The Honorable William F. Goodling

Chairman, Committee on Economic and

 Educational Opportunities

House of Representatives

The Honorable John R. Kasich

Chairman, Committee on Budget

House of Representatives

As you know, we have compiled a list of 163 programs and funding

streams that provide about $20 billion in employment training assistance.

During recent testimony before the Senate Committee on Labor and

Human Resources and the House Subcommittee on Postsecondary

Education, Training and Lifelong Learning, Committee on Economic and

Educational Opportunities,1

 we stated that the current number of

employment training programs has increased to 163 since our initial work

in 1991. We also said that this fragmented “system” wastes resources and

confuses and frustrates clients, employers, and administrators. At your

request, we have compiled additional information to assist you as you

make important but difficult decisions about overhauling and

consolidating the system of employment training assistance.

Specifically, this fact sheet provides a crosswalk of information for each

program, including (1) fiscal year 1995 appropriation, (2) summary of the

program purpose as it relates to employment training activities,

(3) authorizing legislation and U.S. Code citation, (4) Catalog of Federal

Domestic Assistance program number, (5) budget account number,

(6) target group, and (7) type of employment training assistance provided.

Detailed information is contained in appendix I.

This information is based primarily on applicable law, the Catalog of

Federal Domestic Assistance, and agency documents, supplemented by

other sources as appropriate. While some programs serve more than one

target group or provide more than one type of assistance, we identified

only the primary target group and type of assistance.

Note: Listed programs provide employment training assistance to (1) help the unemployed find

jobs, (2) create job opportunities, and (3) enhance skill levels of adults and out-of-school youths

not enrolled in advanced-degree programs. Fiscal year 1995 appropriations were based on

information obtained from the Office of Management and Budget and other federal departments.

When appropriate, and unless otherwise noted, we excluded estimated funds that would provide

assistance for in-school youths, advanced degrees, or services unrelated to employment training

assistance. Programs without funding are authorized, but funds were not appropriated in FY

1995. Other information contained in this table is based primarily on applicable law, the Catalog

of Federal Domestic Assistance, and agency documents, supplemented by other sources as

appropriate.

Federal Family Education Loan amount shown is an estimate for adults and out-of-school youths

administrative costs, interest subsidies for the Stafford Loan Program, and costs associated with

made before FY 1992. For administrative costs and interest subsidies, the calculation is based on

FY 1992 loan program data on the distribution of funds (29 percent) for borrowers in 2-year public

and private nonprofit institutions of higher education and proprietary schools. For default costs,

the calculation is based on FY 1995 budget estimates, estimated default rates by institution, and

distribution of default costs (53 percent) for borrowers from those institutions. More recent data

are unavailable at this time.
