SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department of Labor (DOL or

Department) is announcing Job Training

Partnership Act (JTPA) allotments for

Program Year (PY) 1995 (July 1, 1995-

June 30, 1996) for JTPA Titles II–A, II–

C, and III, and for the Summer Youth

Employment and Training Program in

Calendar Year (CY) 1995 for JTPA Title

II–B; and, in accord with Section 6 of

the Wagner-Peyser Act, preliminary

planning estimates for public

employment service (ES) activities

under the Wagner-Peyser Act for PY

1995. The allotments and estimates are

based on the appropriations for DOL for

Fiscal Year (FY) 1995.

Attached are lists of the allotments for

PY 1995 for programs under JTPA Titles

II–A, II–C, and III; a list of the

allotments for the CY 1995 Summer

Youth Employment and Training

Program under Title II–B of JTPA; and

a list of preliminary planning estimates

for public employment service activities

under the Wagner-Peyser Act. The PY

1995 allotments for Titles II–A, II–C,

and III and the ES preliminary planning

estimates, are based on the funds

appropriated by the Department of

Labor Appropriations Act, 1995, Public

Law 103–333, for FY 1995.

The base allotments for Title II–B total

$867,070,000. Included in these

allotments are additional 1995 summer

funds in the amount of $184,788,000

provided by Congress in the FY 1995

appropriation act. These fund were

made available for obligation on July 1,

1995. The FY 1994 and FY 1995 funds

available for the CY 1995 Summer

Program will be issued separately

through a Notice of Obligation (NOO).

These JTPA allotments will not be

updated for subsequent unemployment

data. The Employment Service

preliminary estimates will be updated

as final allotments to reflect CY 1994

data and published in the Federal

Register at a later date.

Title II–A Allotments

Attachment I shows the PY 1995 JTPA

Title II–A Adult Training Program

allotments by State. For all States,

Puerto Rico and the District of

Columbia, the following data were used

in computing the allotments:

—Data for areas of substantial

unemployment (ASU) are averages for

the 12-month period, July 1993

through June 1994.

—The number of excess unemployed

individuals or the ASU excess

(depending on which is higher) are

averages for this same 12-month

period.

—The economically disadvantaged

adult data (age 22 to 72, excluding

college students and military) are

from the 1990 Census.

The allotments for the Insular Areas,

including the Freely Associated States,

are based on unemployment data from

1990 Census or, if not available, the

most recent data available. A 90 percent

relative share ‘‘hold-harmless’’ of the PY

1994 Title II–A allotments for these

areas and a minimum allotment of

$75,000 were also applied in

determining the allotments.

Title II–A funds are to be distributed

among designated service delivery areas

(SDAs) according to the statutory

formula contained in Section 202(b) of

JTPA, as amended by Title VII,

Miscellaneous Provisions, of the Job

Training Reform Amendments of 1992.

(This Title VII provides an interim

allocation methodology which applies

to the PY 1995 allotments.) This is the

same formula that has been used in

previous program years; however, prior

to PY 1993 a different definition of

‘‘economically disadvantaged’’ was

used.

In determining any necessary holdharmless levels for SDAs, the States of

Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, and

Wisconsin shall not include any

additional funds provided for Rural

Concentrated Employment Programs

(RCEPs).
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 14, 1995 / Notices 8419

JTPA Title II–B Allotments

Attachment II shows the CY 1995

JTPA Title II–B Summer Youth

Employment and Training Program

allotments by State based on total

available appropriations for CY 1995 of

$867,070,000. The data used for these

allotments are the same unemployment

data as were used for Title II–A except

that the data for the number for

economically disadvantaged youth (age

16 to 21, excluding college students and

military) from the 1990 Census was

used.

For the Insular Areas and Native

Americans, the allotments are based on

the percentage of Title II–B funds each

received during the previous summer.

Title II–B funds for the 1995 Summer

Program are to be distributed among

designated SDAs in accordance with the

statutory formula contained in Section

252(b) of JTPA, as amended by Title VII,

Miscellaneous Provisions, of the Job

Training Reform Amendments of 1992.

This Title VII provides an interim

allocation methodology which applies

to the PY 1995 allotments. The Title II–

B formula is the same as for Title II–C.

This is the same formula which was

used in the previous program year.

In determining any necessary holdharmless levels for SDAs, the State of

Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, and

Wisconsin shall not include any

additional funds provided for RCEPs.

JTPA Title II–C Allotments

Attachment III shows the PY 1995

JTPA Title II–C Youth Training Program

allotments by State for a total

appropriation of $598,682,000. The

amount is composed entirely of PY 1995

formula funds. For all States, the Insular

Areas, Puerto Rico, and the District of

Columbia, the data used in computing

the allotments are the same data as were

used for Title II–B allotments.

