SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act of 1972, as established 

under 29 CFR Part 75, authorizes the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

to make or guarantee loans or grants to 

finance industrial and business 

activities in rural areas. The Secretary of 

Labor must review the application for 

financial assistance for the purpose of 

certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture 

that the assistance is not calculated, or 

likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any 

employment or business activity from 

one area to another by the loan 

applicant’s business operation; or, (b) 

An increase in the production of goods, 

materials, services, or facilities in an 

area where there is not sufficient 

demand to employ the efficient capacity 

of existing competitive enterprises 

unless the financial assistance will not 

have an adverse impact on existing 

competitive enterprises in the area. The 

Employment and Training 

Administration within the Department 

of Labor is responsible for the review 

and certification process. Comments 

should address the two bases for 

certification and, if possible, provide 

data to assist in the analysis of these 

issues.

3. Background. On February 17, 2009, 

President Obama signed the Recovery 

Act into Law. Part of the Recovery Act, 

the TGAAA reauthorized and made 

substantial changes to the TAA 

program. The TGAAA amended Section 

236(a)(2)(A) of the Trade Act to increase 

the cap on TAA training funds from 

$220 million to $575 million annually 

in both FY 2009 and FY 2010 and 

capped training funds for the first 

quarter of FY 2011 (October 1, 2010 

through December 31, 2010) at 

$143,750,000, consistent with a 

projected annual allocation of $575 

million under the expected 

reauthorization of the Act. The TGAAA 

further amended Section 236(a)(2)(B) 

and (C) of the Trade Act to: 

• Require 35, rather than 25 percent 

of the training funds to be held in 

reserve; 

• Provide for a ‘‘hold harmless’’ of 25, 

rather than 85 percent; 

• Set timelines for the distribution of 

training funds; and 

• Establish specific formula factors 

that the Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) must consider in 

making those distributions. 

The final regulations that govern these 

provisions, 20 CFR 618.900—618.940, 

went into effect April 2, 2010, with the 

publication of 20 CFR 618 ‘‘Trade 

Adjustment Assistance; Merit Staffing of 

State Administration and Allocation of 

Training Funds to States; Final Rule.’’ 

Although the Recovery Act reauthorized 

the TAA program and raised the cap on 

training funds, it did not appropriate 

any funds for the TAA program. Rather, 

the Consolidated Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 

111–8, appropriated TAA 

administrative and program funds to the 

Federal Unemployment Benefits and 

Allowances (FUBA) account. The FY 

2010 distributions of funds under TEGL 

9–09 were FUBA appropriations. The
