Enacted in 1998, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is the primary authorization for this appropriation account. WIA expired
on September 30, 2003. The Act is intended to provide workers with the information, advice, job search assistance, and training
they need to get and keep good jobs; and to provide employers with skilled workers. Funds appropriated for this account generally
are available on a July to June program year basis, and include substantial advance appropriation amounts. This account includes:
Adult employment and training activities._Grants to provide financial assistance to States and territories to design and operate training and employment assistance
programs for adults, including low-income individuals and public assistance recipients.
Dislocated worker employment and training activities._Grants to provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals dislocated from their employment.
Youth activities._Grants to support a wide range of activities and services to prepare low-income youth for academic and employment success,
including summer and year-round jobs. The program links academic and occupational learning with youth development activities.
Workforce Innovation Fund._Provides $150 million to support competitive grants to test innovative strategies and replicate evidence-based practices in
the workforce system. The Fund will support cross-program collaboration and bold systemic reforms to improve education and
employment outcomes for participants. The Administration intends to set aside $50 million of the funds for veterans (including
recently separated veterans), members of military families, and members of the National Guard and Reserves. In addition,
at least $10 million of the funds for programmatic innovations targeting disconnected youth, with a particular focus on youth
under age 20. This effort to serve disconnected youth will be coordinated with the Departments of Education and Health and
Human Services. A portion of the Fund may also be used for Pay for Success financing to engage social investors, the Federal
government, and a State or local community to collaboratively support effective interventions.
Reintegration of Ex-Offenders._Supports activities authorized under the Second Chance Act to help individuals exiting prison make a successful transition
to community life and long-term employment through mentoring, job training, and other services. The Administration intends
to devote funds to test and replicate evidence-based strategies for young ex-offenders. The Department of Labor will continue
to coordinate closely with the Department of Justice and other relevant Agencies in carrying out this program.
Native Americans._Grants to Indian tribes and other Native American groups to provide training, work experience, and other employment-related
services to Native Americans.
Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers._Grants to public agencies and nonprofit groups to provide training and other employability development services to economically
disadvantaged youth and families whose principal livelihood is gained in migratory and other forms of seasonal farmwork.
National programs._Provides evaluation and demonstration resources for WIA activities. In 2014, evaluation activities will be funded via a set-aside
of program funds provided by Sec. 107 of the Labor General Provisions. The funds in Pilots, Demonstrations, and Research will
be used to pilot and rigorously evaluate potential low-cost structural changes to the WIA system that would substantially
improve services to seniors.
Workforce Data Quality Initiative._Competitive grants to support the development of longitudinal data systems that integrate education and workforce data to
provide timely and accessible information to consumers, policymakers, and others.

The 2014 Budget proposes legislation to establish a Universal Displaced Workers program. This program would make employment
services and training available to a broader number of dislocated workers by consolidating and improving the Federal Government's
two major dislocated worker programs: the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers program and the Workforce Investment Act's
Dislocated Worker State grants program. Under the new Universal Displaced Workers program, all dislocated workers would receive
high-quality job-search assistance, and those workers who had worked with their previous employer for three years or more
would have access to income support and up to two years of skills training for high-growth and in-demand industries. Older
workers would also have the option of wage insurance, designed to get people back to work more quickly.

The Office of Job Corps supports the administration and management of the Job Corps program. Established in 1964 as part of
the Economic Opportunity Act and authorized by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105–220, Title 1, Subtitle C, section
141), Job Corps is the nation's largest federally-funded, primarily residential, training program for at-risk youth, ages
16–24. With 125 centers currently in 48 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, Job Corps provides economically
disadvantaged youth with academic, career technical and employability skills to enter the workforce, enroll in post-secondary
education, or enlist in the military.
Serving approximately 60,000 participants each year, Job Corps emphasizes the attainment of academic credentials, including
a High School Diploma (HSD) and/or General Educational Development (GED) and career technical credentials, including industry-recognized
certifications, state licensures, and pre-apprenticeship credentials. These portable credentials provide for long-term attachment
to the workforce and economic mobility as Job Corps graduates advance through their careers. They ensure that program graduates
have gained the skills and knowledge necessary to compete in today's workforce.
Large and small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and American Indian tribes manage and operate 97 of the Job Corps centers
through contractual agreements with the Department of Labor, while the remaining 28 centers are operated through an interagency
agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Job Corps participants must be economically disadvantaged youth, ages 16–24,
and meet one or more of the following criteria: basic skills deficient; a school dropout; homeless, a runaway, or a foster
child; a parent; or in need of additional education, vocational training, or intensive counseling and related assistance in
order to participate successfully in regular schoolwork or to secure and hold employment.
The 2014 Budget continues the Administration's commitment to strengthening and reforming the Job Corps program and improving
students' outcomes. These reforms include closing the small number of Job Corps centers that are chronically low-performing;
identifying and seeking to replicate the practices of high-performing centers; and adopting cost-saving reforms. The Administration
will continue to shift the program's focus and approach based on evaluation findings, and will continue to provide information
to the public about each Job Corps center's performance in a transparent way. In addition, the Budget proposes steps to strengthen
financial and contract oversight, so the program can continue to provide valuable services to disadvantaged youth while maintaining
strong internal controls and ensuring that its contracts are procured at the lowest risk and the best value to the Federal
government.

Community Service Employment for Older Americans (CSEOA), authorized by Title V of the Older Americans Act as amended in 2006
(P.L. 109–365), is a federally-sponsored community service employment and training program for unemployed low-income individuals,
ages 55 and older. The program, known as the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), offers participants work-based
community service training at non-profit or governmental agencies, so that they can gain on-the-job experience and prepare
to enter or re-enter the workforce. The 2014 Budget proposes transferring SCSEP to the Department of Health and Human Services
to improve coordination between SCSEP and other senior-serving programs administered by the Administration for Community Living.
The dual goals of the program are to foster individual economic self-sufficiency and to provide useful opportunities in community
service activities.

The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Community College and Career Training program, which received appropriations in the
Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Section 1501 of P.L. 111–152, 124 Stat.1070), provides $500 million
annually in fiscal years 2011–2014 for competitive grants to eligible institutions of higher education. The program aims
to improve education and employment outcomes for community college and other students, helping more Americans prepare to succeed
in growing occupations. Funding will allow expansion and improvement of education and training programs that can be completed
in 2 years or less, result in skills and credentials necessary for high-wage, in-demand jobs, and are suited for workers who
are eligible for training under the TAA for Workers program. Grants will support institutions that use evidence to design
program strategies, are committed to using data for continuous improvement, and facilitate evaluation that can build evidence
about effective practices. The Department is implementing this program in cooperation with the Department of Education.
Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances
For payments during fiscal year [2013]2014 of trade adjustment benefit payments and allowances under part I of subchapter B of chapter 2 of title II of the Trade Act
of 1974, and section 246 of that Act; and for training, employment and case management services, allowances for job search
and relocation, and related State administrative expenses under part II of subchapter B of chapter 2 of title II of the Trade
Act of 1974, including benefit payments, allowances, training, employment and case management services, and related State
administration provided pursuant to section 231(a) of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2011, [$1,421,000,000] $656,000,000, together with such amounts as may be necessary to be charged to the subsequent appropriation for payments for any period
subsequent to September 15, [2013]2014. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts
included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

