DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Allotments for Training and Employment Services as Specified in 
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) for 
Activities Under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA); Workforce 
Investment Act Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Activities Program 
Allotments; Wagner-Peyser Act Allotments, and Reemployment Service 
(RES) Allotments

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice announces States' allotments for The Department of 
Labor (DOL or Department) for training and employment services as 
specified in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 
(Recovery Act) for activities under the Workforce Investment Act of 
1998 (WIA)--Workforce Investment Act Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth 
Activities Program Allotments; Wagner-Peyser Act Allotments, and 
Reemployment Service (RES) Allotments. The funds for the allotments 
announced in this TEGL are part of the funds appropriated in the 
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 (the 
Recovery Act), signed into law February 17, 2009.
    The WIA allotments for States and the final allotments for the 
Wagner-Peyser Act are based on formulas defined in their respective 
statutes. The WIA allotments for the outlying areas are based on a 
formula determined by the Secretary. As required by WIA section 182(d), 
on February 17, 2000, a Notice of the discretionary formula for 
allocating PY 2000 funds for the outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, 
Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Northern Marianas, Palau, and the Virgin 
Islands) was published in the Federal Register at 65 FR 8236 (February 
17, 2000). The rationale for the formula and methodology was fully 
explained in the February 17, 2000, Federal Register Notice. The 
formula for PY 2008 is the same as used for PY 2000 and is described in 
the section on Youth Activities program allotments. Comments are 
invited on the formula used to allot funds to the outlying areas.

DATES: Comments on the formula used to allot funds to the outlying 
areas must be received by April 20, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Employment and Training 
Administration, Office of Financial and Administrative Management, 200 
Constitution Ave., NW., Room N-4702, Washington, DC 20210, Attention: 
Mr. Kenneth Leung, (202) 693-3471 (phone), (202) 693-2859 (fax), e-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) 
is announcing Allotments for training and employment services as 
specified in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 
(Recovery Act) for activities under the Workforce Investment Act of 
1998 (WIA)--Workforce Investment Act Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth 
Activities Program Allotments; Wagner-Peyser Act Allotments, and 
Reemployment Service (RES) Allotments. The funds for the allotments 
announced in this TEGL are part of the funds appropriated in the 
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 (the 
Recovery Act), signed into law February 17, 2009.
    Recovery Act funds for Training and Employment Services under WIA 
and the Wagner-Peyser Act are available for allotment as follows:
    <bullet> $1,188,000,000 for youth activities, including summer 
employment for youth;
    <bullet> $495,000,000 for adult services, including supportive 
services and needs-related payments. Priority for receipt of these 
services is to go to recipients of public assistance and other low-
income individuals as described in 134(d)(4)(E) of WIA;
    <bullet> $1,435,500,000 for dislocated worker training and 
employment services and national reserve; and
    <bullet> $396,000,000 for Wagner-Peyser Act activities; 
$247,500,000 of those funds are to support RES for unemployment 
insurance claimants.
    The above figures represent the amount of Recovery Act funds as 
specified in the Act less one percent which is authorized to be 
retained at the Federal level for program administration and oversight.
    States are expected to spend Recovery Act funding quickly and 
effectively. WIA funding for Adults, Dislocated Workers, and Youth are 
considered to be PY 2008 funds and, therefore, must be expended by the 
end of PY 2010 (June 30, 2011). Wagner-Peyser funds are available for 
obligation by the States through September 30, 2010 and must be 
expended by the end of PY 2010 (June 30, 2011). It is the Congress' 
intent, as well as that of the Administration, that the majority of 
these funds will be utilized within the first year of availability.
    The Recovery Act is intended to preserve and create jobs, promote 
the nation's economic recovery, and assist those most impacted by the 
recession. It provides the U.S. Department of Labor and the public 
workforce investment system with unprecedented levels of funding for a 
number of employment and training programs to help Americans acquire 
new skills and get back to work. If the workforce system is to meet 
both the letter and the spirit of the law and fulfill its critical role 
in U.S. economic recovery, we must implement the Act expeditiously and 
effectively, with full accountability of our expenditure of funds. But 
the Recovery Act provides more than an injection of

