DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration Program Year (PY) 2012
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Allotments; PY 2012 Wagner-Peyser Act
Final Allotments and PY 2012 Workforce Information Grants
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces allotments for PY 2012 for WIA Title I
Youth, Adults and Dislocated Worker Activities programs; final
allotments for Employment Service (ES) activities under the Wagner-
Peyser Act for PY 2012 and Workforce Information Grants allotments for
PY 2012. Allotments for the Work Opportunity Tax Credits will be
announced separately.
WIA allotments for States and the State 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 of Labor (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 2012 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 April 16, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (Department) is
announcing WIA allotments for PY 2012 for Youth Activities, Adults and
Dislocated Worker Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2012 final
allotments and FY 2012 Workforce Information Grant allotments. This
notice provides information on the amount of funds available during PY
2012 to States with an approved WIA Title I and Wagner-Peyser Act
Strategic Plan for PY 2012, and information regarding allotments to the
outlying areas.
The allotments are based on the funds appropriated in the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, Public Law 112-74, Division F,
signed December 23, 2011. The Act requires an across-the-board
rescission of 0.189 percent to all Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2012
discretionary program funding. Included below are tables listing the PY
2012 allotments for programs under WIA Title I Youth Activities (Table
A), Adult and Dislocated Workers Employment and Training Activities
(Tables B and C, respectively), and the PY 2012 Wagner-Peyser Act final
allotments (Table D). Also attached is the PY 2012 Workforce
Information Grant table (Table E).
Youth Activities Allotments
PY 2012 Youth Activities funds under WIA total $824,353,022
(including the 0.189 percent rescission). Table A includes a breakdown
of the Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2012 and provides a
comparison of these allotments to PY 2011 Youth Activities allotments
for all States, and outlying areas. Before determining the amount
available for States, the total funding available for the outlying
areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for
Youth Activities (after the 0.189 percent rescission). On December 17,
2003, Public Law 108-188, the Compact of Free Association Amendments
Act of 2003 (``the Compact''), was signed. The Compact provided for
consolidation of WIA Title I funding, for the Marshall Islands and
Micronesia into supplemental grants provided from the Department of
Education's appropriation. See 48 USC 1921d(f)(1)(B)(iii). The Compact
also specified that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIA
Title I funding. See 48 USC 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2012 (in the Department of Education's General
Provisions at Section 306 of Title III, Division F, Pub. L. 112-74)
amended the Compact to extend the availability of WIA Title I funding
to Palau through FY 2012.
The methodology for distributing funds to all outlying areas is not
specified by WIA, but is at the Secretary's discretion. The methodology
used is the same as used since PY 2000, i.e., funds are distributed
among the remaining areas by formula based on relative share of number
of unemployed, a 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year share, a
$75,000 minimum, and a 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year share.
As in PY 2011, data for the relative share calculation in the PY 2012
formula were from 2000 Census data for all outlying areas, obtained
from the Bureau of the Census Bureau (Bureau) and are based on 2000
Census surveys for those areas conducted either by the Bureau or the
outlying areas under the guidance of the Bureau.
The total amount available for Native Americans is 1.5 percent of
the total amount for Youth Activities, in accordance with WIA section
127. After determining the amount for the outlying areas and Native
Americans, the amount available for allotment to the States for PY 2012
is $809,926,845. This total amount was below the required $1 billion
threshold specified in section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV); therefore, as in
PY 2011, the WIA additional minimum provisions were not applied, and,
instead, as required by WIA, the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA)
section 202(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 were
used. Also, as required by WIA, the provision applying a 130 percent
stop-gain of the prior year allotment percentage was used. The three
formula factors required in WIA use the following data for the PY 2012
allotments:
(1) Number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment
(ASUs) averages for the 12-month period, July 2010 through June 2011;
(2) Number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess
(depending on which is higher) averages for the same 12-month period
used for ASU unemployed data; and
(3) Number of economically disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21,
excluding college students and military) from special 2000 Census
calculations.
Beginning with the PY 2006 allotments, States identify the ASU data
for the PY 2012 allotments using special 2000 Census data based on
households, obtained under Employment and Training Administration
contract with the Census Bureau and provided to States by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
It should be noted that the most current Census, conducted in 2010,
did not include the long form survey which ETA would have used to
update the data from the 2000 Census. Instead, ETA will continue to
work with the Census Bureau over the next years to use data from the
American Community Survey (ACS). ETA will alert States when new data
are available for use in within-State allocation formulas; however,
updated data will not be available for use with PY 2012 funding.
Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments
The total Adult Employment and Training Activities appropriation is
$770,810,637 (including the 0.189 percent rescission). Table B shows
the PY 2012 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and
comparison to PY 2011 allotments by State. Like the Youth Activities
program, the total available for the outlying areas was reserved at
0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for Adult Activities. As
discussed in the Youth Activities section above, WIA funding for the
Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided; instead, funding
is provided in the Department of Education's
[[Page 15806]]
appropriation. The Adult Activities funds for grants to the remaining
outlying areas, for which the distribution methodology is at the
Secretary's discretion, were distributed among the areas by the same
principles, formula and data as used for outlying areas for Youth
Activities. After determining the amount for the outlying areas, the
amount available for allotments to the States is $768,883,610. Like the
Youth Activities program, the WIA minimum provisions were not applied
for the PY 2012 allotments because the total amount available for the
States was below the $960 million threshold required for Adult
Activities in section 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV). Instead, as required by
WIA, the minimum allotments were calculated using the JTPA section
202(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. Also,
like the Youth Activities program, a provision applying a 130 percent
stop-gain of the prior year allotment percentage was used. The three
formula factors use the same data as used for the PY 2012 Youth
Activities formula, except that data from the 2000 Census for the
number of economically disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, excluding
college students and military) were used.
As noted above, ETA will alert States when new census data are
available for use in within-State allocation formulas; however, updated
data will not be available for use with PY 2012 funding.
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments
The total Dislocated Worker appropriation is $1,232,217,892
(including the 0.189 rescission). The total appropriation includes
formula funds for the States, while the National Reserve is used for
National Emergency Grants, technical assistance and training,
demonstration projects, and the outlying areas' Dislocated Worker
allotments. Table C shows the PY 2012 Dislocated Worker Activities fund
allotments by State. Like the Youth and Adult Activities programs, the
total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of
the full amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker Activities. WIA
funding for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no longer provided,
as discussed above. The Dislocated Worker Activities funds for grants
to the remaining outlying areas, for which the distribution methodology
is at the Secretary's discretion, were distributed by the same pro rata
share as the areas received for the PY 2012 WIA Adult Activities
program, the same methodology used in PY 2011. For the State
distribution of formula funds, the three formula factors required in
WIA use the following data for the PY 2012 allotments:
(1) Number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, October
2010 through September 2011;
(2) Number of excess unemployed, averages for the 12-month period,
October 2010 through September 2011; and
(3) Number of long-term unemployed, averages for the 12-month
period, October 2010 through September 2011.
Since the Dislocated Worker Activities formula has no floor amount
or hold-harmless provisions, funding changes for States directly
reflect the impact of changes in the number of unemployed.
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final Allotments
The appropriated level for PY 2012 for ES grants totals
$700,841,900 (including the 0.189 rescission). After determining the
funding for outlying areas, allotments to States were calculated using
the formula set forth at section 6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C.
49e). PY 2012 formula allotments were based on each state's share of
calendar year 2011 monthly averages of the civilian labor force (CLF)
and unemployment. The Secretary is required to set aside up to three
percent of the total available funds to assure that each State will
have sufficient resources to maintain statewide ES activities, as
required under section 6(b)(4) of the Wagner-Peyser Act. In accordance
with this provision, the three percent set-aside funds are included in
the total allotment. The set-aside funds were distributed in two steps
to States that have lost in relative share of resources from the
previous year. In Step 1, States that have a CLF below one million and
are also below the median CLF density were maintained at 100 percent of
their relative share of prior year resources. All remaining set-aside
funds were distributed on a pro-rata basis in Step 2 to all other
States losing in relative share from the prior year but not meeting the
size and density criteria for Step 1. The distribution of ES funds
(Table D) includes $699,133,491 for States, as well as $1,708,409 for
outlying areas.
Under section 7 of the Wagner-Peyser Act, 10 percent of the total
sums allotted to each State shall be reserved for use by the Governor
to provide performance incentives for ES offices, services for groups
with special needs, and for the extra costs of exemplary models for
delivering job services.
Workforce Information Grants Allotments
Total PY 2012 funding for Workforce Information Grants allotments
to States is $31,939,520 (after the 0.189 percent rescission). The
allotment figures for each State are listed in Table E. Funds are
distributed by administrative formula, with a reserve of $176,655 for
Guam and the Virgin Islands. The remaining funds are distributed to the
States with 40 percent distributed equally to all States and 60 percent
distributed based on each State's share of CLF for the 12 months ending
September 2011.