This account funds the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers program, which provides weekly cash benefits, training,
job search and relocation allowances, and employment and case management services to certain workers displaced by international
trade. The account also funds the Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) and the Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance
(RTAA) programs that provide wage insurance payments for certain older workers who become reemployed at lower wages than the
wages paid in their pre-layoff employment.
The TAA for Workers program was reauthorized through December 31, 2010, under the Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance
Act of 2009 (TGAAA) extended through February 12, 2011 under the Omnibus Trade Act of 2010, and extended again through December
31, 2013 under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act (TAAEA) of 2011. Under these laws, workers covered by petitions
for the TAA program filed between May 18, 2009 and February 13, 2011, were considered under expanded group eligibility provisions
(e.g., workers in the service sector were eligible), and the covered workers could be eligible for enhanced services and benefits,
including additional weeks of cash benefits, while in training and for the RTAA program. Applications filed between February
13, 2011 and October 21, 2011, were administered under prior law, as if the amendments made under the TGAAA and the Omnibus
Trade Act of 2010 had never been enacted. Applications filed on or after October 21, 2011 were administered under expanded
eligibility provisions of the TAAEA of 2011, which restored most of the provision of the 2009 program. In addition, the TAAEA
of 2011 provided a limited window for trade affected workers who began receiving benefits and services during the reversion
period (February 13, 2011 to October 21, 2011) to make a one-time election to be served under the TAAEA of 2011.

Unemployment compensation._State administration amounts provide administrative grants to State agencies that pay unemployment compensation to eligible
workers and collect State unemployment taxes from employers. These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former Federal
personnel and ex-servicemembers as well as trade readjustment allowances to eligible individuals. State administration amounts
also provide administrative grants to State agencies to improve the integrity and financial stability of the unemployment
compensation program through a comprehensive performance management system, UI Performs. The purpose is to effect continuous
improvement in State performance and related activities designed to assess and reduce errors and prevent fraud, waste, and
abuse in the payment of unemployment compensation benefits and the collection of unemployment taxes. National activities
relating to the Federal-State unemployment insurance programs are conducted through contracts or agreements with the State
agencies or with non-State entities. A workload contingency reserve is included in State administration to meet increases
in the costs of administration resulting from increases in the number of claims filed and claims paid. The appropriation
automatically provides additional funds whenever unemployment claims workload increases above levels specified in the appropriations
language.
The request for additional funding for in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments of claimants of unemployment compensation
builds upon the success of a number of States in reducing improper payments and speeding reemployment using these assessments.
Because most unemployment claims are now filed by telephone or Internet, in-person assessments conducted in the One-Stop Career
Centers can help determine continued eligibility for benefits and adequacy of work search, verify the identity of beneficiaries
where there is suspicion of possible identify theft, and provide referral to reemployment assistance to those who need additional
help. The $80 million requested for reemployment and eligibility assessments is estimated to provide benefit savings of $315
million. It is important that this integrity initiative and other new enforcement investments be fully funded. To ensure
full funding of reemployment and eligibility assessments, the Administration proposes to protect the dollars requested for
these activities in the appropriations process through cap adjustments, a mechanism that has been used by past Administrations
and Congresses. Cap adjustments are increases in the ceiling or allocation for annual appropriations, but these increases
would be granted only if the base level for reemployment and eligibility assessments was funded at $60 million and if the
use of the funds was clearly restricted to the specified purpose. The 2014 Budget proposes to amend the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended by the Budget Control Act of 2011, to adjust the discretionary spending
limits in the Act for administrative program integrity activities at DOL. These adjustments would be similar in nature to
those enacted for the Social Security Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services for Medicare and Medicaid.
See additional discussion in the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.

Employment service._The public employment service is a nationwide system providing no-fee employment services to job-seekers and employers. State
employment service activities are financed by grants provided by formula to States. Funding allotments are provided annually
on a Program Year basis beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following year.
Employment service activities serving national needs are conducted through specific reimbursable agreements between the States
and the Federal Government under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended, and other legislation. States also receive funding under
this activity for administration of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, as well for amortization payments for those States that
had independent retirement plans prior to 1980 in their State employment service agencies.

Foreign Labor Certification._This activity provides for the administration of the foreign labor certification programs within the Employment and Training
Administration. Under these programs, U.S. employers that can demonstrate a shortage of qualified, available U.S. workers
and that there would be no adverse impact on similarly situated U.S. workers may seek the Secretary of Labor's certification
as a first step in the multi-agency process required to hire a foreign worker to fill critical permanent or temporary vacancies.
Major programs include the permanent, H–2A temporary agricultural, H–2B temporary non-agricultural and temporary highly skilled
worker visas. The account is divided into Federal and State activities.
Federal Administration._Federal Administration provides leadership, policy, and operational direction to Federal activities supporting the effective
and efficient administration of foreign labor certification programs.
State grants._Provides grants to State labor agencies in 54 States and U.S. territories funding employment-related activities required for
the administration of Federal foreign labor certification programs. Includes State Workforce Agency posting and circulation
of job orders and other assistance to employers in the recruitment of U.S. workers, processing of employer requests for prevailing
wage determinations for the permanent and temporary programs, state processing of H–2A agricultural and H–2B non-agricultural
temporary labor certification applications, State safety inspection of housing provided by employers to workers, and State
development of prevailing wage and prevailing practice surveys used to set wages and standards in a defined geographic area.
One-stop career centers._These funds are used to support the joint Federal-State efforts to improve the comprehensive One-Stop system created under
WIA. This system provides workers and employers with quick and easy access to a wide array of enhanced career development
and labor market information services. A portion of these funds supports a joint initiative between the Employment and Training
Administration and the Office of Disability Employment Policy to improve the accessibility and accountability of the public
workforce development system for individuals with disabilities.
National Agricultural Workers Survey fee._The Department of Labor conducts the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS), which collects information annually about
the demographic, employment, and health characteristics of the U.S. crop labor force. The information is obtained directly
from farm workers through face-to-face interviews. The Administration proposes to charge non-Federal entities on a case-by-case
basis the cost of conducting specifically requested data collection or analysis. For example, State and local governments,
educational institutions, or non-profit organizations may pay a fee to fund the addition of a question to the standard survey.

The 2014 Budget proposes initiatives that aggressively address long-term unemployment and provide new employment opportunities
for low-income and unemployed workers, and build the skills of American workers. This proposal includes:
Reemployment NOW._Provides $4 billion for the Reemployment NOW fund, which gives the States flexibility to institute innovative approaches to
better connect Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) claimants and other long-term unemployed workers with job opportunities.
With Reemployment NOW, States will be able to implement Bridge to Work programs to give EUC claimants valuable on-the-job
experience and will also be able to offer claimants wage insurance and other intensive reemployment services.
Pathways Back to Work._Provides $12.5 billion to support subsidized employment and training opportunities for low-income and long-term unemployed
adults, summer and year-round employment opportunities for low-income youth, and competitive grants to support innovative
training and employment programs for these populations.
Community College to Career Fund._Beginning in 2015, provides $8 billion ($4 billion each in the Departments of Labor and Education) over three years to support
and evaluate community college-based training programs that build the skills of American workers, with a particular emphasis
on initiatives with strong State and community college partnerships with businesses. The Fund will be jointly administered
by the Departments of Labor and Education and is the successor to the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career
Training program, for which 2014 is the final year of funding.

