After notice of the petitions was

on the Department’s Web site, as
required by Section 221 of the Act (19
U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated
investigations of these petitions.
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of
workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further
investigation in these cases would serve
no purpose since the petitioning group
of workers cannot be covered by more
than one certification at a time.

Summary
This report is provided in accordance
with section 608(d)(1) of the
Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, as
amended, Public Law 108–199, Division
D, (the ‘‘Act’’) (22 U.S.C. 7707(d)(1)).
The Act authorizes the provision of
Millennium Challenge Account
(‘‘MCA’’) assistance under section 605
of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7704) to countries
that enter into compacts with the United
States to support policies and programs
that advance the progress of such
countries in achieving lasting economic
growth and poverty reduction, and are
in furtherance of the Act. The Act
requires the Millennium Challenge
Corporation (‘‘MCC’’) to determine the
countries that will be eligible to receive
MCA assistance for the fiscal year, based
on their demonstrated commitment to
just and democratic governance,
economic freedom, and investing in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:49 Dec 16, 2014
Jkt 235001
their people, as well as on the
opportunity to reduce poverty and
generate economic growth in the
country. The Act also requires the
submission of reports to appropriate
congressional committees and the
publication of notices in the Federal
Register that identify, among other
things:
1. The countries that are ‘‘candidate
countries’’ for MCA assistance for fiscal
year (‘‘FY’’) 2015 based on their percapita income levels and their eligibility
to receive assistance under U.S. law,
and countries that would be candidate
countries but for specified legal
prohibitions on assistance (section
608(a) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7707(a)));
2. The criteria and methodology that
the Board of Directors of MCC (the
‘‘Board’’) will use to measure and
evaluate the policy performance of the
‘‘candidate countries’’ consistent with
the requirements of section 607 of the
Act in order to select ‘‘MCA eligible
countries’’ from among the ‘‘candidate
countries’’ (section 608(b) of the Act (22
U.S.C. 7707(b))); and
3. The list of countries determined by
the Board to be ‘‘MCA eligible
countries’’ for FY 2015, with
justification for eligibility determination
and selection for compact negotiation,
including with which of the MCA
eligible countries the Board will seek to
enter into MCA compacts (section
608(d) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7707(d))).
This is the third of the abovedescribed reports by MCC for FY 2015.
It identifies countries determined by the
Board to be eligible under section 607
of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7706) for FY 2015
and countries with which the MCC will
seek to enter into compacts under
section 609 of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7708),
as well as the justification for such
decisions. The report also identifies
countries determined by the Board to be
eligible for MCC’s Threshold Program
under section 616 of the Act (22 U.S.C.
7715).
Eligible Countries
The Board met on December 10, 2014,
to select countries that will be eligible
for MCA compact assistance under
section 607 of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7706)
for FY 2015. The Board selected the
following countries as eligible for such
assistance for FY 2015: Mongolia,
Nepal, and the Philippines. The Board
also reselected the following countries
as eligible for FY 2015 MCA compact
assistance—Benin, Lesotho, Liberia,
Morocco, Niger, and Tanzania. Sierra
Leone, which was not reselected for
compact assistance, was selected as
eligible for threshold assistance. Cote
d’Ivoire was also selected as eligible for
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
75187
threshold assistance, and Guatemala
was reselected for eligibility for
threshold program funds from FY 2015.
The Board also confirmed its support for
MCC’s efforts to explore new
partnerships in South Asia that could
contribute to regional economic
benefits. This is because, under the right
circumstances, such a regional approach
may present opportunities to take
advantage of higher rates of return on
investment and/or larger-scale
reductions in poverty.
Criteria
In accordance with the Act and with
the ‘‘Report on the Criteria and
Methodology for Determining the
Eligibility of Candidate Countries for
Millennium Challenge Account
Assistance in Fiscal Year 2015’’
formally submitted to Congress on
September 18, 2014, selection was based
primarily on a country’s overall
performance in three broad policy
categories: Ruling Justly, Encouraging
Economic Freedom, and Investing in
People. The Board relied, to the
maximum extent possible, upon
transparent and independent indicators
to assess countries’ policy performance
and demonstrated commitment in these
three broad policy areas. The Board
compared countries’ performance on the
indicators relative to their income-level
peers, evaluating them in comparison to
either the group of low income
scorecard countries (‘‘LIC’’) or the group
of lower middle income scorecard
countries (‘‘LMIC’’).
The criteria and methodology used to
assess countries on the annual
scorecards are outlined in the ‘‘Report
on the Criteria and Methodology for
Determining the Eligibility of Candidate
Countries for Millennium Challenge
Account Assistance in Fiscal Year
2015’’ (www.mcc.gov/pages/docs/doc/
report-selection-criteria-andmethodology-fy15). Scorecards
reflecting each country’s performance
on the indicators are available on MCC’s
Web site at www.mcc.gov/scorecards.
The Board also considered whether
any adjustments should be made for
data gaps, data lags, or recent events
since the indicators were published, as
well as strengths or weaknesses in
particular indicators. Where
appropriate, the Board took into account
additional quantitative and qualitative
information, such as evidence of a
country’s commitment to fighting
corruption, investments in human
development outcomes, or poverty rates.
For example, for additional information
in the area of corruption, the Board
considered how a country is evaluated
by supplemental sources like

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.
