SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Eleven 

(11) states (see Appendix) qualify to 

receive a share of the $9.7 million 

available for incentive grant awards 

under WIA section 503. These funds, 

which were contributed by the 

Department of Education from 

appropriations for the Adult Education 

and Family Literacy Act, are available 

for the eligible states to use through 

June 30, 2011, to support innovative 

workforce development and education 

activities that are authorized under title 

IB (Workforce Investment Systems) or 

title II (the Adult Education and Family 

Literacy Act (AEFLA)) of WIA, or under 

the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical 

Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), 20 

U.S.C. 2301 et seq., as amended by 

Public Law 109–270. In order to qualify 

for a grant award, a state must have 

exceeded its performance levels for WIA 

title IB and adult education (AEFLA). 

(Due to the lack of availability of PY 

2007 performance data under the Carl D. 

Perkins Vocational and Technical 

Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III), the 

Department of Labor and the 

Department of Education did not 

consider states’ performance levels 

under Perkins in determining incentive 

grants eligibility.) The goals included 

employment after training and related 

services, retention in employment, and 

improvements in literacy levels, among 

other measures. After review of the 

performance data submitted by states to 

the Department of Labor and to the 

Department of Education, each 

Department determined for its 

program(s) which states exceeded their 

performance levels (the Appendix at the 

bottom of this notice lists the 

performance of each state by program). 

These lists were compared, and states 

that exceeded their performance levels 

for both programs are eligible to apply 

for and receive an incentive grant 

award. The amount that each state is 

eligible to receive was determined by 

the Department of Labor and the 

Department of Education, based on the 

provisions in WIA section 503(c) (20 

U.S.C. 9273(c)), and is proportional to 

the total funding received by these 

states for WIA title IB and AEFLA 

programs. 

The states eligible to apply for 

incentive grant awards and the amounts 

they are eligible to receive are listed in 

the following chart: 

State Amount of 

award 

1. Florida ................................... $933,944 

2. Illinois .................................... 1,000,916 

3. Indiana .................................. 869,269