[[Page 11752]]

workforce development resources into communities in need across the 
country. The significant investment of stimulus funds presents an 
extraordinary and unique opportunity for the workforce system to 
advance transformational efforts and demonstrate its full capacity to 
innovate and implement effective One-Stop service delivery strategies. 
As States and localities plan how their One-Stop systems will make 
immediate use of the Recovery Act funds, ETA encourages them to take an 
expansive view of how the funds can be integrated into efforts to 
improve the effectiveness of the public workforce system. In this 
system, the needs of workers and employers are equally important in 
developing thriving communities where all citizens succeed and 
businesses prosper. Successful implementation of the Recovery Act 
includes not only quick and effective provision of services and 
training for workers in need, but also leveraging changes in the 
system's basic operations to develop a strong, invigorated, innovative 
public workforce system capable of helping enable future economic 
growth and advancing shared prosperity for all Americans.
    In a stronger, more comprehensive workforce investment system, 
adults move easily between the labor market and education and training 
in order to advance in their careers and upgrade their contributions to 
the workplace, while disconnected youth are able to reconnect through 
multiple pathways to education and training opportunities necessary to 
enter and advance in the workforce. Adult education, job training, 
postsecondary education, registered apprenticeship, career advancement 
and supportive service activities are fully aligned with economic and 
community development strategies, so as to meet the skill needs of 
existing and emerging employers and high growth occupations as well as 
the needs of under-skilled adults. Under such a dual-customer approach, 
seamless career pathways would be developed and offered, and support 
services and needs-based payments would be available, making it far 
easier for young people and adults to advance and persist through 
progressive levels of the education and job training system as quickly 
as possible and gain education and workforce skills of demonstrated 
value at each level. Education and training at every level would be 
closely aligned with jobs and industries important to local and 
regional economies. Every level of education and training would afford 
students and trainees the ability to advance in school or at work, with 
assessments and certifications linked to the requirements of the next 
level of education and employment.
    With this infusion of funding, States and local areas should 
consider how their funding decisions and implementation activities for 
Recovery Act funds can help achieve this goal of workforce system 
transformation.
    The WIA allotments for States are based on formula provisions 
defined in the Act (see Attachment I for WIA and Wagner-Peyser formula 
descriptions). The WIA allotments for the outlying areas (e.g., 
American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, Palau, and the Virgin Islands) 
are based on a discretionary formula used for PY 2008 funds as 
authorized under WIA Title I.
    To assist States in the implementation, monitoring, and reporting 
of Recovery Act activities, ETA anticipates providing TEGLs or other 
documents on the following topics:
    <bullet> Policy and Planning;
    <bullet> Participant and Performance Reporting; and
    <bullet> Financial Reporting.
    Pursuant to the intent of the Recovery Act, allotments will be 
issued no later than 30 days from the date the bill was signed into 
law, February 17, 2009. The Recovery Act allotment funds will be issued 
as modifications to the PY 2008 WIA grants, with the funds having the 
same period of performance as PY 2008 funds. We reiterate the 
additional Wagner-Peyser obligation requirement for Recovery Act funds 
which is specified in the Act as September 30, 2010. It should be noted 
that grant agreements will have new provisions specific to the Recovery 
Act funding. The following is the schedule for processing the Recovery 
Act funds:
    <bullet> Week of March 2, 2009--Amended agreement sent to State 
grantees;
    <bullet> Week of March 9, 2009--States return the signed version of 
the agreement; and
    <bullet> Week of March 16, 2009--Notice of Obligation allotting 
funds issued.

