DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Notice on Reallotment of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title I 
Formula Allotted Funds for Dislocated Worker Activities for Program 
Year (PY) 2010

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Workforce Investment Act, Public Law 105-220, requires the 
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to conduct reallotment of dislocated 
worker formula allotted funds based on State financial reports 
submitted as of the end of the prior PY. This notice publishes PY 2010 
dislocated worker funds for recapture by State and the amount to be 
reallotted to eligible States.

DATES: This notice is effective March 16, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Grace Kilbane, Administrator, U.S. 
Department of Labor, Office of Workforce Investment, Employment and 
Training Administration, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room S-4231, 
Washington, DC. Telephone (202) 693-3980 (this is not a toll-free 
number) or fax (202) 693-3981.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: WIA Section 132(c) requires the Secretary to 
conduct reallotment of WIA funds for the prior program year in any case 
where unobligated balances exceeded twenty percent. The procedures the 
Secretary uses for recapture and reallotment of funds are described in 
WIA regulation at 20 Code of Federal Regulations Section 667.150. For 
PY 2009 funds, financial reports were analyzed and found zero instances 
for the WIA Youth and Adult programs in which unobligated balances 
exceeded twenty percent. For the Dislocated Worker program, however, 
there were two States that had unobligated PY 2009 funds in excess of 
20 percent. Therefore, a total of $408,982 will be recaptured from PY 
2010 funding from these two States and reallotted to the remaining 
States, as required by WIA Section 132(c). The description of the 
methodology used for the calculation of the recapture/reallotment 
amounts and the distribution of the changes to PY 2010 formula 
allotments for dislocated worker activities are attached.
    For any State from which funds are being recaptured, WIA Section 
132(c)(5) requires the governor to prescribe equitable procedures for 
reacquiring funds from the State and local areas.

Dislocated Worker State Formula PY 2010 Reallotment Methodology

Reallotment Summary
    This year, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) 
analyzed State Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Dislocated Worker 9130 
financial reports from the 6/30/10 reporting period for program year 
(PY) 2009 to determine if any State had unobligated funds in excess of 
twenty percent of their PY 2009 allotment amount. If so, that amount 
will be recaptured from PY 2010 funds and realloted among eligible 
States.
    <bullet> Source Data: State WIA 9130 Financial Status Reports.
    <bullet> Program:
State Dislocated Worker.
Rapid Response.
Local Dislocated Worker (includes local administration).
    <bullet> Period: June 30, 2010.
    <bullet> Years Covered: PY 2009.
Reallotment Calculation Process
    (1) Determine the unobligated balance: In order to accomplish this, 
ETA computes the State's total amount of PY 2009 State obligations 
(including FY 2010 funds) for the Dislocated Worker (DW) program. State 
obligations are the sum of DW statewide activities obligations, Rapid 
Response obligations, and 100 percent of local DW program funds (which 
includes funds for local administration). The State's total unobligated 
balance for the DW program is the 2009 DW allotment amount minus the 
total DW obligations. (Note: for re-allotment purposes, DW allotted 
funds transferred to the Navajo Nation are added back to Arizona, New 
Mexico, and Utah local DW authorized amounts).
    (2) Excluding State administrative costs: Section 667.150 of the 
regulations provides that the recapture calculations exclude the 
reserve for State administration, which is part of the DW statewide 
activities. Data on State administrative amounts authorized and 
obligated are not reported on WIA 9130 financial reports. In the 
preliminary calculation to determine States potentially liable for 
recapture, the DW portion of the State administrative amount authorized 
is estimated by calculating the five percent maximum amount for State 
DW administrative costs using the DW State allotment amounts. For the 
DW portion of the State administrative amount obligated, 100 percent of 
the estimated authorized amount is treated as obligated.
    (3) Follow-up with States potentially liable for recapture: ETA 
requests that those States potentially liable for recapture provide 
additional data on State administrative amounts included in the PY 2009 
and FY 2010 Statewide Activities amounts (authorized and obligated as 
of 6/30/10). If a State provides actual State DW administrative costs, 
authorized and obligated, in the comments section of revised 9130 
reports, this data replaces the estimates. Based on the requested 
additional actual data submitted by potentially liable States on 
revised reports, the DW total allotment for these States is reduced by 
the DW portion of the State administrative amount authorized. Likewise, 
the DW total obligations for these States are reduced by the DW portion 
of the obligated State administrative funding.
    (4) Those States (including those adjusted by actual State 
administrative data) with unobligated balances exceeding 20 percent of 
the combined PY2009 DW allotment amount will have their PY 2010 DW 
funding (from the FY 2011 advance portion of PY 2010 DW funding made 
available in the FY 2010 Appropriations Act) reduced (recaptured) by 
the amount of the excess.
    (5) Finally, States with unobligated balances which do not exceed 
20 percent (eligible States) will receive a share of the total 
recaptured amount (based on their share of the total PY 2009 DW 
allotments of eligible States) in their PY 2010 DW funding (the FY 2011 
advance portion of PY 2010 DW funding made available in the FY 2010 
Appropriations Act).

    Signed at Washington, DC this 11th day of March, 2011.

Assistant Secretary for the Employment and Training Administration.
