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);

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; WagnerPeyser 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

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: 

• $1,188,000,000 for youth activities, 

including summer employment for 

youth; 

• $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; 

• $1,435,500,000 for dislocated 

worker training and employment 

services and national reserve; and 

• $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 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
11752 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 52 / Thursday, March 19, 2009 / Notices 

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: 

• Policy and Planning; 

• Participant and Performance 

Reporting; and 

• 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: 

• Week of March 2, 2009—Amended 

agreement sent to State grantees; 

• Week of March 9, 2009—States 

return the signed version of the 

agreement; and 

• 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. 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 52 / Thursday, March 19, 2009 / Notices 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 stopgain 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, 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
11754 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 52 / Thursday, March 19, 2009 / Notices 

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 WagnerPeyser 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 onestop 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.