Policy and Procedures for Quick and Effective Expenditure of Funds

    The intent of the Recovery Act is that funds be spent quickly and 
effectively in meeting the employment and training needs of the 
Nation's workforce. In order to accomplish this, ETA will be issuing 
Notices of Obligation (NOOs) for WIA and Wagner-Peyser funds no later 
than March 19, 2009, 30 days from the President's signing of the 
Recovery Act.
    In an effort to support States in their rapid deployment of funds 
and recognizing that normal plan submission and approval procedures may 
hamper such efforts, ETA has determined that States' approved PY 2008 
WIA and Wagner-Peyser Act Strategic State Plans qualify the States to 
receive Recovery Act allotments pursuant to WIA section 112. To qualify 
States for PY 2009 allotments, ETA will grant extensions on current WIA 
and Wagner-Peyser Strategic State Plans for PY 2009. This strategy will 
permit States to immediately receive and begin expending Recovery Act 
funds while providing a meaningful period in which to develop plans for 
the most effective use of Recovery Act and formula funds. Requests for 
the extension through June 30, 2009, must be submitted to ETA by April 
15, 2009. ETA will require that States submit a subsequent modification 
to the State Plan to incorporate Recovery Act planning by June 30, 
2009. Details regarding the State Plan modifications will be provided 
in a subsequent Policy and Planning TEGL.
    Likewise, because approved local plans are already in place, States 
are required to make the Recovery Act funds for WIA and Wagner-Peyser 
available to Local Areas not later than 30 days of being made available 
to the State. States are encouraged to devise a Local Plan modification 
process that enables local areas to plan for the quickest and most 
effective use of Recovery Act funds in the local areas while not 
delaying the rapid allocation of funds to local areas within 30 days of 
receipt of funds by the State. Therefore, the Local Plans, required by 
WIA section 118, may be dated and not reflect the economic context 
altered by the economic downturn or strategies altered by the 
additional funds available through the Recovery Act. Under 20 CFR 
661.355, each Governor sets the policy for when a Local Plan must be 
modified, such as significant changes in local economic conditions and 
changes in financing available for WIA title I and partner-provided WIA 
services. States are encouraged to review their Local Plan modification 
policy, and to require that Local Plans be modified according to State 
policy.

State Youth Activities Funds: Title I Subtitle B--Chapter 4--Youth 
Activities

    A. State Allotments. The amount available for WIA Youth Activities 
totals $1,188,000,000, which includes $17,820,000 for Native Americans, 
$1,167,210,000 for States, and $2,970,000 for outlying areas. 
Attachment II contains a breakdown of the State WIA Youth Activities 
program allotments by State. States are expected to spend Recovery Act 
funding quickly and effectively.

[[Page 11753]]

    Even though the supplemental funds are part of the PY 2008 grant 
agreements, the allotment formulas use more recent unemployment data 
than that used for the PY 2008 allotments in order to more effectively 
distribute Recovery Act funds to those areas of greatest need. The 
three data factors required by WIA for the Youth Activities State 
formula allotments are:
    (1) The number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment 
(ASUs), averages for the 12-month period, July 2007 through June 2008, 
as prepared by the States using special 2000 Census data based on 
households, obtained under contract with the Census Bureau and provided 
to States by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS);
    (2) The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess 
(depending on which is higher), averages for the same 12-month period 
as used for ASU unemployment data; and
    (3) The number of economically disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, 
excluding college students and military), from special 2000 census 
tabulations.
    While the total amount available for States is above the $1 billion 
threshold, the Recovery Act exempts the program from the additional 
minimum provisions required by that threshold as specified in WIA 
Section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV). Instead, as required by WIA, the JTPA 
section 262(a)(3) (as amended by section 701 of the Job Training Reform 
Amendments of 1992) minimums of 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior 
year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state minimum floor are 
applicable. WIA also requires the application of a 130 percent stop-
gain of the prior year allotment percentage. For purposes of the hold-
harmless provision, the PY 2008 allotment percentages are used for the 
preceding year.
    B. Within-State Allocations. Youth Activities funds are to be 
distributed among local workforce investment areas (subject to 
reservation of up to 15 percent for statewide workforce investment 
activities) in accordance with the provisions of WIA Section 128 and 
according to the approved State Plan.
    For purposes of identifying ASUs for the within-state Youth 
Activities allocation formula, States should continue to use the 
special 2000 Census data based on households which was obtained under 
contract with the Census Bureau and provided to States in October 2006 
by BLS. These data will continue to be used for this purpose until 
further notice. For purposes of developing the number of economically 
disadvantaged Youth Activities for the statutory formula, the special 
2000 census data provided to States for the within-state Youth 
Activities allocations beginning in PY 2004 should continue to be used.
    States are to use the same reference periods for the data factors 
as described above and PY 2008 as the prior year hold-harmless, to be 
consistent with national office allotment distributions.
    C. Transfers of Funds. There is no authority for local workforce 
investment areas to transfer funds to or from the Youth Activities 
program.

