DESCRIPTION: These funding requests for proposed projects and program records document the administrative and fiscal operations of the Dislocated Worker Program. The program was a joint venture by the Office of Job Training for Economic Development (OJTED), Employment Security, Social Services, and the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) to create a single resource center in Utah to serve dislocated copper and steel workers. Information includes meeting minutes and agendas from the Appropriation and Monitoring Committee, reports of the steel and copper industry in Utah, grant proposals, fund appropriations according to the number of dislocated workers from those companies, data about the implementation, operation, closeout of the Dislocated Worker Resource Center, Title III Discretionary Funds, and National Reserve Account Grants. When the Resource Center closed in 1988, the participating agencies divided the records the participating agencies divided the records among themselves.

APPRAISAL
Historical Legal
This disposition is based upon 20 CFR 629.35(3)(1990) which applies to JTPA Title III program records. "For funds allotted to a State for any program year, records must be retained for two years following the date on which the annual expenditure report containing the final expenditures charged to such program year's allotment is submitted to the Department of Labor." Also, "if any litigation or audit is begun or if a claim is instituted involving the grant or agreement covered by the records," the records shall be retained until litigation, the audit, or the claim is resolved. Although the program records were divided up among participating agencies when the program was discontinued, the records contain material that is relevant to the study of the declining steel and copper industry within the state, and the efforts to deal with the workers who were dislocated by the decline. The meeting minutes and agenda of the Appropriation and Monitoring Committee reveal the discussions and issues that were relevant during this time period.