This account provides for general fund financing of extended unemployment benefit programs under certain statutes. Under
the Emergency Unemployment Compensation law enacted in Public Law (P.L.) 102–164, as amended, there continues to be general
fund financing for administrative costs related to any extended benefits paid under the optional, total unemployment rate
trigger created in that law. This account is also used to make general fund reimbursements for some or all of the benefits
and administrative costs incurred under the new Emergency Unemployment Compensation program (first enacted in P.L. 110–252
and expanded and extended several times, most recently in P.L. 112–240). These funds are transferred to a receipt account
in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) so that resources may be transferred to the Employment Security Administration Account
in the UTF for administrative costs or to the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account in the UTF for benefit costs.

This account provides mandatory general revenue funding for a temporary program established under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5) and subsequently extended. This program paid a supplement of $25 on every week
of unemployment compensation. It was last extended in Public Law 111–157 and paid benefits through its December 7, 2010,
phaseout period.
Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds
For repayable advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund as authorized by sections 905(d) and 1203 of the Social Security Act, and to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund as authorized by section 9501(c)(1)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and for nonrepayable advances to the revolving fund established by section 901(e) of the Social Security Act, to the Unemployment Trust Fund as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 8509, and to the "Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances''
account, such sums as may be necessary, which shall be available for obligation through September 30, [2014]2015. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts
included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

This account makes available funding for repayable advances (loans) to two accounts in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF):
the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account (EUCA) which pays the Federal share of extended unemployment benefits, and
the Federal Unemployment Account (FUA) which makes loans to States to fund unemployment benefits. In addition, the account
has provided repayable advances to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) when its balances proved insufficient to make
payments from that account. The BLDTF now has authority to borrow directly from the Treasury under the trust fund debt restructuring
provisions of Public Law 110–343. Repayable advances are shown as borrowing authority within the UTF or the BLDTF, and they
do not appear as budget authority or outlays in the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds account.
This account also makes available funding as needed for nonrepayable advances to the Federal Employees Compensation Account
(FECA) to pay the costs of unemployment compensation for former Federal employees and ex-servicemembers, and to the Federal
Unemployment and Benefits and Allowances (FUBA) account to pay the costs of benefits and services under the Trade Adjustment
Assistance for Workers (TAA) program. These advances are shown as budget authority and outlays in the Advances account. The
2014 appropriations language for this account includes new authority for nonrepayable advances to the revolving fund for the
Employment Security Administration Account (ESAA) in the Unemployment Trust Fund. In turn, this revolving fund may provide
repayable, interest-bearing advances to the ESAA account if it runs short of funds, and the borrowing authority will enable
ESAA to cover its obligations despite seasonal variations in the account's receipts.
Advances were needed for the FUA, EUCA, and FECA accounts in fiscal year 2012, and the need is expected to continue. Detail
on the nonrepayable advances is provided above; detail on the repayable advances is shown separately in the UTF account.
To address the potential need for significant, and somewhat unpredictable advances to various accounts, Congress appropriates
such sums as necessary for advances to all of the potential recipient accounts. The fiscal year 2014 request continues this
authority.
Program Administration
For expenses of administering employment and training programs, [$97,571,000]$99,009,065, together with not to exceed [$50,040,000] $50,608,425 which may be expended from the Employment Security Administration Account in the Unemployment Trust Fund. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts
included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The financial transactions of the Federal-State and railroad unemployment insurance systems are made through the Unemployment
Trust Fund (UTF). All State and Federal unemployment tax receipts are deposited into the UTF and invested in Government securities
until needed for benefit payments or administrative expenses. State payroll taxes pay for all regular State unemployment
benefits. The Federal unemployment tax (FUTA) pays the costs of Federal and State administration of the unemployment insurance
system, veterans' employment services, surveys of wages and employment, and about 97 percent of the costs of the Employment
Service. In addition, the Federal tax pays for certain extended benefit payments. During periods of high State unemployment,
there is a stand-by program of extended benefits (EB), financed one-half by State unemployment taxes and one-half by the FUTA
payroll tax, which are also paid out of the UTF. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111–5), and subsequent
legislation, has temporarily made EB 100 percent federally financed. Temporary Federal extended benefit programs, including
the current Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, are also funded from the Unemployment Trust Fund, either by the Federal
tax or by reimbursement from Federal general revenues. The UTF also provides repayable advances (loans) to the States when
the balances in their individual State accounts are insufficient to pay benefits. Federal accounts in the UTF may receive
repayable advances from the general fund when they have insufficient balances to make advances to States, pay the Federal
share of extended unemployment benefits, or pay for State and Federal administrative costs.
The Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) in the Trust Fund provides funds to States for unemployment compensation
benefits paid to eligible former Federal civilian personnel, Postal Service employees, and ex-servicemembers. In turn, the
various Federal agencies reimburse FECA for benefits paid to their former employees. FECA is not funded out of Federal unemployment
taxes. Any additional resources necessary to assure that the FECA account can make the required payments to States are provided
from the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds account.
Both the benefit payments and administrative expenses of the separate unemployment insurance program for railroad employees
are paid from the Unemployment Trust Fund, and receipts from a tax on railroad payrolls are deposited into the Trust Fund
to meet expenses.
Legislative proposals to strengthen the unemployment insurance safety net._The economic downturn continues to severely test the adequacy of States' unemployment insurance (UI) systems, forcing States
to borrow to continue paying benefits. These debts are now being repaid through additional taxes on employers, which undermine
much-needed job creation. To provide short-term relief to employers in these States, the 2014 Budget will propose a suspension
of interest on State UI borrowing in 2013 and 2014 along with a suspension of the FUTA credit reduction, which is an automatic
debt repayment mechanism for those years. To address the need for States to return their unemployment trust funds to solvency,
the Budget will also propose to increase the FUTA taxable wage base to $15,000 in 2016 and to index it to average wages thereafter.
States with lower wage bases will need to adjust their UI tax structures. The FUTA tax rate will be returned to 0.8% in 2014,
to strengthen the solvency of the Federal trust fund accounts, then lowered in 2016 in a revenue-neutral way. This package
will encourage States to put their UI systems on a firmer financial footing for the future, while preventing unnecessary burden
on employers in the short term as the economy recovers. The impact of this proposal is on several receipt accounts that feed
into the UTF, including FUTA deposits, deposits of State unemployment taxes into the UTF, and interest on loans.
Section 908 of the Social Security Act currently requires the Secretary of Labor to establish an Advisory Council on Unemployment
Compensation every fourth year. This requirement would be replaced with language that would allow the Secretary of Labor
to periodically establish an Advisory Council.

