Workforce Investment Act Allotments; Wagner-Peyser Act 
Preliminary Planning Estimates; Reemployment Services Allotments; and 
Workforce Information Grants to States for Program Year (PY) 2002

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice announces states' Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 
allotments for Program Year (PY) 2002 (July 1, 2002-June 30, 2003) for 
WIA title I Youth, Adults and Dislocated Worker programs; preliminary 
planning estimates for public employment service (ES) activities under 
the Wagner-Peyser Act for PY 2002; Reemployment Services Allotments; 
and Workforce Information Grants to States for Program Year (PY) 2002. 
The WIA allotments for states and the planning estimates for public 
employment service activities 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. 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 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, Notice. The formula for PY 2002, like PY 2001, 
is the same as used for PY 2000 and is described in the section on 
Youth allotments. Comments are invited upon the formula used to allot 
funds to the outlying areas.

DATES: Comments must be received by April 8, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Employment and Training 
Administration, Office of Financial and Administrative Management, 200 
Constitution Ave, NW., Room N-4702, Washington, DC 20210, Attention:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) 
is announcing WIA allotments for PY 2002 (July 1, 2002-June 30, 2003) 
for Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker Activities, and 
Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2002 ES preliminary planning estimates. This 
document provides information on the amount of funds available during 
PY 2002 to states with an approved WIA title I and Wagner-Peyser 5-Year 
Strategic Plan and information regarding allotments to the outlying 
areas. The allotments and estimates are based on the funds appropriated 
in the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002, Public Law 107-116, 
January 10, 2002. Attached is a listing of the PY 2002 allotments for 
programs under WIA Title I Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated 
Workers Employment and Training Activities, and PY 2002 preliminary ES 
planning estimates under the Wagner-Peyser Act. Final Wagner-Peyser Act 
allotments for the employment service will be published in the Federal 
Register at a later date.
    Youth Activities Allotments. PY 2002 Youth Activities funds under 
WIA total $1,353,065,000 (including $225.1 million for Youth 
Opportunity grants). Attachment I contains a breakdown of the 
$1,127,965,000 in WIA title I Youth Activities program allotments for 
PY 2002 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2001 Youth 
Activities allotments for all states, outlying areas, Puerto Rico and 
the District of Columbia. Before determining the amount available for 
states, the total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 
percent of the full amount appropriated for Youth Activities, including 
Youth Opportunity Grants, resulting in $3,382,663, a decrease of 
$124,750, or 3.6 percent, from the PY 2001 level. WIA section 
127(b)(1)(B)(i)(IV) provides that the Freely Associated States 
(Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau) are not eligible for funding 
for any program year beginning after September 30, 2001. However, 
section 3 of Public Law 106-504, (November 13, 2000), supercedes this 
section of WIA, and provides that the Freely Associated States remain 
eligible for funding until negotiations on the Compact of Free 
Association is complete and consideration of legislation pursuant to 
the Compact is completed. Accordingly, the Freely Associated States are 
provided funds for PY 2002. The WIA provisions for competitive grants 
for the outlying areas expired after PY 2001, thus no competitive grant 
funds are available in PY 2002. 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 for PY 
2001 and PY 2000, i.e., funds are distributed among the 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. Data used for the relative 
share calculation in the formula were the same as used for PY 2001 and 
PY 2000 for all outlying areas, essentially using 1995 Census data from 
special surveys. Updated 2000 special Census data are expected to be 
available for PY 2003 allotment calculations. The total amount 
available for Native Americans is 1.5 percent of the total amount for 
Youth Activities excluding Youth Opportunity Grants, in accordance with 
WIA section 127. This total is $16,919,475, the same as the PY 2001 
Youth Activities level for Native Americans, including the supplemental 
appropriation. After determining the amount for the outlying areas and 
Native Americans, the amount available for allotment to the States for 
PY 2002 is $1,107,662,862, $124,750 more than PY 2001, including the 
supplemental appropriation. This total amount was above the required $1 
billion threshold specified in section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV); therefore, 
as in PY 2001, the WIA additional minimum provisions were applied: (1) 
Minimum 1998 dollar (not percentage) (JTPA II-B and II-C combined) 
allotment, and (2) 2-tier small State minimum allotment (.3 percent of 
first $1 billion and .4 percent of amount over $1 billion), rather than 
.25 percent. These provisions were in addition to the traditional 
provision of a 90 percent hold-harmless from the prior year allotment 
percentage. 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 
2002 allotments:
    (1) The number of unemployed for areas of substantial unemployment 
(ASU's) are averages for the 12-month period, July 2000 through 
preliminary June 2001;
    (2) The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess 
(depending on which is higher) are averages for the same 12-month 
period used for ASU unemployed data; and

[[Page 10809]]