State Adult Employment and Training Activities Funds: Title I Subtitle 
B--Chapter 5--Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training 
Activities

    A. State Allotments. The amount available for Adult Activities is 
$495,000,000 of which $493,762,500 is for States and $1,237,500 is for 
outlying areas. Attachment III shows the Adult Activities allotments. 
States are strongly encouraged to spend Recovery Act funding quickly 
and effectively. WIA funding for the WIA Adult program is considered to 
be PY 2008 funds and, therefore, must be expended by June 30, 2011.
    Even though the supplemental funds are part of the PY 2008 grant 
agreements, the allotment formulas use more recent unemployment data 
than that used for the PY 2008 allotments in order to more effectively 
distribute Recovery Act funds to those areas of greatest need. The 
three data factors required by WIA for the Adult State formula 
allotments are:
    (1) The number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment 
(ASUs), averages for the 12-month period, July 2007 through June 2008, 
as prepared by the States using special 2000 Census data based on 
households, obtained under contract with the Census Bureau and provided 
to States by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS);
    (2) The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess 
(depending on which is higher), averages for the same 12-month period 
as used for ASU unemployment data; and
    (3) The number of economically disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, 
excluding college students and military) from special 2000 census 
tabulations.
    Since the total amount available for the Adult program for States 
is below the required $960 million threshold specified in WIA Section 
132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV), the WIA additional minimum provisions are not 
applicable. Also, like the youth program, the provision applying the 
130 percent stop-gain of the prior year allotment percentage was used. 
For purposes of the hold-harmless provision, the PY 2008 allotment 
percentages are used for the preceding year.
    B. Within-State Allocations. Adult allotments are to be distributed 
among local workforce investment areas (subject to reservation of up to 
15 percent for statewide workforce investment activities) in accordance 
with the provisions in WIA Section 133 and according to the approved 
State Plan.
    For purposes of identifying ASUs for the within-state Adult 
allocation formula, the special 2000 census data provided to States by 
BLS in October 2006 is to be used for census sharing until further 
notice. For purposes of developing the number of economically 
disadvantaged adults for the statutory formula, the special 2000 census 
data provided to States for the within-state Adult Activities 
allocations beginning in PY 2004 should continue to be used.
    States are to use the same reference periods for the data factors 
as described above and PY 2008 as the prior year hold-harmless, to be 
consistent with national office allotment distributions.
    C. Transfers of Funds. WIA Section 133(b)(4) provides the authority 
for local workforce investment areas, with approval of the Governor, to 
transfer up to 20 percent of the Adult Activities funds to Dislocated 
Worker Activities, and up to 20 percent of Dislocated Worker Activities 
funds to Adult Activities. It should be noted that this is different 
than the 30 percent currently permitted for regular formula funds 
pursuant to prior year appropriation acts. Additionally, ETA does not 
anticipate granting waivers that would allow transfers above the 20 
percent. As will be described in the forthcoming planning guidance, the 
waiver to transfer more than 20 percent of local area funds between 
Dislocated Worker and Adult programs will not apply to Recovery Act 
funds.

State Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Funds: Title I Subtitle 
B --Chapter 5--Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training 
Activities

    The amount available for the Dislocated Worker Activities program 
is $1,435,500,000, with $1,237,500,000 for States, $3,588,750 for 
outlying areas, and $194,411,250 for the National Reserve. States are 
expected to spend Recovery Act funding quickly and effectively. 
Recovery Act funding is considered to be PY 2008 funds and,

[[Page 11754]]

therefore, must be expended by June 30, 2011.
    A. State Allotments. Attachment IV shows Recovery Act Dislocated 
Worker Activities fund allotments by State.
    The three data factors required in WIA for the dislocated worker 
State formula allotments are:
    (1) The number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, 
January 2008 through December 2008;
    (2) The number of excess unemployed, averages for the 12-month 
period, January 2008 through December 2008; and
    (3) The number of long-term unemployed, averages for calendar year 
2008.
    B. Within-State Allocations. Dislocated Worker Activities funds for 
the Recovery Act are to be distributed among local workforce investment 
areas (subject to reservation of up to 25 percent for statewide rapid 
response activities and up to 15 percent for statewide workforce 
investment activities) in accordance with the provisions in WIA Section 
133 and according to the approved State Plan.
    C. Transfers of Funds. WIA Section 133(b)(4) provides the authority 
for local workforce investment areas, with approval of the Governor, to 
transfer up to 20 percent of the Adult Activities funds to Dislocated 
Worker Activities, and up to 20 percent of Dislocated Worker Activities 
funds to Adult Activities. It should be noted that this is different 
than the 30 percent currently permitted for regular formula funds 
pursuant to prior year appropriation acts. Additionally, ETA does not 
anticipate granting waivers that would allow transfers above the 20 
percent. As will be described in the forthcoming planning guidance, the 
waiver to transfer more than 20 percent of local area funds between 
Dislocated Worker and Adult programs will not apply to Recovery Act 
funds.

Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments

    The amount available for employment service grants totals 
$396,000,000. Within this amount $247,500,000 is designated for 
reemployment services (RES) to connect unemployment insurance claimants 
to employment and training opportunities that will facilitate their 
reentry to employment. Such funds shall remain available to the States 
for obligation through September 30, 2010, and must be expended by the 
end of PY 2010.
    After determining the funding for outlying areas, allotments to 
States are calculated using the formula set forth at section 6 of the 
Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49e). Formula allotments are based on each 
State's share of calendar year 2008 monthly averages of the civilian 
labor force and unemployment. The distribution of Wagner-Peyser funds 
includes $395,034,690 for States, as well as $965,310 for outlying 
areas. Attachment V shows the distribution of Recovery Act amounts 
under the ES formula.
    Under section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act, ten percent of the 
total sums allotted to each State shall be reserved for use by the 
Governor to provide performance incentives, services for groups with 
special needs, and for the extra costs of exemplary models for 
delivering job services through the one-stop system.

Reporting

Financial Reporting for the Recovery Act Funds

    For the WIA formula programs, States are required to track 
financial information separately for each of the funding streams. 
States will submit the standard ETA-9130 reports for statewide youth, 
statewide adult, statewide dislocated worker, statewide rapid response 
(Dislocated Worker Activities), local youth, local adult, and local 
dislocated worker activities. The ETA-9130 reports for Recovery Act 
funds will be due 10 days after the end of the quarter rather than the 
current 45 day requirement. States are also to submit the ETA-9130 
report each quarter for the Wagner-Peyser Act funds. Final guidance on 
financial reporting will be issued under a separate document.

Participant and Performance Reporting for the Recovery Act Funds

    Accountability guidelines for the Recovery Act emphasize data 
quality, streamlining data collection, and collection of information 
that shows measurable program outputs. ETA is developing reporting 
guidelines that will minimize any new collection burdens. Final 
guidance on participant and performance reporting will be issued under 
a separate TEGL.
    To the extent that new information or reports are required for 
Recovery Act activities, ETA will seek OMB clearance through the 
Paperwork Reduction Act process.