The savings reflected in the legislative proposal shown above are for three Unemployment Insurance (UI) program integrity
proposals that would expand State use of programs that help them to prevent and recover improper payments.
The State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) is designed to help employers provide the information required to determine
a claimant's UI eligibility to States more quickly by providing a secure electronic data exchange between States and employers
or their third party administrators. SIDES is currently used by about 35 States. This provision would require all State UI
agencies to use SIDES. The improvements in speed and accuracy resulting from use of such a system will help avoid overpayments
or underpayments and provide for more efficient and effective administration of the UI program.
States have gained access to the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) to recover certain UI debts (stemming from overpayments due
to fraud or failure to report earnings). A number of States already use TOP, and they have found it an effective debt recovery
tool when other attempts to collect legally enforceable UI debts have failed. The legislative proposal will expand State
use of TOP, which will increase recovery of overpayments.
To avoid paying UI benefits to incarcerated individuals (with an exception for those on work release), legislation will be
proposed to require States to cross-match UI claimants with the Prisoner Update Processing System (PUPS) database housed at
the Social Security Administration. The proposal will also add new data elements to PUPS on prospective and actual release
dates, which should make the system more valuable to agency users as an indicator of potential ineligibility for UI benefits.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is a federal corporation established under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended. It guarantees payment of basic pension benefits earned by more than 43 million of America's workers
and retirees participating in more than 26,000 private sector defined pension plans. The Corporation receives no funds from
general tax revenues. Operations are financed by insurance premiums paid by companies that sponsor defined benefit pension
plans, investment income, and assets from terminated plans.
PBGC is requesting $505,441,000 in spending authority for administrative purposes in 2014. The increase from 2013 supports
increasing costs for investments fees and the multiemployer program, as well as improving the benefit payment and processing
function.
The 2014 Budget proposes to give the PBGC Board the authority, beginning in 2015, to make future premium rate adjustments
that take into account the risks that different sponsors pose to their retirees and PBGC. The Budget requires the Board to
undertake a one-year study and public comment period, as well as a gradual phase-in of any increases. This proposal will both
encourage companies to fully fund their pension benefits and ensure the agency's continued financial soundness.
PBGC is currently benchmarking its investment management practices against those of other large pension and/or trust fund
administrators. This process may lead to modifications in 2015 on how PBGC accounts for investment management activities
to bring PBGC more in line with standard investment industry practices. To facilitate this process, the Administration is
proposing a modification to the PBGC appropriations language to make it easier for the Corporation to implement its Board-approved
Investment Policy.
Plan Preservation Efforts: PBGC tries, first, to preserve plans and keep pension promises in the hands of the employers who make them. When companies
undertake major transactions that might threaten their ability to pay pensions, PBGC negotiates protections for their pension
plans. Last year PBGC negotiated with dozens of companies, both in bankruptcy and otherwise, to preserve their plans. Similarly,
when major layoffs or plant closures threaten a plan's viability, PBGC steps in to negotiate protection for the plan. In 2012,
PBGC:
— Helped to protect 130,000 people in American Airlines plans, and tens of thousands more in other plans in ongoing bankruptcies,
— Helped to protect 37,000 people in plans sponsored by companies that emerged from bankruptcy without terminating their plans,
— Negotiated $31 million in financial assurance to protect more than 9,000 people in plans at risk from corporate transactions,
— Negotiated $471 million in financial assurance to protect 50,000 people whose companies downsized, and
— Worked with media, Congressional staff, retiree groups, unions, and pension advocacy groups to help thousands to understand
the lifetime consequences of accepting one-time cash payments instead of their pensions.
Stepping in to Insure Pensions When Plans Fail: When plans do fail, PBGC steps in to ensure that a portion of benefits continue to be paid. Over the years, PBGC has become
responsible for almost 1.5 million people in 4,300 failed plans. In 2012, PBGC:
— Assumed responsibility for more than 47,000 people in 155 newly failed single-employer plans,
— Started paying benefits to the 17,000 retirees in those plans, on time and without missing a single payment,
— Paid $5.5 billion to nearly 887,000 retirees in more than 4,500 failed plans (an additional 614,000 workers will receive
benefits when they retire), and
— Re-evaluated the benefits of more than 223,000 pensioners at United Airlines, National Steel, and in other plans to correct
possible errors in the original work over the past decade, and started changing procedures and organization to avoid errors
in the future.
Budget activities:
Single-employer benefit payments._The single-employer program protects about 33 million workers and retirees in about 24,000 pension plans. Under this program,
a company may voluntarily seek to terminate its plan, or PBGC may seek termination. The PBGC must seek termination when a
plan cannot pay current benefits. A plan that cannot pay all benefits may be ended by a "distress" termination, but only
if the employer meets tests proving severe financial distress, such as proving that continuing the plan would force the company
to go out of business. If a terminated plan cannot pay at least the PBGC-guaranteed level of benefits, PBGC uses its funds
to ensure that guaranteed benefits are paid. A sponsor may terminate a plan in a "standard'' termination only if plan assets
are sufficient to pay all benefits. In a standard termination, the sponsor closes out the plan by purchasing annuities from
an insurance company or by paying benefits in a lump sum. After a standard termination, the PBGC guarantee ends.
Multiemployer financial assistance._ The multiemployer insurance program protects about 10 million workers and retirees in about 1,500 pension plans. Multiemployer
pension plans are maintained under collectively bargained agreements involving unrelated employers, generally of the same
industry. If a PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay guaranteed benefits when due, the PBGC will provide the plan
with financial assistance (a loan to the plan) to continue paying guaranteed benefits.
Pension insurance activities._This part of the administrative budget includes premium collections, purchase of U.S. Treasury securities using premium receipts,
pre-trusteeship work, efforts to preserve pension plans, recovery of assets from former plan sponsors, and pension insurance
program protection activities.
Pension plan termination._This part of the administrative budget includes all activities related to trusteeship; plan asset management, investment and
accounting; as well as benefit payments and administration services.
Operational support._This part of the administrative budget includes the administrative, information technology infrastructure, and other shared
program support for both PBGC's insurance and plan termination activities. The operational support activity includes the operations
of the Inspector General and a request for funding in the amount of $6,127,000 to support the required functions and efforts
of the office, including training and CIGIE.

In 2010, the Department of Labor abolished the Employment Standards Administration (ESA) to streamline administration of the
programs. As the Department is reinvigorating its enforcement of worker protection laws, this reorganization supports the
Administration's Worker Protection efforts by eliminating redundant management efforts by elevating program issues directly
to the Secretarial level. It also reflects the importance of these programs and increased enforcement supporting the Secretary's
Worker Protection goals. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112–74) accepted the Administration's proposal to
replace the appropriation for the Employment and Standards Administration by four individual appropriations for the component
agencies and offices previously under the heading "Employment Standards Administration Salaries and Expenses." In the 2014
Budget, funding is requested separately for the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Wage and Hour Division, Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and Office of Labor-Management Standards.

