Sec. 670.450  How are applicants who meet eligibility and selection criteria assigned to centers?

    (a) Each applicant who meets the application and selection 
requirements of Secs. 670.400 and 670.410 is assigned to a center based 
on an assignment plan developed by the Secretary. The assignment plan 
identifies a target for the maximum percentage of students at each 
center who come from the State or region nearest the center, and the 
regions surrounding the center. The assignment plan is based on an 
analysis of:
    (1) The number of eligible individuals in the State and region where 
the center is located and the regions surrounding where the center is 
located;
    (2) The demand for enrollment in Job Corps in the State and region 
where the center is located and in surrounding regions; and
    (3) The size and enrollment level of the center.
    (b) Eligible applicants are assigned to centers closest to their 
homes, unless it is determined, based on the special needs of 
applicants, including vocational interests and English literacy

needs, the unavailability of openings in the closest center, or parent 
or guardian concerns, that another center is more appropriate.
    (c) A student who is under the age of 18 must not be assigned to a 
center other than the center closest to home if a parent or guardian 
objects to the assignment.
