DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Program Year (PY) 2013 Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Allotments; 
PY 2013 Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments and PY 2013 Workforce 
Information Grants

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces allotments for PY 2013 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 2013 and Workforce Information Grants allotments for 
PY 2013. 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) which included both the 
rationale for the formula and methodology. The formula for PY 2013 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 June 14, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (Department) is 
announcing WIA allotments for PY 2013 for Youth Activities, Adults and 
Dislocated Worker Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2013 final 
allotments, and PY 2013 Workforce Information Grant allotments. This 
notice provides information on the amount of funds available during PY 
2013 to States with an approved WIA Title I and Wagner-Peyser Act 
Strategic Plan for PY 2013, and information regarding allotments to the 
outlying areas.
    The allotments are based on the funds appropriated in the 
Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013, Public 
Law (Pub. L.) 113-6, Divisions F and G, signed into law on March 26, 
2013. The Act requires an across-the-board rescission of 0.2 percent to 
all Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 discretionary program funding and is 
subject to the sequestration order required by section 251A of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Included 
below are tables listing the PY 2013 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 2013 Wagner-Peyser Act final allotments (Table D). Also attached 
is the PY 2013 Workforce Information Grant table (Table E).
    Youth Activities Allotments. PY 2013 Youth Activities funds under 
WIA total $781,375,289, after accounting for the 0.2 percent rescission 
and sequestration reductions, hereafter referred to as ``the 
reductions.'' Table A includes a breakdown of the Youth Activities 
program allotments for PY 2013 and provides a comparison of these 
allotments to PY 2012 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 
reductions). On December 17, 2003, Public Law 108-188, the Compact of 
Free Association Amendments Act of 2003 (``the Compact''), was signed 
into law. 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 U.S.C. 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. Section 
1105 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 
2013, further extended the same funding to Palau through FY 2013.
    Under WIA, the Secretary has discretion for determining the 
methodology for distributing funds to all outlying areas. The 
Department used the same methodology 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. For PY 2013, the Department updated the data for the 
relative share calculation with data obtained from the 2010 Census for 
American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands, and 
Virgin Islands. The Department updated data for Palau from Palau's 2005 
Census.
    For the Native American Youth program, the total amount available 
is 1.5 percent of the total amount for Youth Activities, in accordance 
with WIA section 127. After the Department calculated the amount for 
the outlying areas and Native Americans, we determined that the amount 
available for PY 2013 allotments to the States is $767,701,222. This 
total amount was below the required $1 billion threshold specified in 
WIA section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV); therefore, as in PY 2012, the WIA 
additional minimum provisions were not applied, and, instead, as 
required by WIA, the Department used 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. 
Also, the Department used the provision applying a 130 percent stop-
gain of the prior year allotment percentage, as required by WIA. The 
three data factors required by WIA for the PY 2013 Youth Activities 
State formula allotments are:
    (1) Number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment 
(ASUs) averages for the 12-month period, July 2011-June 2012;
    (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 in the workforce and military) from special 
tabulations of data from the American Community Survey (ACS), which the 
Department obtained from the Bureau in 2012. The Bureau collected the 
data used in the special tabulations for economically disadvantaged 
Youth between January 1, 2006-December 31, 2010.
    Beginning with the PY 2006 allotments, States identify the ASU data 
for the PY 2013 allotments using special 2000 Census data based on 
households, obtained under ETA contract with the Census Bureau and 
which the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provided to States. States 
must continue to use the data provided in 2006 for the ASU 
identification process until further notice. For purposes of 
determining the number of economically disadvantaged Youth for the 
statutory within-state allocation formula, States should use the 
special tabulations of ACS data available at http://www.doleta.gov/budget/disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm. See TEGL No. 21-12 for further 
information.
    Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. After 
accounting for the 0.2 rescission and sequestration reductions, 
$730,624,342 is available for obligation to the States and outlying 
areas for PY 2013. The 0.2 rescission and sequestration reductions 
applied to both the FY 2013 ``advance'' funding (funds made available 
for PY 2012 on October 1, 2012) and the ``regular'' PY 2013 funding 
(available July 1, 2013). To avoid rescinding funding already allocated 
to States and localities, the Department fully applied the rescission 
and sequestration reductions from both the advance and regular 
appropriations to the July 1, 2013 portion of the PY 2013 allotments.
    Table B shows the initial PY 2013 Adult Employment and Training 
Activities allotments, the reductions related to the FY 2013 Advance, 
the final PY 2013 allotment amounts, and a comparison of the final PY 
2013 allotments to PY 2012 allotments by State. Like the Youth 
Activities program, the Department reserved the total available for the 
outlying areas at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for 
Adult Activities after accounting for the reductions applicable to the 
funding available July 1, 2013 only. As discussed in the Youth 
Activities section above, WIA funding for the Marshall Islands and 
Micronesia is no longer provided; instead, funding is provided for 
these territories in the Department of Education's appropriation.