Salaries and Expenses
For necessary expenses for the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, [$120,056,000] $118,458,000, together with [$2,134,000] $2,142,000 which may be expended from the Special Fund in accordance with sections 39(c), 44(d), and 44(j) of the Longshore and Harbor
Workers' Compensation Act. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts
included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

10(h) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, [$396,000,000] $396,000,000, together with such amounts as may be necessary to be charged to the subsequent year appropriation for the payment of compensation
and other benefits for any period subsequent to August 15 of the current year: Provided, That amounts appropriated may be used under 5 U.S.C. 8104 by the Secretary to reimburse an employer, who is not the employer
at the time of injury, for portions of the salary of a re-employed, disabled beneficiary: [Provided] further, That balances of reimbursements unobligated on September 30, [2012] 2013, shall remain available until expended for the payment of compensation, benefits, and expenses: Provided further, That in addition there shall be transferred to this appropriation from the Postal Service and from any other corporation
or instrumentality required under 5 U.S.C. 8147(c) to pay an amount for its fair share of the cost of administration, such
sums as the Secretary determines to be the cost of administration for employees of such fair share entities through September
30, [2013] 2014: Provided further, That of those funds transferred to this account from the fair share entities to pay the cost of administration of the Federal
Employees' Compensation Act, [$58,544,000] $60,017,000 shall be made available to the Secretary as follows:
(1) For enhancement and maintenance of automated data processing systems and telecommunications systems, [$23,166,000] $19,499,000;

Provided further, That the Secretary may require that any person filing a notice of injury or a claim for benefits under 5 U.S.C. 81, or the
Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, provide as part of such notice and claim, such identifying information (including
Social Security account number) as such regulations may prescribe. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts

Federal Employees' Compensation Act benefits._The Federal Employees' Compensation Act program provides monetary and medical benefits to Federal workers who sustain work-related
injury or disease. Not all benefits are paid by the program, since the first 45 days of disability are usually covered by
keeping injured workers in pay status with their employing agencies (the continuation-of-pay period). In 2014, 115,000 injured
Federal workers or their survivors are projected to file claims; 49,000 are projected to receive long-term wage replacement
benefits for job-related injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are charged back to the beneficiaries'
employing agencies.

The 2014 Budget incorporates longstanding Government Accountability Office, Congressional Budget Office, and Labor Inspector
General recommendations, amending FECA to convert prospectively retirement-age beneficiaries to a retirement annuity-level
benefit, establish an up-front waiting period for benefits for all beneficiaries, permit the Department of Labor to recapture
compensation costs from responsible third parties, authorize the Department to cross-match FECA records with Social Security
records to reduce improper payments, and make other changes to improve and update FECA. The 2014 reform legislation will
also include a provision to allow the Department to add an administrative surcharge to the amount billed to Federal agencies
for their FECA compensation costs, thereby shifting FECA administrative costs from the Department to Federal agencies in proportion
to their usage. If enacted, the surcharge would not be applied until 2015 to give agencies an opportunity to plan for the
change. The legislation would produce 10-year savings of more than $460 million in the Special Benefits Fund, and more than
$500 million on a Government-wide basis over the same period.

Energy Employees' Compensation Act benefits._The Department of Labor is delegated responsibility to adjudicate and administer claims for benefits under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA). In July 2001, the program began accepting claims from employees
or survivors of employees of the Department of Energy (DOE) and of private companies under contract with DOE who suffer from
a radiation-related cancer, beryllium-related disease, or chronic silicosis as a result of their work in producing or testing
nuclear weapons. The Act authorizes a lump-sum payment of $150,000 and reimbursement of medical expenses.
The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 108–767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for
a new program (Part E) to pay workers' compensation benefits to DOE contractors and their families for illness and death arising
from toxic exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides compensation for uranium workers covered under
section 5 of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Benefit payments under Part E began in 2005.

Overseas Contractors Compensation Act (OCCA)
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
The growth in Federal contractors working overseas has brought into sharp focus the need for a more efficient approach to
the Defense Base Act (DBA), which provides workers compensation coverage to Federal contract employees working overseas on
defense bases and public works projects. The Budget proposes a new Government-wide fund to replace the patchwork of contract
coverage now in effect under the DBA. Since 2002, the DBA caseload has increased by almost 2,600 percent, from 430 in 2002
to over 11,600 in 2011. DOL has experienced a number of administrative challenges in the wake of the increased workload, including
difficulties in obtaining necessary documentation from foreign workers and delays in processing cases originating from war
zones. In addition, under the program's current structure, the cost of DBA insurance which agencies pay through individual
contracts exceed actual benefit by a significant margin. Over the past several years, DOL, the Department of Defense, the
Department of State, and the U.S Agency for International Development have been working closely together to reform and improve
the operation of the program, and the Budget reflects the culmination of those collaborative efforts. The proposal would
replace the current DBA program with a new Government-wide benefit program called the Overseas Contractors Compensation Act
(OCCA), under which benefits would be paid directly from a Federal fund administered by DOL and agencies would be billed only
for their share of benefits and administrative costs.
Administrative Expenses, Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Fund
For necessary expenses to administer the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act, [$54,962,000] $55,176,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That the Secretary may require that any person filing a claim for benefits under the Act provide as part of such claim such
identifying information (including Social Security account number) as may be prescribed. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts
included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) administration._Under Executive Order 13179 the Secretary of Labor is assigned primary responsibility for administering the EEOICPA program,
while other responsibilities have been delegated to the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Energy (DOE), and
Justice (DOJ). The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) in the Department of Labor (DOL) is responsible for claims
adjudication, and award and payment of compensation and medical benefits. DOL's Office of the Solicitor provides legal support
and represents the Department in claimant appeals of OWCP decisions. HHS is responsible for developing individual dose reconstructions
to estimate occupational radiation exposure, and developing regulations to guide DOL's determination of whether an individual's
cancer was caused by radiation exposure at a DOE or atomic weapons facility. DOE is responsible for providing exposure histories
at employment facilities covered under the Act, and other employment information. DOJ assists claimants who have been awarded
compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to file for additional compensation, including medical benefits,
under EEOICPA.
The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 108–767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for
a new program (Part E) to pay workers' compensation benefits to DOE contractors and their families for illness and death arising
from toxic exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides compensation for uranium workers covered by
the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Administrative expenses for Part E are covered through indefinite, mandatory appropriations
provided in P.L. 108–767.

Title IV of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act authorizes monthly benefits to coal miners disabled due to coal workers'
pneumoconiosis (black lung), and to their widows and certain other dependents. Part B of the Act assigned the processing
and paying of claims filed between December 30, 1969 (when the program originated) and June 30, 1973 to the Social Security
Administration (SSA). P.L. 107–275 transferred Part B claims processing and payment operations from SSA to the Department
of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs. This change was implemented on October 1, 2003.

This fund was established to provide for the accumulation of funds to meet the Panama Canal Commission's obligations to defray
costs of workers' compensation which will accrue pursuant to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). On December
31, 1999, the Commission was dissolved as set forth in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977; however, the liability of the Commission
for payments beyond that date did not end with its termination. The establishment of this fund, into which funds were deposited
on a regular basis by the Commission, was in conjunction with the transfer of the administration of the Federal Employees'
Compensation Act (FECA) program from the Commission to the Department of Labor, effective January 1, 1989.
Trust Funds
Black Lung Disability Trust Fund
(including transfer of funds)
Such sums as may be necessary from the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund ("Fund''), to remain available until expended, for
payment of all benefits authorized by section 9501(d)(1), (2), (6), and (7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and repayment
of, and payment of interest on advances, as authorized by section 9501(d)(4) of that Act. In addition, the following amounts
may be expended from the Fund for fiscal year [2013]2014 for expenses of operation and administration of the Black Lung Benefits program, as authorized by section 9501(d)(5): not
to exceed $32,906,000 for transfer to the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, "Salaries and Expenses''; not to exceed
$25,217,000 for transfer to Departmental Management, "Salaries and Expenses''; not to exceed $327,000 for transfer to Departmental
Management, "Office of Inspector General''; and not to exceed $356,000 for payments into miscellaneous receipts for the expenses
of the Department of the Treasury. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts
included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The trust fund consists of all monies collected from the coal mine industry under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits
Revenue Act of 1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, in the form of an excise tax
on mined coal. These moneys are expended to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible miners and their
survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to 1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition,
the fund pays all administrative costs incurred in the operation of Part C of the Black Lung program. The fund is administered
jointly by the Secretaries of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of
2008, enacted on October 3, 2008, authorized restructuring of the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) debt by (1) extending
the current coal excise tax rates of $1.10 per ton on underground-mined coal and $0.55 per ton on surface-mined coal until
December 31, 2018; (2) providing a one-time appropriation for the BLDTF to repay the market value of parts of the outstanding
repayable advances and accrued interest; and (3) refinancing the remainder of the outstanding debt through the issuance of
zero-coupon bonds, to be retired using the BLDTF's annual operating surplus until all of its remaining obligations have been
paid.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 reinstated two provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Act that
had been removed in 1981 for claims filed on or after January 1, 1982. These provisions include: automatic entitlement to
benefits for survivors of miners who had been awarded benefits at the time of their death and a presumption that a miner who
has at least 15 years of qualifying coal mine employment and has a totally disabling lung condition has pneumoconiosis even
in the absence of a negative x-ray.