    (3) The number of economically disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, 
excluding college students and military) are from the 1990 Census. 
(2000 Census data are not expected to be available for use until PY 
2004 allotment calculations.)
    Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total 
Adult Employment and Training Activities appropriation is $950,000,000, 
the same level as PY 2001. Attachment II shows the PY 2002 Adult 
Employment and Training Activities allotments and comparison to PY 2001 
allotments by state. Similarly to the Youth Activities program, the 
total available for the outlying areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of 
the full amount appropriated for Adults, or $2,375,000, the same level 
as PY 2001. As described for Youth Activities above, there are no 
competitive grants available after PY 2001 for the outlying areas. The 
Adult Activities funds for grants to all 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 $947,625,000, the same as PY 2001. Unlike the Youth 
Activities program, the WIA minimum provisions were not applied for the 
PY 2002 allotments because the total amount available for the states 
was below the $960 million threshold required for Adults 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 Youth Activities formula, except that data from 
the 1990 Census for the number of economically disadvantaged adults 
(age 22 to 72, excluding college students and military) were used. 
(2000 Census data are not expected to be available for use until PY 
2004 allotment calculations.)
    Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments. 
The total Dislocated Worker appropriation is $1,549,000,000, a decrease 
of $41,040,000, or 2.6 percent, from the PY 2001 pre-rescission level. 
The total appropriation includes 80 percent allotted by formula to the 
states, while 20 percent is retained for National Emergency Grants, 
technical assistance and training, demonstration projects, and for the 
outlying areas' Dislocated Worker allotments. Attachment III shows the 
PY 2002 Dislocated Worker Activities fund allotments by state. Like the 
Youth and Adults programs, the total available for the outlying areas 
was reserved at 0.25 percent of the full amount appropriated for 
Dislocated Worker Activities, resulting in $3,872,500, a decrease of 
$102,600 from PY 2001. As described for Youth Activities above, there 
are no competitive grants available after PY 2001 for the outlying 
areas. The Dislocated Worker Activities funds for grants to all 
outlying areas, for which the distribution methodology is at the 
Secretary's discretion, were distributed among the areas by the same 
pro rata share as the areas received for the PY 2002 WIA Adult 
Activities program, the same methodology used in PY 2001. The amount 
available for allotments to the states is eighty percent of the 
Dislocated Worker appropriation, or $1,239,232,000, a decrease of 2.6 
percent from PY 2001 pre-rescission level. 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 
number of unemployed. The three formula factors required in WIA use the 
following data for the PY 2002 allotments:
    (1) The number of unemployed are averages for the 12-month period, 
October 2000 through September 2001; (2) The number of excess 
unemployed are averages for the 12-month period, October 2000 through 
September 2001; and (3) The number of long-term unemployed are averages 
for calendar year 2000.
    Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service Preliminary Planning 
Estimates. The public employment service (ES) program involves a 
Federal-State partnership between the U.S. Department of Labor and the 
State Workforce Agencies. Under the Wagner-Peyser Act, funds are 
allotted to each state to administer a labor exchange program 
responding to the needs of the state's employers and workers through a 
system of local employment services offices that are part of the One-
Stop service delivery system established by the state. Attachment IV 
shows the ES preliminary planning estimates for PY 2002. These 
preliminary planning estimates have been produced using the formula set 
forth at section 6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act, 29 U.S.C. 49e. They are 
based on monthly averages for each state's share of the civilian labor 
force (CLF) and unemployment for the 12 months ending September 2001. 
Final allotments will be published in the Federal Register, based on 
calendar year 2001 data, as required by the Wagner-Peyser Act. State 
planning estimates reflect $16,000,000, or 2.1 percent of the total 
amount appropriated, which is being withheld from distribution to 
states to finance postage costs associated with the conduct of Wagner-
Peyser Act labor exchange services for PY 2002. The Secretary of Labor 
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 employment service activities, as required under 
section 6(b)(4) of the Wagner-Peyser Act. In accordance with this 
provision, the three percent set-aside funds, or $22,372,050, are 
included in the total planning estimate. The set-aside funds are 
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 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 2 to all other states losing in relative share from the 
prior year but not meeting the size and density criteria for Step 1. 
Under Wagner-Peyser Act section 7, ten percent of the total sums 
allotted to each state shall be reserved for use by the Governor to 
provide performance incentives for public ES offices; services for 
groups with special needs; and for the extra costs of exemplary models 
for delivering job services.
    Reemployment Services Allotments. The purpose of these funds is to 
ensure that all Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants receive the 
necessary services to become re-employed. The total funds available for 
PY 2002 are $35 million, the same as in PY 2001. The allocation figures 
for the distribution of the $35 million in Reemployment Services funds 
for each state for PY 2002 are listed in Attachment V. The remaining 
funds were allocated using the following method: each State received 
$215,000; the remaining funds were distributed using each state's share 
of first payments for FY 2001 to UI claimants. There will be a slight 
increase in funds to the states this year as there was no deduction in 
PY 2002 for an evaluation of services provided through these funds. 
Guidance on the use of these funds will be provided in a separate 
Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL).

[[Page 10810]]

    Workforce Information Grants to States. Total PY 2002 funding for 
Workforce Information Grants to States is $38,000,000, the same as for 
PY 2001. The allotment figures for each state are listed in Attachment 
VI. Funds are allocated by formula to the fifty states, the District of 
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Part of the 
allotment formula is based on the relative share of the CLF for each 
entity. Slight year-to-year changes in the size of the CLF in each area 
resulted in insignificant increases and decreases to PY 2002 
allotments, as compared to PY 2001 allotments. Guidance on the use of 
these funds will be provided in a separate TEGL.
