DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Program Year (PY) 2019 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA) Allotments; PY 2019 Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments and PY
2019 Workforce Information Grants
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces allotments for PY 2019 for WIOA Title I
Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker Activities programs; final
allotments for Employment Service (ES) activities under the Wagner-
Peyser Act for PY 2019 and the allotments of Workforce Information
Grants to States for PY 2019.
WIOA allotments for states and the state final allotments for the
Wagner-Peyser Act are based on formulas defined in their respective
statutes. WIOA requires allotments for the Outlying Areas to be
competitively awarded rather than based on a formula determined by the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) as occurred under the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA). However, for PY 2019, the Department of Defense
and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act,
2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 waives the competition
requirement, and the Secretary is using the discretionary formula
rationale and methodology for allocating PY 2019 funds for the Outlying
Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the United States Virgin Islands)
that was published in the Federal Register on February 17, 2000. WIOA
specifically included the Republic of Palau as an Outlying Area, except
during any period for which the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of
Education determine that a Compact of Free Association is in effect and
contains provisions for training and education assistance prohibiting
the assistance provided under WIOA; no such determinations prohibiting
assistance have been made. The formula that the Department of Labor
(Department) used for PY 2019 is the same formula used in PY 2018 and
is described in the section on Youth Activities program allotments. The
Department invites comments only on the formula used to allot funds to
the Outlying Areas.
DATES: The Department must receive comments on the formula used to
allot funds to the Outlying Areas by May 20, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is announcing WIOA allotments
for PY 2019 for Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker
Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2019 final allotments, and PY 2019
Workforce Information Grant allotments. This notice provides
information on the amount of funds available during PY 2019 to states
with an approved WIOA Combined or Unified State Plan, and information
regarding allotments to the Outlying Areas.
On September 28, 2018, the Department of Defense and Labor, Health
and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019, Public Law 115-245 was signed into
law (``the Act''). The Act, Division B, Title I, Sections 106(b) and
107 of the Act allows the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to set aside
up to 0.5 percent of each discretionary appropriation for activities
related to program integrity and 0.75 percent of most operating funds
for evaluations. For 2019, as authorized by the Act, the Department has
set aside $7,774,000 of the Training and Employment Services (TES) and
$1,950,000 of the State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services
Operations (SUIESO) appropriations for these activities. ETA reserved
these funds from the WIOA Adult, Youth, Dislocated Worker, Wagner-
Peyser Act Employment Service, and Workforce Information Grant program
budgets. Any funds not utilized for these reserve activities will be
provided to the states. We also have attached tables listing the PY
2019 allotments for programs under WIOA Title I Youth Activities (Table
A), Adult and Dislocated Workers Employment and Training Activities
(Tables B and C, respectively), and the PY 2019 Wagner-Peyser Act final
allotments (Table D). We also have attached the PY 2019 Workforce
Information Grant table (Table E).
Youth Activities Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2019 for
WIOA Youth Activities totals $903,416,000. After reducing the
appropriation by $2,625,000 for set asides authorized by the Act,
$900,791,000, is available for Youth Activities. Table A includes a
[[Page 16539]]
breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2019 and
provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2018 Youth Activities
allotments for all States and Outlying Areas. For the Native American
Youth program, the total amount available is 1.5 percent of the total
amount for Youth Activities (after the evaluations and program
integrity set-asides), in accordance with WIOA section 127. The total
funding available for the Outlying Areas was reserved at 0.25 percent
of the amount appropriated for Youth Activities (after the evaluations
and program integrity set asides) after the amount reserved for Native
American Youth (in accordance with WIOA section 127(b)(1)(B)(i)). 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 specified that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIA
Title I funding. See 48 U.S.C 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). WIOA sec. 512(g)(1)
updated the Compact to refer to WIOA funding. The Department of Defense
and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act,
2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (Division B, Title III,
Section 303 of Pub. L. 115-245) authorized WIOA Title I funding to
Palau through FY 2019.
Under WIA, the Secretary had discretion for determining the
methodology for distributing funds to all Outlying Areas. Under WIOA
the Secretary must award the funds through a competitive process.
