DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice on Reallotment of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title I
Formula Allotted Funds for Dislocated Worker Activities for Program
Year (PY) 2011
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Public Law 105-220, the Workforce Investment Act of 1998,
requires the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to conduct reallotment of
dislocated worker formula allotted funds based on State financial
reports submitted as of the end of the prior program year. This notice
publishes the dislocated worker PY 2011 funds for recapture by State
and the amount to be reallotted to eligible States.
DATES: This notice is effective April 27, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Amanda Ahlstrand, Acting
Administrator, Office of Workforce Investment, Employment and Training
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Room C-4526, Washington, DC 20210. Telephone (202) 693-3980 (this is
not a toll-free number) or fax (202) 693-3981.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: WIA Section 132(c) requires the Secretary to
conduct reallotment of dislocated worker funds based on financial
reports submitted by States as of the end of the prior program year.
The procedures the Secretary uses for recapture and reallotment of
funds are described in the WIA regulation at 20 CFR 667.150. Training
and Employment Guidance Letter No. 26-10 advised States that
reallotment of funds under WIA will occur during PY 2011 based on State
obligations made in PY 2010. We will not recapture any PY 2011 funds
for Adult and Youth programs because in no case do PY 2010 unobligated
funds exceed the statutory requirement of 20 percent of State allotted
funds. There was recapture and reallotment of WIA Dislocated Worker
funds in PY 2010.
Excess unobligated State funds in the amount of $251,529 will be
captured from PY 2011 formula allotted funds for the dislocated worker
program for one State and distributed by formula to PY 2011 dislocated
worker funds for eligible States. The description of the methodology
used for the calculation of the recapture/reallotment amounts and the
distribution of the changes to PY 2011 formula allotments for
dislocated worker activities are included in this notice (see Section
III below).
WIA Section 132 (c) requires the governor to prescribe equitable
procedures for making funds available from the State and local areas in
the event that the State is required to make funds available for
reallotment.

III. Attachment C--Dislocated Worker State Formula PY 2011 Reallotment
Methodology
Reallotment Summary: This year ETA analyzed State WIA Dislocated
Worker 9130 financial reports from the June 30, 2011 reporting period
for PY 2010 to determine if any State had unobligated funds in excess
of 20 percent of their PY 2010 allotment amount. If so, that amount
will be recaptured from PY 2011 funds and realloted among eligible
states.
Source Data: State WIA 9130 financial status reports.
Programs:
State Dislocated Worker.
State Rapid Response.
Local Dislocated Worker (includes local administration).
Period: June 30, 2011.
Years covered: PY 2010 and Fiscal Year (FY) 2011.
Reallotment Calculations:
(1) Each State's total amount of State obligations of PY 2010
(including FY 2011) funds for the Dislocated Worker program is
calculated. State obligations are considered to be the total of the
Dislocated Worker statewide activities obligations, Rapid Response
obligations, and 100 percent of local Dislocated Worker program
authorized (which includes local admin authorized). The Dislocated
Worker total unobligated balance is calculated to be the Dislocated
Worker 2010 allotment amount (adjusted for recapture/reallotment and
statutory formula-based rescissions) less the calculated total
Dislocated Worker obligations. (For re-allotment purposes, Dislocated
Worker allotted funds transferred to the Navajo Nation are added back
to Arizona, New
[[Page 25205]]
Mexico, and Utah Local Dislocated Worker authorized amounts).
(2) Section 667.150 of the regulations provides that the recapture
calculations exclude the reserve for State administration. Data on
State administrative authorized and obligated amounts are not normally
available on WIA 9130 financial reports. Therefore, additional data on
State administrative amounts included in the PY 2010 and FY 2011
statewide activities amounts authorized and obligated as of June 30,
2011 are requested from those States calculated to be potentially
liable for recapture.
(3) In the preliminary calculation to determine States potentially
liable for recapture, the Dislocated Worker portion of the state
administrative amounts authorized and obligated (100 percent of
authorized is treated as obligated) is estimated by calculating the
five percent maximum amount for State Dislocated Worker administrative
costs using the Dislocated Worker state allotment amounts (adjusted for
recapture/reallotment and statutory formula-based rescissions). If a
State provides actual State Dislocated Worker administrative costs
authorized and obligated in the comments section of revised 9130
reports, this data replaces the estimates. Based on the requested
additional actual data submitted by potentially liable States on
revised reports, the Dislocated Worker total allotment for these States
is reduced by the Dislocated Worker portion of the State administrative
amount authorized and the Dislocated Worker total obligations for these
States are reduced by the Dislocated Worker portion of the State
administrative amounts obligated. These calculations are done
separately for PY 2010 and FY 2011, with final calculations being added
together for the total year amounts.
(4) States (including those adjusted by State administrative data)
with unobligated balances for combined PY 2010/FY 2011 exceeding 20
percent of the combined PY 2010/FY 2011 Dislocated Worker allotment
(adjusted for recapture/reallotment and statutory formula-based
rescissions) will have their PY 2011 Dislocated Worker funding (FY 2012
portion) reduced (recaptured) by the amount of the excess.
(5) As calculated above, states with unobligated balances not
exceeding 20 percent will receive in their PY 2011 Dislocated Worker
funding (FY 2012 portion) a share of the total recaptured amount based
on their share of the total PY 2010/FY 2011 Dislocated Worker
allotments amount (adjusted for recapture/reallotment, financial
sanctions, and statutory formula based rescissions) for all such
States.
Signed at Washington, DC this 19th day of April, 2012.