The trust funds consist of amounts received from employers for the death of an employee where no person is entitled to compensation
for such death, for fines and penalty payments, and— pursuant to an annual assessment of the industry— for the general expenses
of the fund under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), as amended.
These trust funds are available for payments of additional compensation for second injuries. When a second injury is combined
with a previous disability and results in increased permanent partial disability, permanent total disability, or death, the
employer's liability for benefits is limited to a specified period of compensation payments, after which the fund provides
continuing compensation benefits. In addition, the fund pays one-half of the increased benefits provided under the LHWCA
for persons on the rolls prior to 1972. Maintenance payments are made to disabled employees undergoing vocational rehabilitation
to enable them to return to remunerative occupations, and the costs of necessary rehabilitation services not otherwise available
to disabled workers are defrayed. Payments are made in cases where other circumstances preclude payment by an employer and
to provide medical, surgical, and other treatment in disability cases where there has been a default by the insolvency of
an uninsured employer.

The Wage and Hour Division enforces the minimum wage, overtime, child labor, and other employment standards under the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), the Family and Medical Leave
Act (FMLA), certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the wage garnishment provisions in Title III
of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), and the Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA). The Division also determines
prevailing wages and enforces employment standards under various Government contract wage standards. In 2014, approximately
265,000 persons are expected to be aided under the FLSA through securing agreements with firms to pay back wages owed to their
workers. In government contract compliance actions, about 25,000 persons will be aided through securing agreements to pay
wages owed to workers. Under MSPA, approximately 1,400 investigations will be completed. While in the course of all on-site
investigations investigators routinely check for employer compliance with child labor standards, approximately 1,000 investigations
with the objective of detecting child labor violations will be conducted.

The Wage and Hour Division has traditionally had responsibility for enforcing certain worker protections provisions of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically the H–2A and H–1B temporary non-immigrant foreign worker programs. Pursuant
to an Interagency Agreement (IAA) between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL) and section 214(c)(14)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(14)(B), DOL and WHD have been
delegated the enforcement authority located at section 214(c)(14)(A)(i) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(14)(A)(i) for enforcing
the H–2B temporary non-immigrant foreign worker program. Under section 524 of H.R. 3288, the Secretary of Labor may use one-third
of the H–1B and L Fraud Protection and Detection fee account for enforcement of these temporary worker program provisions
and for related enforcement activities.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) enforces equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements
of Federal contractors and subcontractors. In particular, OFCCP enforces: Executive Order 11246, which prohibits employment
discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national origin; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (through a memorandum of understanding with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission), which prohibit employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities; and the Vietnam Era Veterans
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, which prohibits employment discrimination against certain protected veterans.
OFCCP programs cover close to 100,000 work-sites and a total workforce of 12 million persons. OFCCP monitors contractors'
compliance through compliance evaluations and reporting requirements. Specifically, OFCCP will complete 4,650 compliance
evaluations in 2014, with a focus on both supply and service construction reviews. OFCCP will continue to shift its outreach
strategy from being contractor-centric to worker-focused, which will strengthen its enforcement capacity in the process.
In addition, the agency will also ensure that contractors and subcontractors are provided linkages to recruitment sources
for hiring and advancement of minorities, women, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities.

Safety and Health Standards._This activity provides for the protection of workers' safety and health through development, promulgation, review, and evaluation
of occupational safety and health standards and guidance, as specified under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act
of 1970. Before any standard is proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a significant risk of serious injury
or health impairment exists; (2) the standard will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and technologically
feasible; and (4) the standard is economically and technologically feasible when compared with alternative regulatory proposals
providing equal levels of protection. This activity also ensures, through the SBREFA process, that small business concerns
are taken into account in the process of developing standards.
Federal Enforcement._This activity provides for ensuring the protection of employees through the enforcement of workplace standards promulgated
under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act of 1970, through the physical inspection of worksites, and by providing
guidance on how to comply with the requirements of OSHA standards. Enforcement programs are targeted to the investigation
of imminent danger situations and employee complaints, investigation of fatal and catastrophic accidents, programmed inspections
of firms with injury-illness rates that are above the national average, and special emphasis inspections for serious safety
and health hazards. OSHA's enforcement strategy ranges from a selective targeting of inspections and related compliance activities
to specific high hazard industries and worksites.
Whistleblower Programs._This activity provides for the enforcement of Section 11(c) of the OSH Act, which prohibits any person from discharging or
in any manner retaliating against any employee because the employee has exercised rights under the Act, including complaining
to OSHA and seeking an OSHA inspection, participating in an OSHA inpection, and participating or testifying in any proceeding
related to an OSHA inspection. In addition, OSHA is responsible for enforcing more than 21 other whistleblower protection
statutes that protect employees who report violations of various airline, commercial motor carrier, consumer product, environmental,
financial reform, food safety, health care reform, nuclear, pipeline, public transportation agency, railroad, maritime, automotive
manufacturing, and securities laws.
State Programs._This activity supports states in assuming responsibility for administering occupational safety and health programs under State
OSHA plans approved by the Secretary. Under section 23 of the OSH Act, grants matching up to fifty percent of total program
costs are made to States that meet the Act's criteria for establishing and implementing State OSHA programs that are at least
as effective as the Federal program. State programs, like their Federal counterparts, provide a mix of enforcement, outreach,
training, and compliance assistance activities.
Technical Support._This activity provides specialized technical expertise and advice in support of a wide range of program areas, including construction,
standards setting, variance determinations, compliance assistance, and enforcement. Areas of expertise include laboratory
accreditation, industrial hygiene, occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, chemical analysis, equipment calibration,
safety engineering, environmental impact statements, technical and scientific databases, computer-based outreach products,
and emergency preparedness. This activity also provides support for OSHA's emergency response activities, including responses
to oil spills, hurricanes, tornados, and other natural or man-made disasters.
Federal Compliance Assistance._This activity supports a range of training, outreach, and cooperative programs that provide compliance assistance for employers
and employees in protecting workers' safety and health, with particular emphasis on small business, immigrant, and other high
risk and hard-to-reach workers. OSHA works with employers and employees through Voluntary Protection Programs that recognize
and promote effective safety and health management partnerships that focus on the development of extended cooperative relationships
and alliances that commit organizations to collaborative efforts with OSHA. This activity also provides assistance to federal
agencies in implementing and improving their job safety and health programs. Occupational safety and health training is provided
at the OSHA Training Institute and affiliated Education Centers throughout the country. Compliance and technical assistance
materials are prepared and disseminated to the public through various means, including the Internet.
State Compliance Assistance: Consultation Grants._This activity supports 90 percent Federally funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies to provide free on-site
consultation to small and medium-sized employers upon request. State agencies tailor workplans to specific needs in each State
while maximizing their impact on injury and illness rates in smaller establishments. These projects offer a variety of services,
including safety and health program assessment and assistance, hazard identification and control, and training of employers
and their employees.
Compliance Assistance: Training Grants._This activity supports safety and health grants to organizations that provide face-to-face training, education, technical
assistance, and develop educational materials for employers and employees. These grants address safety and health education
needs related to hard-to-reach workers and specific high-risk topics and industries identified by the agency.
Safety and Health Statistics._This activity supports information technology infrastructure, management of information, OSHA's webpage and web-based compliance
assistance services, and the statistical basis for OSHA's programs and field operations. These are provided through an integrated
data network and statistical analysis and review. OSHA administers and maintains the recordkeeping system that serves as the
foundation for the BLS survey on occupational injuries and illnesses and provides guidance on recordkeeping requirements to
both the public and private sectors.
Executive direction and administration._This activity supports executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support, legislative liaison, interagency
affairs, federal agency liaison, administrative services, and budgeting and financial control.

