SEC. 611. ESTABLISHMENT OF PILOT PROGRAM
(a) In order to promote useful opportunities in community
service activities for individuals with handicaps who have
poor employment prospects, the Secretary of Labor
(hereinafter in this part referred to as the "Secretary")
is authorized to establish a community service employment
pilot program for individuals with handicaps. For purposes
of this part, the term "eligible individuals" means
persons who are individuals with handicaps (as defined in
section 7(8 )(A) of this Act) and who are referred to
programs under this part by designated State units.
(b)(1) The Secretary may enter into agreements with public
or private nonprofit agencies or organizations,
including national organizations, agencies of a State
government or a political subdivision of a State (having
elected or duly appointed governing officials), or a
combination of such political subdivisions, or tribal
organizations in order to carry out the pilot program
referred to in subsection (a). Such agreements may
include provisions consistent with subsection (c) for
the payment of the costs of projects developed by such
organizations and agencies in cooperation with the
Secretary. No payment shall be made by the Secretary
toward the cost of any such project unless the Secretary
determines that:
(A) Such project will provide employment only for
eligible individuals, except that if eligible
individuals are not available to serve as technical,
administrative, or supervisory personnel for a
project then such personnel may be recruited from
among other individuals.
(B) Such project will provide employment for eligible
individuals in the community in which such
individuals reside, or in nearby communities.

services related to publicly owned and operated
facilities and projects, or projects sponsored by

from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, except for projects involving
the construction, operation, or maintenance of any
facility used or to be used as a place for sectarian
religious instruction or worship.
(D) Such project will contribute to the general welfare
of the community in which eligible individuals are
employed under such project.
(E) Such project
(i) will result in an increase in employment
opportunities over those opportunities which would
otherwise be available, 
(ii) will not result in any displacement of currently

employed workers (including partial displacement,
such as a reduction in the hours of non overtime
work or wages or employment benefits), and
(iii) will not impair existing contracts or result in
the substitution of Federal funds for other funds
in connection with work that would otherwise be
performed.
(F) Such project will not employ any eligible individual
to perform work which is the same or substantially
the same as that performed by any other person who is
on layoff from employment with the agency or
organization sponsoring such project.
(G) Such project will utilize methods of recruitment and
selection (including the listing of job vacancies
with the State agency units designated under section
101(a)(2)(A) to administer vocational rehabilitation
services under this Act) which will assure that the
maximum number of eligible individuals will have an
opportunity to participate in the project.
(H) Such project will provide for

most effective use of the skills and talents of
individuals who are participating in the project,
and 
(ii) during the period of such training, a reasonable
subsistence allowance for such individuals and the
payment of any other reasonable expenses related to
such training.

conditions for any eligible individual employed under

with the advice of
(i) persons competent in the field of service in
which employment is being provided, and 
(ii) persons who are knowledgeable with regard to the
needs of individuals with handicaps.
(K) Such project will pay any reasonable costs for
work-related expenses, transportation, and personal
assistance services incurred by eligible individuals
employed under such project in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
(L) Such project will provide appropriate placement
services for employees under the project to assist
them in locating unsubsidized employment when the
Federal assistance for the project terminates.
(2) The rate of pay referred to in subparagraph (I) of
paragraph (1) is the highest of the following:
(A) The prevailing rate of pay for persons employed in
similar occupations by the same employer.
(B) The minimum wage which would be applicable to the
employee under the fair Labor Standards Act of 1938
if such employee were not exempt from such Act under

section 13 thereof.
(C) The State or local minimum wage for the most nearly
comparable covered employment.
The Department of Labor shall not issue any certificate
of exemption under section 14(c) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938 with respect to any person
employed in a project under this section.
(c)(1) The Secretary may pay not to exceed 90 percent of the

may be in cash or in kind. In determining the amount of
the non-Federal share, the Secretary may attribute fair
market value to services and facilities contributed from
non-Federal sources.

part, the Secretary shall, through the Commissioner of the
Rehabilitation Services Administration, consult with any
designated State unit with regard to-"
(1) the localities in which community service projects of
the type authorized by this part are most needed;
(2) the employment situations and types of skills
possessed by eligible individuals in such localities;
and
(3) potential projects suitable for funding in such
localities.
(b) The Secretary shall coordinate the pilot program
established under this part with programs authorized under
the Emergency Jobs and Unemployment Assistance Act of
1974, the Job Training Partnership Act, the Community
Services Act of 1974, and the Emergency Employment Act of

preceding sentence.
(c) In carrying out this part, the Secretary may, with the
consent of any other Federal, State, or local agency, use

agency with or without providing such agency with
reimbursement and may use the services, equipment, and
facilities of any other public or private entity on a
similar basis.
(d) Within one hundred and eighty days after the effective
date of this part, the Secretary shall issue and publish

in the Federal Register such regulations as may be
necessary to carry out this part.

not be subject to the provisions of part III of title 5,
United States Code.
(b) No contract shall be entered into under this part with a
contractor who is, or whose employees are, under State
law, exempted from operation of any State workmen's

be employed under such contract, through insurance by a
recognized carrier or by self-insurance authorized by
State law, workmen's compensation coverage equal to that
provided by law for covered employment.
(c) No part of the wages, allowances, or reimbursement for
transportation and personal assistance services made
available to an eligible individual employed in any
project funded under this part shall be treated as income
or benefits for the purpose of any other program or
provision of State or Federal law, unless the Secretary
makes a case by case determination that disallowance of
such income or benefits is inequitable or does not carry
out the purposes of this title.
SEC. 614. INTERAGENCY COOPERATION
(a) The Secretary shall consult with, and obtain the written
views of, the Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services
Administration before establishing rules or general policy
in the administration of this part.

needs of underserved States and the needs of Indian

tribes.
(2) The Secretary shall allot for projects within each

subsection (a) for any fiscal year which the Secretary
determines will not be required for such year shall be
reallotted, from time to time and on such dates during
such year as the Secretary may fix, to projects within
other States in proportion to the original allotments to
projects within such States under subsection (a) for such
year, but with such proportionate amount for any of such
other States being reduced to the extent it exceeds the
sum the Secretary estimates that projects within such
State need and will be able to use for such year. The
total of such reductions shall be similarly reallotted
among the States whose proportionate amounts were not so
reduced. Any amount reallotted to a State under this
subsection during a year shall be deemed part of its
allotment under subsection (a) for such year.
(c) The amount apportioned for projects within each State
under subsection (a) shall be apportioned among areas
within each such State in an equitable manner, taking into
consideration
(1) the proportion which eligible individuals in each such

in rural and urban areas within the State (including
individuals residing on Indian reservations).
