Milwaukee);
exclusion from OMS evaluation due to
the Center for Excellence (CFE) pilot
status (Pinellas County, Denison, and
Long Beach); and center closure due to
Hurricane Katrina (Gulf Port and New
Orleans). No public comments were
received regarding application of this
criterion.
c. Indication of Significant Recent
Performance Improvement
The Department has determined that
performing in the top half of centers in
PY 2013 should be taken as evidence of
significant recent performance
improvement. Therefore, we propose
that a center will not be considered for
closure if there is evidence of significant
improvement in a center’s available PY

consideration was not previously

public comment on it.

The closure methodology will also
consider Job Corps’ commitment to
diversity. Job Corps currently serves a
diverse student population and remains
committed to serving disadvantaged
youth from all backgrounds. In making
final closure decisions, we will consider
whether a center’s closure would result
in a significant reduction in student
diversity within the overall Job Corps
system. No public comments were
received regarding Job Corps’
commitment to diversity or application
of this criterion.
The Department will accept
comments for 20 days, beginning on the
date of publication of this Notice. After
we have received and analyzed any
comments, we will finalize the
methodology for center closure.
The Department will implement the
selection and closure process pursuant
to the center closure requirements
outlined in the WIA at section 159(g)
and as stipulated in the DOL/USDA
Interagency Agreement. We anticipate
that it will take several months to
execute closure of a center, and possibly
longer for centers with larger student
populations or Civilian Conservation
Centers (CCCs).
The Process for Closing Job Corps
Centers, as Outlined in the Workforce
Investment Act
We will ensure that our process for
closing Job Corps centers will follow the
requirements of Section 159(g) of the
WIA, which include the following:
• The proposed decision to close a
particular center is announced in
advance to the general public through
publication in the Federal Register or
other appropriate means;
• a reasonable comment period, not
to exceed 30 days, is established for
interested individuals to submit written
comments to the Secretary once a
decision to close a particular center is
made; and
• the Member of Congress who
represents the district in which such
center is located is notified within a

LATA Environmental Services of
Kentucky, LLC, a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of Los Alamos Technical
Associates, Inc., Kevil, Kentucky;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On January 24, 2014, the Department
of Labor issued a Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance applicable to workers and
former workers of LATA Environmental
Services of Kentucky, LLC, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Los Alamos
Technical Associates, Inc., Kevil,
Kentucky (subject firm). The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on February 12,
2014 (79 FR 8508). Workers at the
subject firm were engaged in
employment related to the supply of
environmental remediation services.
The worker group does not include onsite leased workers.
In an application dated March 11,
2014, the United Steel, paper and
Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
Energy, Allied-Industrial and Service
Workers International Union requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination applicable to
workers and former workers of the
subject firm. The request for
reconsideration alleges that workers at
the subject firm are eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
under Section 222(b) of the Trade Act,
19 U.S.C. 2272(b).
Previously-submitted information
revealed that a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the subject
firm have been totally or partially
separated or threatened by such
separation. Therefore, the Department
determines that Section 222(b)(1) has
been met.

record, the request for reconsideration,

confirmed that the subject is a Supplier,
as defined by Section 222(c) of the
Trade Act, to a firm that employed a
worker group eligible to apply for TAA
under Section 222(a) of the Act, and that
the supply of services is related to the
production of the article that was the
basis of the primary certification.
Therefore, the Department determines
that Section 222(b)(2) has been met.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that
workers and former workers of the
subject firm, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of
environmental remediation services,
meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. 2272(b). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273,
I make the following certification:
All workers of LATA Environmental
Services of Kentucky, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Los Alamos Technical
Associates, Inc., Kevil, Kentucky, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 20, 2012,
through two years from the date of this
revised certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date
of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