Enforcement._The enforcement strategy in 2014 will be an integrated approach toward the prevention of mining accidents, injuries, and occupational
illnesses. This includes inspection of mines and other activities as mandated by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977 (Mine Act), as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act), special emphasis initiatives
that focus on persistent safety and health hazards, promulgation of federal mine safety and health standards, investigation
of serious accidents, and on-site education and training. The desired outcome of these enforcement efforts is to prevent death,
disease, and injury from mining and promote safe and healthful workplaces for the Nation's miners. In 2014, MSHA is proposing
appropriations language that would provide the agency with additional flexibility to internally reallocate funding to ensure
the enforcement programs have the necessary resources to effectively conduct mandated inspections or investigations.
Office of Assessments, Accountability, Special Enforcement and Investigations._ This activity assesses and collects civil monetary penalties for violations of safety and health standards and manages MSHA's
accountability, special enforcement, and investigation functions.
Educational Policy and Development._This activity develops and coordinates MSHA's mine safety and health education and training policies, and provides classroom
instruction at the National Mine Health and Safety Academy for MSHA personnel, other governmental personnel, and the mining
industry.
Technical Support._This activity applies engineering and scientific expertise through field and laboratory forensic investigations to resolve
technical problems associated with implementing the Mine Act and the MINER Act. Technical Support administers a fee program
to approve equipment, materials, and explosives for use in mines and performs field and laboratory audits of equipment previously
approved by MSHA. It also collects and analyzes data relative to the cause, frequency, and circumstances of mine accidents.
In 2014, MSHA is proposing appropriations language that would authorize the agency to charge a fee for the analysis of rock
dust samples for determination of compliance. As full implementation of this authority will require rulemaking that will not
commence until the authority has been provided, MSHA does not anticipate beginning to collect fees until 2015.
Program Evaluation and Information Resources (PEIR)._This activity provides program evaluation and information technology resource management services for the agency.
Program Administration._This activity performs general administrative functions and is responsible for meeting performance requirements and developing
MSHA's performance plan and Annual Performance Report.

Jobs for Veterans State grants._The Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) of 2002 provides the foundation for this budget activity. The JVA requires the Veterans Employment
and Training Service (VETS) to act on behalf of the Secretary in the promulgation of policies and regulations that ensure
maximum employment and training opportunities for veterans and priority of service for veterans within the State workforce
delivery system for employment and training programs funded in whole or in part by the U.S. Department of Labor. Under the
JVA, resources are allocated to States to support Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists and Local Veterans'
Employment Representatives (LVERs).
Disabled Veterans Outreach Program specialists (38 U.S.C. 4103A) provide intensive services to meet the employment needs of
eligible veterans. DVOPs place maximum emphasis on helping economically or educationally disadvantaged veterans. Priority
of service (38 U.S.C. 4215) is given to special disabled veterans, other disabled veterans, and other eligible veterans.
Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (38 U.S.C. 4104) conduct outreach to employers as well as assist veterans in gaining
employment by conducting job search workshops and establishing job search support groups. LVERs also facilitate employment,
training, and placement services provided to veterans under the applicable State employment service delivery system, including
One-Stop Career Centers. In addition, each LVER provides reports to the manager of the State employment service delivery
system and to the State Director for Veterans Employment and Training (38 U.S.C. 4103) regarding the State's compliance with
Federal law and regulations with respect to special services and priorities for eligible veterans.
Transition Assistance Program._This program provides employment workshops for departing service members in the continental U.S. and at major overseas installations.
VETS coordinates with the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security to provide transition services to
military service members separating from active duty. TAP is implemented worldwide and provides labor-market and employment-related
information and other services to separating service members and their spouses. The goal of TAP is to expedite and facilitate
the transition from military to civilian employment.
Federal management._VETS' Federal management budget activity carries out programs and develops policies to provide veterans the maximum employment
and training opportunities (38 U.S.C. 4102–4103A) and to investigate complaints received under the Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) (38 USC 4322). Veterans' Preference activities, which are intended to assist veterans
in obtaining Federal employment (39 U.S.C. 4214), are also supported under this activity.
Resources under this activity are also used to evaluate the job training and employment assistance services provided to veterans
under the Jobs for Veterans State Grants (38 USC 4102A), the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (Section 738 of the Stewart
B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (MHAA) of July 1987, and amended by Section 5 of the Homeless Veterans Comprehensive Assistance
Act (HVCAA of 2001), and the Veterans Workforce Investment Program (Section 168, Workforce Investment Act, P.L. 105–220).
This budget activity supports field activities and personnel who provide technical assistance to grantees to ensure they meet
negotiated and mandated performance goals and other grant provisions.
This budget activity also supports the oversight and development of policies for the Transition Assistance Program (10 USC
1144 and 38 USC 4113). The activity funds outreach and education efforts, such as job fairs, that raise the awareness of
employers about the benefits of hiring veterans. The activities of the Advisory Committee for Veterans Employment, Training,
and Employer Outreach (38 USC 4110) also are supported. The REALifeLines initiative facilitates timely and comprehensive
employment services to our Nation's severely wounded and injured veterans.
National Veterans' Employment and Training Services Institute._The National Veterans' Training Institute (NVTI) supplies competency-based training to Federal and State providers of services
to veterans (38 U.S.C. 4109). NVTI also provides training for Veterans Employment and Training Service personnel. NVTI is
administered through a contract and supported by dedicated funds. NVTI ensures that these service providers receive a comprehensive
foundation so they can effectively assist job-seeking veterans.
Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program._The Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP) (38 U.S.C. 2021) provides grants to States or other public entities, as
well as to non-profits, including faith-based organizations. Grant awards enable grantees to operate employment programs
to reach out to homeless veterans and help them become employed. VETS partners with the Departments of Veterans Affairs and
Housing and Urban Development to promote multi-agency-funded programs that integrate the different services needed by homeless
veterans. HVRP grants are provided for both urban and rural areas.
Veterans' Workforce Investment Program._The Veterans' Workforce Investment Program (VWIP) (Section 168 of P.L. 105–220) provides competitive grants geared toward
training and retraining to create employment opportunities for veterans in high-skill occupations, and to meet employer demands.
The fiscal year 2014 Budget will end funding for this program and instead support service delivery innovations through the
Workforce Innovation Fund.

