Workforce Investment Act; Native American Employment and Training 
Allotments

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 
section 166 final allotments for both the Supplemental Youth Services 
(SYS) and the Comprehensive Services (CS) programs for Program Year 
(PY) 2004. These individual grantee allotments are based on formulas 
defined in the section 166 program regulations at 20 CFR 668.296(b) for 
the Comprehensive Services program and 20 CFR 668.440(a) for the 
Supplemental Youth Services program. The rationale for the formulas is 
the same as described in the Interim Final Rule and the Final Rule 
published in the Federal Register on April 15, 1999 at 64 FR 18683 and 
on August 11, 2000 at 65 FR 49373-49375, respectively, and has been in 
effect for prior years of section 166 funding under WIA. Barring any 
changes which may arise as the result of WIA reauthorization 
legislation, the criteria used in these funding formulas will remain in 
effect for the foreseeable future.

ADDRESSES: Submit any written comments on the formulas used to allot 
these funds to the Employment and Training Administration, Office of 
Financial and Administrative Management, Room N-4702, 200 Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210, Attention: Ms. Sherryl Bailey, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) 
is announcing final WIA section 166 formula allotments for PY 2004 
(July 1, 2004--June 30, 2005) for both the Supplemental Youth Services 
and Comprehensive Services programs. This document provides information 
on the amount of funds available during PY 2004 to section 166 grantees 
with a two-year Comprehensive Services plan as approved by the Grant 
Officer, Mr. Eric Luetkenhaus. These allotments are based on the funds 
appropriated in the Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2004 
(Division E, title I of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004, Pub. 
L. 108-199). The attached table displays both the PY 2004 Supplemental 
Youth Services allotments and the PY 2004 Comprehensive Services 
allotments.
    Supplemental Youth Services Allotments. Pursuant to WIA section 
127(b)(1)(C)(i)(I), PY 2004 SYS funds are $14,925,890, which represents 
1.5 percent of the total PY 2004 WIA youth activities funding level of 
$995,059,306. These funds are available and only

allotted to those section 166 grantees (usually federally-recognized 
tribes or consortia thereof) serving certain areas in which Native 
American youth reside. These are areas on or near reservations, Native 
areas in the State of Alaska, tribal jurisdictional areas in Oklahoma, 
and Native Hawaiian youth in Hawaii. There are no set-asides or other 
deductions from the total amount listed above, nor are any funds held 
in reserve. The entire amount of $14,925,890 has been or will be 
awarded to the grantees listed in the accompanying table, of which 
$4,037,342 has been transferred to the Department of the Interior for 
those grantees participating in the demonstration under Pub. L. 102-477 
(see explanation below).
    Comprehensive Services Allotments. WIA section 174(a)(2)(A) 
authorizes not less than $55,000,000 to fund the section 166 
Comprehensive Services program each program year. However, the 
rescissions contained in Pub. L. 108-199 reduced the total available 
amount for PY 2004 to $54,675,500. Of this amount, $540,000 was 
reserved for technical assistance and training purposes pursuant to the 
regulations at 20 CFR 668.296(e); $54,135,500 was to be allotted to the 
section 166 grantees. Of this amount, $7,936,653 was transferred to the 
Department of the Interior, Office of Self-Governance and Self-
Determination, for grantees participating in the demonstration under 
Pub. L. 102-477, the Indian Employment, Training, and Related Services 
Demonstration Act of 1992, as amended. The tribes participating in the 
``477 program'' are identified with an asterisk (*) in the following 
allotment table.
    Use of 2000 Decennial Census Data. The 1990 Decennial Census data 
were used to calculate the PY 2004 funding formulas. The decision to 
postpone the implementation of 2000 Decennial Census data for a year 
(until PY 2005) was recommended by the Census Work Group of the Native 
American Employment and Training Council and approved as a formal 
recommendation to the Department by the entire Council in official 
session. This decision was based in part on the fact that respondents 
to the 2000 Census had the capability to indicate multiple races/ethnic 
groups on their forms, requiring that the Department make decisions 
concerning which data set to use to calculate future section 166 
funding formulas. The Department invites comments from the public on 
this decision, as well as recommendations or suggestions on how to 
utilize the 2000 Census data in the WIA section 166 program.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 1st day of October, 2004.

Assistant Secretary, Employment and Training Administration.
