Section 211 of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 is amended by striking out “provision” in the title and inserting in lieu thereof “provisions”, by inserting “(a)” immediately before the first sentence, and by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection: “(b) No officer or employee of the Department of Labor shall, by regulation or otherwise, impose on any eligible applicant, as a condition for the receipt of financial assistance under this title, any requirement that any eligible applicant must place in other jobs a specific88 Stat. 1848 number or proportion of public service jobholders supported under this title. The Secretary may establish placement goals for eligible applicants, except that such goals must be identified as goals, not requirements, and any form or other document developed pursuant to such regulations shall give written notice to that effect. Any eligible applicant shall have the right, clearly stated in such regulations, to request a waiver of such goals if, in his judgment, such goals are not feasible. Such waiver, a request for which may be submitted at any time, may be granted by the Secretary where, in his judgment, local conditions warrant it. Wherever such a waiver has been granted, failure to meet placement goals shall not be cited in any official review or evaluation of that eligible applicant’s programs.”