[[Page 28645]]

    The Department distributed the Adult Activities funding for the 
remaining outlying areas (for which the distribution methodology is at 
the Secretary's discretion), using the same principles, formula and 
data as used for outlying areas for Youth Activities. After determining 
the amount for the outlying areas, the Department used statutory 
formula to distribute the remaining amount available for allotments to 
the States. The Department did not apply the WIA minimum provisions for 
the PY 2013 allotments because the total amount available for the 
States was below the $960 million threshold required for Adult 
Activities in WIA section 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV). Instead, as required by 
WIA, the Department calculated minimum allotments 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. The 
Department also applied a 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year 
allotment percentage. The three formula data factors for the Adult 
Activities program are the same as those used for the Youth Activities 
formula, except the Department used data for the number of economically 
disadvantaged Adults (age 22 to 72, excluding college students in the 
workforce and military).
    As noted above, updated data for within-State allocation formulas 
is available for economically disadvantaged Adults; but, for ASU 
calculations, States should continue to use the data BLS provided to 
States in October 2006.
    Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments. A 
total of $1,179,657,807 is available for Dislocated Worker activities 
in PY 2013. 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. The 0.2 rescission 
and sequestration reductions applied to both the FY 2013 ``advance'' 
funding (funds made available for PY 2012 on October 1, 2012) and the 
``regular'' PY 2013 funding (available July 1, 2013). For the National 
Reserve funding, the Department has fully applied the rescission and 
sequestration reductions for the FY 2013 ``advance'' funding. For the 
Dislocated Worker State formula funds, to avoid rescinding funding 
already allocated to States and localities, the Department has fully 
applied the rescission and sequestration reductions for the advance and 
regular appropriations to the July 1, 2013 portion of the PY 2013 
allotments. The amount available for outlying areas is $3,061,235, 
leaving $221,005,193 for the National Reserve. This leaves a total of 
$955,591,379 available for States. Like the Adult program, Table C 
shows the initial PY 2013 Dislocated Worker Activities fund allotments, 
the reductions related to the FY 2013 Advance, the final PY 2013 
allotment amounts, and a comparison of the final PY 2013 allotments to 
PY 2012 allotments by State.
    Like the Youth and Adult Activities programs, the Department 
reserved the total available for the outlying areas at 0.25 percent of 
the full amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker Activities after 
accounting for the reductions applicable to the funding available July 
1, 2013 only. WIA funding for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia is no 
longer provided, as discussed above. The Department distributed the 
Dislocated Worker Activities funds for grants to the remaining outlying 
areas, over which the Secretary maintains discretion for choosing the 
distribution methodology, using the same pro rata share as the areas 
received for the PY 2013 WIA Adult Activities program, the same 
methodology used in PY 2012.
    The three data factors required in WIA for the PY 2013 Dislocated 
Worker State formula allotments are:
    (1) Number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, October 
2011-September 2012;
    (2) Number of excess unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, 
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 unemployment related data listed above, 
October 2011-September 2012; and
    (3) Number of long-term unemployed, averages for the 12-month 
period, October 2011-September 2012.
    Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for 
PY 2013 for ES grants totals $664,183,664 (including the reductions). 
After determining the funding for outlying areas, the Department 
calculated allotments to States using the formula set forth at section 
6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49e). The Department based PY 
2013 formula allotments on each State's share of calendar year 2012 
monthly averages of the civilian labor force (CLF) and unemployment. 
The Secretary is required to set aside up to three percent of the total 
funds available for ES to ensure 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 this total 
allotment. The Department distributed the set-aside funds in two steps 
to States that have lost in their relative share of the total resources 
available this year from their relative share of the total resources 
available 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. ETA 
calculated the median CLF density based on CLF data provided by BLS for 
calendar year 2012. 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 $662,564,615 
for States, as well as $1,619,049 for outlying areas.
    Under section 7 of the Wagner-Peyser Act, 10 percent of the total 
sums allotted to each State must 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 2013 funding for 
Workforce Information Grants allotments to States is $31,939,520, the 
same as appropriated in PY 2012. 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. Guam and 
the Virgin Islands allotment amounts are partially based on CLF data, 
which the Department updated this year with data from the 2010 Census. 
The Department distributes the remaining funds 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 
2012.