However, for PY 2019, the Department of Defense and Labor, Health and
Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2019 waives the competition requirement regarding
funding to Outlying Areas (e.g., American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the United
States Virgin Islands). For PY 2019, the Department used the same
methodology used since PY 2000 (i.e., we distribute funds among the
Outlying Areas by formula based on relative share of the number of
unemployed, a minimum of 90 percent of the prior year allotment
percentage, a $75,000 minimum, and a 130 percent stop gain of the prior
year share). For the relative share calculation in PY 2019, the
Department continued to use the data obtained from the 2010 Census for
American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
and the United States Virgin Islands. For the Republic of Palau, the
Department used data from Palau's 2015 Census. The Department will
accept comments on this methodology.
After the Department calculated the amount for the Outlying Areas
and the Native American program, the amount available for PY 2019
allotments to the states is $885,060,937. This total amount is below
the required $1 billion threshold specified in WIOA sec.
127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV); therefore, the Department did not apply the WIOA
additional minimum provisions. Instead, as required by WIOA, the
minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25
percent state minimum floor apply. The Department used this same
methodology to set a floor on the annual variation in allotments almost
continuously for more than two decades. See sec. 262(b)(2) of the Job
Training Partnership Act (JTPA) (Pub. L. 97-300), (as amended by sec.
207 of the Job Training Reform Amendments of 1992, Pub. L. 102-367);
sec. 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV) of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub.
L. 105-220). WIOA also provides that no state may receive an allotment
that is more than 130 percent of the allotment percentage for the state
for the previous year. The three data factors required by WIOA sec.
127(b)(1)(C)(ii) for the PY 2019 Youth Activities state formula
allotments are, summarized slightly, as follows:
(1) The average number of unemployed individuals in Areas of
Substantial Unemployment (ASUs) for the 12-month period, July 2017-
June 2018 in each state compared to the total number of unemployed
individuals in ASUs for all states;
(2) Number of excess unemployed individuals or excess unemployed
individuals in ASUs (depending on which is higher) averages for the
same 12-month period used for ASU unemployed data compared to the
total excess number in all states; and
(3) Number of disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, excluding
college students not in the workforce and military) from special
tabulations of data from the American Community Survey (ACS), which
the Department obtained from the Census Bureau in each state
compared to the total number of disadvantaged youth in all states.
ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2018 and the same data must
be used in PY 2019. The Census Bureau collected the data used in the
special tabulations for disadvantaged youth between January 1, 2011-
December 31, 2015.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities allotment
formula, the Department continued to use the data made available by BLS
(as described in the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
Technical Memorandum No. S-18-15). For purposes of determining the
number of disadvantaged youth, the Department used the special
tabulations of ACS data available at http://www.doleta.gov/budget/disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm.
See TEGL No. 14-17 for further information.
Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total
appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2019 is $845,556,000.
After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,069,000 for set asides
authorized by the Act, $843,487,000 remains for Adult Activities, of
which $841,378,282 is for states and $2,108,718 is for Outlying Areas.
Table B shows the PY 2019 Adult Employment and Training Activities
allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2019 allotments to
PY 2018 allotments.
In accordance with WIOA, the Department reserved the total
available for the Outlying Areas at 0.25 percent of the full amount
appropriated for Adult Activities (after the evaluations and program
integrity set-asides). As discussed in the Youth Activities section
above, in PY 2019 the Department will distribute the Adult Activities
funding for the Outlying Areas, using the same principles, formula, and
data as used for outlying areas for Youth Activities. The Department
will accept comments on this methodology. After determining the amount
for the Outlying Areas, the Department used the statutory formula to
distribute the remaining amount available for allotments to the states.
The Department did not apply the WIOA minimum provisions for the PY
2019 allotments because the total amount available for the states was
below the $960 million threshold required for Adult Activities in WIOA
sec. 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV). Instead, as required by WIOA, the minimums
of 90 percent of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent
state minimum floor apply. As noted above, the Department applied this
same methodology to set a floor on the annual variation in allotments
almost continuously for more than two decades. WIOA also provides that
no state may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the
allotment percentage for the state for the previous year. 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 disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, excluding
college students not in the workforce and military).
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments.
