Services of Veterans, Migrant and
Seasonal Farm Workers, Native
Americans, People, with Limited
English-Speaking Ability, and
Individuals in Sparsely Populated
Areas, 1979.
LSC provides funding for Basic
Field—Migrant grants on a per-capita
basis by determining the size of the
subpopulation and separating that
population from the overall poverty
population for the applicable geographic
area or areas. LSC expects programs
receiving these grants to serve the legal
needs of a broad range of eligible
agricultural workers and their
dependents who have specialized legal
needs that are most effectively and
efficiently served through a dedicated
grant program. LSC currently uses data
regarding migrant and seasonal
farmworkers, and their families, from
the early 1990s, with some adjustments
based on changes in the general poverty
population. These data are no longer
current and do not reflect the entire
population served by these grants.
The United States Department of
Labor, Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), collects data
regarding agricultural workers for
federal grants serving the needs of the
American agricultural worker
population. The U.S. Census Bureau
does not maintain data regarding
agricultural workers. LSC has contracted
with ETA to obtain more current data
regarding the agricultural worker
population served by these grants. ETA
has provided LSC with these data,
including state-by-state breakdowns.
The changes in data will result in
changes in funding levels for these
grants.
In January of 2015, LSC management
(Management) proposed to the LSC
Board of Directors (Board) that LSC seek
comments on using the new data for
these grants as follows:
(1) Implementing the new data for
calculation of these grants beginning in
January 2016;
(2) phasing in the funding changes to
provide intermediate funding halfway
between the old and new levels for 2016
and to fully implement the new levels
for 2017; and
(3) updating the data every three years
on the same cycle as LSC updates
poverty population data from the U.S.
Census Bureau for the distribution of
LSC’s Basic Field—General grants.
Upon approval by the Board’s
Operations and Regulations Committee
(Committee) on January 22, 2015, and
the Board on January 24, 2015, LSC
published a notice for comment on this
proposal in the Federal Register on
February 3, 2015, 80 FR 5791. LSC

extended the comment period to April
20, 2015, via notice in the Federal
Register on March 19, 2015, 80 FR
14413. Management’s proposal, related
documents and the comments submitted
are available at: https://www.lsc.gov/
about/mattersforcomment.php.
LSC received eleven comments from
ten individuals or organizations. The
National Legal Aid and Defender
Association (NLADA) submitted two
comments—one from the NLADA Civil
Policy Group and one from the NLADA
Farmworker Section.
The comments all supported the
proposal to use more current data for
apportioning funding to and among
these grants. Some comments raised
concerns about the source data and the
methodology used. In particular,
concerns were raised about the types of
state groupings used for distribution of
the data among the states. Those
comments stated that the groupings did
not accurately reflect the patterns of
employment and residence for lowincome agricultural workers and their
dependents. Some comments identified
additional sources of data for
determining the relevant populations in
some states. Comments also sought
additional access to the source data and
methodology used by the Department of
Labor. Other issues raised by the
comments included the scope of the
definition of ‘‘agricultural worker,’’
implementation over two or three years,
and adjustments to the data for aliens
eligible under federal law for LSC
services based on sexual abuse,
domestic violence, trafficking, or other
abusive or criminal activities. See 45
CFR 1626.4—Aliens eligible for
assistance under anti-abuse laws.
Based on these comments,
Management proposed to the Committee
that LSC further investigate
improvements to the data, postpone
prospective implementation until
January 2017, seek additional comments
on revised options, and publish this
notice. On July 16, 2015, the Committee
approved Management’s proposal. On
July 18, 2015, the Board adopted the
recommendation of Management and
the Committee.
Management has contracted with ETA
to obtain expert review of the issues
regarding source data and methodology
raised by the comments. Management
will publish on the Matters for
Comment page of www.lsc.gov
additional information regarding the
source data and methodology.
Management will also determine
whether ETA can provide revised data
based on some of the considerations
raised in the comments. Based on this
review and any other relevant
PO 00000

information, LSC will publish for
comment any revised data and a
proposal for implementation.
Implementation would begin January
2017.