SEC. 519. Performance Partnership Pilots
(a) Definitions In this section —
(1) "Performance Partnership Pilot" (or "Pilot") is a project that seeks to identify, through a demonstration, cost-effective
strategies for providing services at the state, regional, or local level that—
(A) involve two or more Federal programs (administered by one or more Federal agencies)—
(i) which have related policy goals, and
(ii) at least one of which is administered (in whole or in part) by a state, local, or tribal government; and
(B) achieve better results for regions, communities, or specific at risk populations through making better use of the budgetary
resources that are available for supporting such programs.
(2) "To improve outcomes for disconnected youth" means to increase the rate at which individuals between the ages of 14 and
24 (who are homeless, in foster care, involved in the juvenile justice system, or are neither employed nor enrolled in an
educational institution) achieve success in meeting educational, employment or other key goals.
(3) The "lead Federal administering agency" is the Federal agency, to be designated by the Director of the Office of Management
and Budget (from among the participating Federal agencies that have statutory responsibility for the Federal discretionary
funds that will be used in a Performance Partnership Pilot) that will enter into and administer the particular Performance
Partnership Agreement on behalf of that agency and the other participating Federal agencies.
(b) Use of Discretionary Funds in Fiscal Year 2014 Appropriations Act. Federal agencies may use Federal discretionary funds,
that are made available in this act or any other appropriations act providing funds for Fiscal Year 2014 and corresponding
authority to enter into Performance Partnership Pilots, to carry out up to a total of 13 Performance Partnership Pilots involving
up to a total of $130,000,000 in aggregate Federal discretionary budget authority. Such Pilots shall:
(1) be designed to improve outcomes for disconnected youth, and
(2) involve Federal programs targeted on disconnected youth, or designed to prevent youth from disconnecting from school or
work, that provide education, training and employment, and other related social services; and
(c) Performance Partnership Agreements. Federal agencies may use Federal discretionary funds, as authorized in subsection
(b), to participate in a Performance Partnership Pilot only in accordance with the terms of a Performance Partnership Agreement
that—
(1) is entered into between—
(A) the head of the lead Federal administering agency, on behalf of all of the participating Federal agencies (subject to
the head of the lead Federal administering agency having received from the heads of each of the other participating agencies
their written concurrence for entering into the Agreement), and
(B) the respective representatives of all of the state, local or tribal governments that are participating in the Agreement;
and
(2) specifies, at a minimum, the following information:
(A) the length of the Agreement (which shall not extend beyond September 30, 2018);
(B) the Federal programs and federally-funded services that are involved in the Pilot;
(C) the Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot (by the respective Federal account identifier, and the
total amount from such account that is being used in the Pilot), and the period (or periods) of availability for obligation
(by the Federal Government) of such funds;
(D) the non-Federal funds that are involved in the Pilot, by source (which can include private funds as well as governmental
funds) and by amount;
(E) the state, local, or tribal programs that are involved in the Pilot;
(F) the populations to be served by the Pilot;
(G) the cost-effective Federal oversight procedures that will be used for the purpose of maintaining the necessary level of
accountability for the use of the Federal discretionary funds;
(H) the cost-effective State, local or tribal oversight procedures that will be used for the purpose of maintaining the necessary
level of accountability for the use of the Federal discretionary funds;
(I) the outcome (or outcomes) that the Pilot is designed to achieve;
(J) the appropriate, reliable, and objective outcome-measurement methodology that the Federal Government and the participating
state, local, or tribal governments will use, in carrying out the Pilot, to determine whether the Pilot is achieving, and
has achieved, the specified outcomes that the Pilot is designed to achieve; and
(K) in cases where, during the course of the Pilot, it is determined that the Pilot is not achieving the specified outcomes
that it is designed to achieve,
(i) the consequences that will result from such deficiencies with respect to the Federal discretionary funds that are being
used in the Pilot, and
(ii) the corrective actions that will be taken in order to increase the likelihood that the Pilot, upon completion, will have
achieved such specified outcomes.
(d) Agency Head Determinations. A Federal agency may participate in a Performance Partnership Pilot (including by providing
Federal discretionary funds that have been appropriated to such agency) only upon the written determination by the head of
such agency that the agency's participation in such Pilot—
(1) will not result in denying or restricting the eligibility of any individual for any of the services that (in whole or
in part) are funded by the agency's programs and Federal discretionary funds that are involved in the Pilot, and
(2) based on the best available information, will not otherwise adversely affect vulnerable populations that are the recipients
of such services. In making this determination, the head of the agency may take into consideration the other Federal discretionary
funds that will be used in the Pilot as well as any non-Federal funds (including from private sources as well as governmental
sources) that will be used in the Pilot.
(e) Transfer Authority. For the purpose of carrying out the Pilot in accordance with the Performance Partnership Agreement,
and subject to the written approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the head of each participating
Federal agency may transfer Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot to an account of the lead Federal
administering agency that includes Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot. Subject to the waiver authority
under subsection (g), such transferred funds shall remain available for the same purposes for which such funds were originally
appropriated: Provided, That such transferred funds shall remain available for obligation by the Federal Government until
the expiration of those Federal discretionary funds (which are being used in the Pilot) that have the longest period of availability,
except that any such transferred funds shall not remain available beyond September 30, 2018.
(f) Waiver Authority. In connection with a Federal agency's participation in a Performance Partnership Pilot, and subject
to the other provisions of this section (including subsection (e)), the head of the Federal agency to which the Federal discretionary
funds were appropriated may waive (in whole or in part) the application, solely to such discretionary funds that are being
used in the Pilot, of any statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirement that such agency head—
(1) is otherwise authorized to waive (in accordance with the terms and conditions of such other authority), and
(2) is not otherwise authorized to waive, provided that in such case the agency head, prior to granting the waiver, shall—
(A) not waive any requirement related to nondiscrimination, wage and labor standards, or allocation of funds to State and
sub-state levels;
(B) issue a written determination with respect to such discretionary funds that the granting of such waiver for purposes of
the Pilot—
(i) is consistent with both—
(I) the statutory purposes of the Federal program for which such discretionary funds were appropriated, and
(II) the other provisions of this section, including the written determination by the agency head issued under subsection
(e);
(ii) is necessary to achieve the outcomes of the Pilot as specified in the Performance Partnership Agreement, and is no broader
in scope than is necessary to achieve such outcomes; and
(iii) will result in either—
(I) realizing efficiencies by simplifying reporting burdens or reducing administrative barriers with respect to such discretionary
funds, or
(II) increasing the ability of individuals to obtain access to services that are provided by such discretionary funds; and
(C) provide at least 60 days advance written notice to the Committees on Appropriations and other committees of jurisdiction
in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