The amount appropriated for Dislocated
[[Page 16540]]
Worker activities in PY 2019 totals $1,261,719,000. The total
appropriation includes formula funds for the states, while the National
Reserve is used for National Dislocated Worker Grants, technical
assistance and training, demonstration projects, and the Outlying
Areas' Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing the appropriated
amount by $3,080,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, a total of
$1,258,639,000 remains available for Dislocated Worker activities. The
amount available for Outlying Areas is $3,146,598, leaving $217,131,402
for the National Reserve and a total of $1,038,361,000 available for
states. Table C shows the PY 2019 Dislocated Worker activities
allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2019 allotments to
PY 2018 allotments.
Similar to the Adult Activities program, the Department reserved
the total available for the Outlying Areas at 0.25 percent of the full
amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker Activities (after the
evaluations and program integrity set-asides). Similar to Youth and
Adult funds, instead of competition, in PY 2019 the Department will use
the same pro rata share as the areas received for the PY 2019 WIOA
Adult Activities program to distribute the Outlying Areas' Dislocated
Worker funds, the same methodology used in PY 2018. The Department will
accept comments on this methodology.
The three data factors required in WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(ii) for
the PY 2019 Dislocated Worker state formula allotments are, summarized
slightly, as follows:
(1) Relative number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month
period, October 2017-September 2018;
(2) Relative number of excess unemployed individuals, averages for
the 12-month period, October 2017-September 2018; and
(3) Relative number of long-term unemployed, averages for the 12-
month period, October 2017-September 2018.
In PY 2019, under WIOA the Dislocated Worker formula uses minimum
and maximum provisions. No state may receive an allotment that is less
than 90 percent of the state's prior year allotment percentage (stop
loss) or more than 130 percent of the state's prior year allotment
percentage (stop gain).
Low unemployment rates in the states have impacted the excess
unemployment data factor in the WIOA Dislocated Worker formula. The
excess unemployment rate of 4.5 percent and low unemployment result in
all states triggering either their statutorily required stop loss or
stop gain provision, with some PY 2019 funding undistributed. WIOA
specifically prohibits distributing an amount to a state that is more
than its stop gain limit. Based on this statutory limitation, the
Department distributed the remaining balance of funds according to the
formula driven relative share of all states triggering the stop loss
provision.
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for
PY 2019 for ES grants totals $663,052,000. After reducing the
appropriated amount by $1,865,000 for set asides authorized by the Act,
a total of $661,187,000 remains available for ES programs. After
determining the funding for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands,
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 2019 formula allotments on each state's share of
calendar year 2018 monthly averages of the civilian labor force (CLF)
and unemployment. Section 6(b)(4) of the Wagner-Peyser Act requires the
Secretary 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. In accordance with this provision,
the Department included the three percent set aside funds in this total
allotment. The Department distributed the set-aside funds in two steps
to states that have experienced a reduction 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 the BLS for calendar year 2018. The Department distributed
all remaining set-aside funds on a pro-rata basis in Step 2 to all
other states experiencing reductions 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 $659,575,256 for states, as
well as $1,611,744 for Outlying Areas.
Section 7(a) of the Wagner-Peyser Act (49 U.S.C. 49f(a)) authorizes
states to use 90 percent of funds allotted to a state for labor
exchange services and other career services such as job search and
placement services to job seekers; appropriate recruitment services for
employers; program evaluations; developing and providing labor market
and occupational information; developing management information
systems; and administering the work test for unemployment insurance
claimants. Section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act states that 10 percent
of the total sums allotted to each state must be reserved for use by
the Governor to provide performance incentives for public ES offices
and programs, provide services for groups with special needs, and to
provide for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering services
of the type described in section 7(a) and models for enhancing
professional development and career advancement opportunities of state
agency staff.
Beginning in PY 2019, ETA will begin conducting a pilot to collect
information about administrative costs at the State and local levels
under the Wagner-Peyser Act, in accordance with the directive
established in the FY 2019 Joint Explanatory Statement. This pilot will
inform ETA and Congressional stakeholders about the services and costs
of the Wagner-Peyser Act going forward. States can indicate their
interest in the pilot by contacting their Regional Office.
Workforce Information Grants Allotments. Total PY 2019 funding for
Workforce Information Grants allotments to states is $32,000,000. After
reducing the total by $85,000 for program integrity, $31,915,000 is
available for Workforce Information Grants. Table E contains the
allotment figures for each state and Outlying Area. The Department
distributes the funds by administrative formula, with a reserve of
$176,596 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Guam and the
United States Virgin Islands allotment amounts are partially based on
CLF data. 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 2018.
