References. P.L. 97-300, Section 4(8) (JTPA); and Internal Revenue Code, Section 51 (WOTC). Background. JTPA regulations at 20 CFR 632.4 provide for the use of either of two sets of data in determining economically disadvantaged persons and program eligibility: the Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines or the LLSIL. The attached Federal Register Notice (Vol. 62, No. 80) contains updated LLSIL and detailed instructions for their use, effective April 25, 1997. Action. Grantees will use one of the three tables on pages 20207 thru 20209 of the Notice to find their 70 percent LLSIL for a family of four. Those grantees in one of the 25 Metropolitan Statistical Areas will use Table 3; grantees in Alaska or Hawaii will use Table 2; all other grantees will use Table 1. Grantees using Table 1 can find which region they are in by referring to the list on page 20205 and 20206. Grantees using Tables 1 or 2 must also determine if they are in a metro or non-metro area; this information can be obtained from the grantee's State JTPA. Having found the applicable 70 percent LLSIL for a family of four on Tables 1, 2 or 3, the grantee can then find the 70 percent LLSIL for a family larger or smaller than four on Table 4. For example: a grantee in a non-metro area of Arizona is in the West region. On Table 1 its 70 percent LLSIL is $18,850. To find the applicable 70 percent for a family of six, the grantee finds $18,850 in column four of Table 4 and reads across that line to Column six to find $26,020. Grantees should note the disclaimer on page 20206 that the figures in this notice are valid only for eligibility determination under the JTPA and WOTC programs and should not be used for any statistical purposes. DINAP grantees are to disregard the instructions to Governors on page 20206 in the paragraph entitled "Use of These Data." Questions. Contact your DINAP Federal Representative at (202) 219-8502 Midwest grantees may also contact Mr. Duane Hall, DINAP Federal Representative at 214/767-2154.
