The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) seeks public comment on alternative estimates of the LSC-eligible agricultural worker population in Michigan. LSC obtained current estimates of LSC-eligible agricultural worker populations from the United States Department of Labor's Employment Training Administration (ETA) for the states, territories, and DC in order to revise LSC's distribution of LSC Basic Field funding between legal services grants for serving (1) the eligible general population and (2) the eligible agricultural worker population. LSC published those estimates for comment and received suggestions for alternative estimates in Michigan. LSC is publishing the alternative Michigan estimates for public comment.

Grants

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) seeks public comment on 
alternative estimates of the LSC-eligible agricultural worker 
population in Michigan. LSC obtained current estimates of LSC-eligible 
agricultural worker populations from the United States Department of 
Labor's Employment Training Administration (ETA) for the states, 
territories, and DC in order to revise LSC's distribution of LSC Basic 
Field funding between legal services grants for serving (1) the 
eligible general population and (2) the eligible agricultural worker 
population. LSC published those estimates for comment and received 
suggestions for alternative estimates in Michigan. LSC is publishing 
the alternative Michigan estimates for public comment.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before May 19, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Written comments must be submitted to Mark Freedman, Senior 
Associate General Counsel, Legal Services Corporation, 3333 K St. NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) seeks public comment on 
alternative estimates of the population of agricultural workers and 
dependents in Michigan who are LSC-eligible. The Michigan Advocacy 
Program (MAP) submitted these alternatives for LSC to use in lieu of 
the estimates provided by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment 
Training Administration (ETA). LSC intends to select estimates to use 
for distribution of appropriated Basic Field Programs funds between 
legal services grants in Michigan serving the (1) eligible general 
population (Basic Field--General) and (2) the eligible agricultural 
worker population (Basic Field--Migrant).
    On February 3, 2015, LSC published a notice for comment in the 
Federal Register with the history and context of LSC's decision to 
update the estimates of the eligible agricultural worker population in 
all LSC geographic areas (including the 50 states, the District of 
Columbia, and many U.S. territories), 80 FR 5791, February 3, 2015. LSC 
published the ETA estimates and related information online at 
www.lsc.gov/ag-worker-data. In response to the comments received, LSC 
obtained revised estimates from ETA, which LSC published for comment on 
February 5, 2016, 81 FR 6295, Feb. 5, 2016. MAP submitted alternative 
estimates for Michigan in response to the 2016 notice. LSC has posted 
the comments and materials related to this topic at www.lsc.gov/ag-worker-data. The MAP materials are:

 Michigan Advocacy Project, Comments (March 21, 2016)
 Michigan Advocacy Project, Attachments (March 21, 2016)

II. Proposed Alternative Estimates

    MAP submitted proposals increasing the estimate of the number of 
eligible agricultural workers and dependents in Michigan, including by:

[[Page 19246]]

    1. Increasing the estimate of total agricultural workers from 
80,549 to 87,870; and
    2. Increasing the percentage of dependents who are eligible from 
31% to 60%. MAP provides analysis supporting these proposals in its 
comments.

III. Request for Comments

    LSC seeks comment solely on the specific MAP proposals enumerated 
above. Comments should specifically address the rationale provided by 
MAP in its comments.

Assistant General Counsel.