The allotments for the Insular Areas

are based on unemployment data from

the 1990 census or, if not available, the

most recent data available. A 90 percent

relative share ‘‘hold-harmless’’ of the PY

1994 Title II–C allotments for those

areas and a minimum allotment of

$50,000 were also applied in

determining the allotments.

JTPA Title III Allotments

Attachment IV shows the PY 1995

JTPA Title III Dislocated Worker

Program allotments by State, for a total

of $1,296,000,000. The total includes 80

percent allotted by formula to the States

($1,036,800,000), and 20 percent

($259,200,000) for the National Reserve,

including funds allotted to the Insular

Areas.

Title III formulas funds are to be

distributed to State and substate

grantees in accordance with the

provisions in Section 302 (c) and (d) of

JTPA, as amended.

Except for the Insular Areas, the

unemployment data used for computing

these allotments, relative numbers of

unemployed and relative numbers of

excess unemployed, are averages for the

October 1993 through September 1994

period. Long-term unemployed data

used were for CY 1993.

Allotments for the Insular Areas are

based on the PY 1995 Title II–A

allotments for these areas.

A reallotment of these published Title

III formula amounts, as provided for by

Section 303 of JTPA, as amended, will

be based on completed program year

expenditure reports submitted by the

States and received by October 1, 1995.

The Title III allotment for each State

will be adjusted upward or downward,

based on whether the State is eligible to

share in reallotted funds or is subject to

recapture of funds.

Wagner-Peyser Act Employment

Service Preliminary Planning Estimates

Attachment V shows planning

estimates which have been produced

using the formula set forth at Section 6

of the Wagner-Peyser Act, 29 U.S.C. 49e.

These preliminary estimates are based

on averages for the most current 12

months ending September 1994 for each

State’s share of the civilian labor force

(CLF) and unemployment. Final

planning estimates will be issued based

on CY 1994 data, as required by the

Wagner-Peyser Act.

The total planning estimate includes

$22,019,700, or 2.603 percent of the

total amount available, which is being

withheld from distribution to States to

finance postage costs associated with

the conduct of Employment Service

business of 1995.

The Secretary of Labor has set aside

3 percent of the total available funds to

assure that each State will have

sufficient resources to maintain

statewide employment services, as

required under Section 6(b)(4) of the

Wagner-Peyser Act. In accordance with

this provision, $24,716,769 is set aside

for administrative formula allocation.

These setaside funds are included in the

total planning estimate. Setaside funds

are distributed in two steps to States

which have lost in their relative share

of resources from the prior year. In step

one, States which have a CLF below one

million and are below the median CLF

density are maintained at 100 percent of

their relative share of prior year

resources. All remaining set-aside funds

are distributed on a pro rata basis in

step two to all other States losing in

relative share from the prior year, but

which do not meet the size and density

criteria for step one.

Ten percent of the total sums allotted

to each State shall be reserved for use

by the Governor to provide performance

incentives for public employment

service offices, services for groups with

special needs, and for the extra costs of

exemplary models for delivering job

services.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 7th day of

February, 1995.

Doug Ross,

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment

and Training.

In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC

2273), the Department of Labor issued a

Certification for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance on November 14,

1994, applicable to all workers of the

subject firm in El Paso, Texas.

At the request of the company, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

investigation findings show that the

production at Justin Boot Company in

Sarcoxie, Missouri and Carthage,

Missouri is integrated with the

production at Justin Boot Company’s

plants in Fort Worth, Texas and

Cassville, Missouri whose workers are

certified by an amendment dated

December 21, 1994 to the subject

certification. The amendment was

published in the Federal Register on

January 4, 1995 (60 FR 482).

New findings show that sales,

production and employment declined

sharply at the Justin Boot Company’s

plants in Sarcoxie, Missouri and

Carthage, Missouri in 1993 and 1994.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers

who were adversely affected by

increased imports.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to properly

reflect this matter.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA—00252 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of the Tony Lama Division of

Footwear Management Company, located in

El Paso, Texas and all workers of the Justin

Boot Company of Footwear Management

Company in Fort Worth, Texas; Cassville,

Missouri; Sarcoxie, Missouri and Carthage,

Missouri and the Nacona Boot Company in

Nacona, Texas who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after December 8, 1993 are eligible to apply

for NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of the

Trade Act of 1974.

workers of Regency Vegetable House

were separated in June 1994 when

production ceased and that the firm

packaged and sold vegetables to

substantially the same customers as

Regency Packing Company (NAFTA–
