Advisory Committee on Increasing Competitive Integrated 
Employment for Individuals With Disabilities; Notice of Meeting

    The Advisory Committee on Increasing Competitive Integrated 
Employment for Individuals with Disabilities (the Committee) was 
mandated by section 609 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended 
by section 461 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The 
Secretary of Labor established the Committee on September 15, 2014 in 
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 
as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2. The purpose of the Committee is to study 
and prepare findings, conclusions and recommendations for Congress and 
the Secretary of Labor on (1) ways to increase employment opportunities 
for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities or 
other individuals with significant disabilities in competitive, 
integrated employment; (2) the use of the certificate program carried 
out under section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 
U.S.C. 214(c)); and (3) ways to improve oversight of the use of such 
certificates.
    The Committee is required to meet no less than eight times. It is 
also required to submit an interim report within one year of the 
Committee's establishment to: The Secretary of Labor; the Senate 
Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; and the House 
Committee on Education and the Workforce by September 15, 2015. A final 
report must be submitted to the same entities no later than two years 
from the Committee establishment date. The Committee terminates one day 
after the submission of the final report.
    The next meeting of the Committee will take place on Wednesday, 
October 14, 2015, and Thursday, October 15, 2015. The meeting will be 
open to the public on Wednesday, October 14th from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 
p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). On Thursday, October 15th, the 
meeting will be open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT. The 
meeting will take place at the U.S. Access Board, 1331 F Street NW., 
Suite 800, Washington, DC 20004-1111.
    On October 14th and 15th, the four subcommittees of the Committee 
will report out on their work since the last meeting of the Committee 
on August 10th. The four subcommittees are: The Transition to Careers 
Subcommittee, the Complexity and Needs in Delivering Competitive 
Integrated Employment Subcommittee, the Marketplace Dynamics 
Subcommittee, and the Building State and Local Capacity Subcommittee. 
Each subcommittee will have 30 minutes to present its most recent work 
for full discussion by the Committee. In addition, the whole Committee 
will discuss next steps and timelines for the final report of the 
Committee.
    In addition, the Committee will hear from several different panels 
on a number of topics, including, but not limited to: An expert panel 
from AbilityOne[supreg], SourceAmerica, and National Industries for the 
Blind, a panel of individuals with disabilities who work in center-
based workshops, and a panel of students with disabilities addressing 
the problems of finding a job after completing postsecondary education.

interim report or other matters before the Committee during the public 
comment period of the meeting on Wednesday, October 14th between 1:00 
p.m. and 2:45 p.m., EDT, should send their name, their organization's
