SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Department of Labor regulations implementing Executive Orders 12073 and 10582 are set forth at 20 CFR Part 654, Subparts A and B. Subpart A requires the Assistant Secretary of Labor to classify jurisdictions as labor surplus areas pursuant to the criteria specified in the regulations and to publish annually a list of labor surplus areas. Pursuant to those regulations the Assistant Secretary of Labor is hereby publishing the annual list of labor surplus areas.

Subpart B of Part 654 states that an area of substantial unemployment for purposes of Executive Order 10582 is any area classified as a labor surplus area under Subpart A. Thus, labor surplus areas under Executive Order 12073 are also areas of substantial unemployment under Executive Order 10582.

The areas listed below have been classified by the Assistant Secretary as labor surplus areas pursuant to 20 CFR 654.5(b)(48 FR 15615 April 12, 1983) effective October 1, 2000, except for Michigan where Fiscal Year 2001 classifications will be issued at a later date.
