ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces
allotments for PY 2017 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
2017 and the allotments of Workforce
Information Grants to States for PY
2017.
WIOA allotments for States and the
State final allotments for the WagnerPeyser Act are based on formulas
defined in their respective statutes.
WIOA requires allotments for the
Outlying Areas to be competitively
based rather than based on a formula
determined by the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) as occurred under the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA). For
PY 2017, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2017 waives the
competition requirement, and the
Secretary is using the discretionary
formula rationale and methodology for
allocating PY 2017 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 at 65 FR 8236 (Feb. 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 2017 is the
same formula used in PY 2016 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 July 17, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department is announcing WIOA
allotments for PY 2017 for Youth
Activities, Adults and Dislocated
Worker Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act
PY 2017 final allotments, and PY 2017
Workforce Information Grant
allotments. This notice provides
information on the amount of funds
available during PY 2017 to States with
an approved WIOA Title I and WagnerPeyser Act Strategic Plan for PY 2017,
and information regarding allotments to
the Outlying Areas.
On May 5, 2017, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2017, Public Law
115–31 was signed into law (‘‘the Act’’).
The Act, Division H, Title I, Section 107
of the Act allows the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) to set aside up to 0.75
percent of most operating funds for
evaluations. The evaluation provision is
consistent with the Federal
government’s priority on evidencebased policy and programming
providing opportunities to expand
evaluations and demonstrations in the
Department to build solid evidence
about what works best. In the past,
funds for ETA evaluations and
demonstrations were separately
appropriated and managed by ETA.
That separate authority has been
replaced by the set aside provision.
Funds are transferred to the
Department’s Chief Evaluation Office to
implement formal evaluations and
demonstrations in collaboration with
ETA. For 2017, the Secretary set aside
0.25 percent of the Training and
Employment Services (TES) and State
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Unemployment Insurance and
Employment Services Operations
(SUIESO) appropriations. ETA spread
the amount to be set aside for each
appropriation among the programs
funded by that appropriation with more
than $100 million in funding. This
includes WIOA Adult, Youth and
Dislocated Worker and Wagner-Peyser
Employment Service program budgets.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2017, Division H, Title I, sec. 106(b),
allows the Secretary to set aside up to
0.5 percent of each discretionary
appropriation for activities related to
program integrity. For 2017, the
Department set aside the full 0.5 percent
of most discretionary appropriations
which reduced WIOA Adult, Youth,
Dislocated Worker, Wagner-Peyser
Employment Service and Workforce
Information Grant program budgets.
We also have attached tables listing
the PY 2017 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 2017 Wagner-Peyser Act
final allotments (Table D). We also have
attached the PY 2017 Workforce
Information Grant table (Table E).
Youth Activities Allotments. The
appropriated level for PY 2017 for
WIOA Youth Activities totals
$873,416,000. After reducing the
appropriation by $2,488,000 for
evaluations and $4,367,080 for program
integrity, $866,560,920, is available for
Youth Activities. Table A includes a
breakdown of the Youth Activities
program allotments for PY 2017 and
provides a comparison of these
allotments to PY 2016 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 Consolidated

Appropriations Act, 2017 (Division H,
Title III, Section 305 of Pub. L. 115–31)
authorized WIOA Title I funding to
Palau through FY 2017.
Under WIA, the Secretary had
discretion for determining the
methodology for distributing funds to
all Outlying Areas. Under WIOA the
Secretary must disseminate the funds
through a competitive process. For PY
2017, the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2017 waives the competition
requirement contained in WIOA secs.
127(b)(1)(B)(ii), 132(b)(1)(A)(ii), and
132(b)(2)(A)(ii) 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 2017, 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
2017, 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.
After the Department calculated the
amount for the Outlying Areas and the
Native American program, it was
determined that the amount available
for PY 2017 allotments to the States is
$851,428,600. This total amount was
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.
This is the same methodology to set a
floor on the annual variation in
allotments as has been applied 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

2017 Youth Activities State formula
allotments are, summarized slightly, as
follows:
(1) The average number of
unemployed individuals for Areas of
Substantial Unemployment (ASUs) for
the 12-month period, July 2015–June
2016;
(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 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 Census Bureau and used since PY
2013. The Census Bureau collected the
data used in the special tabulations for
disadvantaged youth between January 1,
2006–December 31, 2010.
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–16–15).
For purposes of determining the number
of disadvantaged youth, the Department
continued to use the special tabulations
of ACS data available at https://
www.doleta.gov/budget/
disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm.
See TEGL No. 21–12 for further
information.
Adult Employment and Training
Activities Allotments. The total
appropriated funds for Adult Activities
in PY 2017 is $815,556,000. After
reducing the appropriated amount by
$2,323,000 for evaluations and
$4,077,780 for program integrity,
$809,155,220 remains for Adult
Activities, of which $807,132,332 is for
States and $2,022,888 is for Outlying
Areas. Table B shows the PY 2017 Adult
Employment and Training Activities
allotments and a State by State
comparison of the PY 2017 allotments to
PY 2016 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 2017 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. After
determining the amount for the
Outlying Areas, the Department used
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 2017
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. This is the same methodology to
set a floor on the annual variation in
allotments as has been applied 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 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 in the
workforce and military).
Dislocated Worker Employment and
Training Activities Allotments. The
amount appropriated for Dislocated
Worker activities in PY 2017 totals
$1,241,719,000. 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 $3,536,000 for
evaluations and $6,208,595 for program
integrity, a total of $1,231,974,405
remains available for Dislocated Worker
activities. The amount available for
Outlying Areas is $3,079,936, leaving
$216,046,769 for the National Reserve
and a total of $1,012,847,700 available
for States. Like the Adult program,
Table C shows the PY 2017 Dislocated
Worker activities allotments and a State
by State comparison of the PY 2017
allotments to PY 2016 allotments.
Like 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
E:\FR\FM\15JNN1.SGM
15JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 114 / Thursday, June 15, 2017 / Notices
2017 the Department will use the same
pro rata share as the areas received for
the PY 2017 WIOA Adult Activities
program to distribute the Outlying
Areas’ Dislocated Worker funds, the
same methodology used in PY 2016.
The three data factors required in
WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(ii) for the PY
2017 Dislocated Worker State formula
allotments are, summarized slightly, as
follows:
(1) Number of unemployed, averages
for the 12-month period, October 2015–
September 2016;
(2) Number of excess unemployed,
averages for the 12-month period,
October 2015–September 2016; and
(3) Number of long-term unemployed,
averages for the 12-month period,
October 2015–September 2016.
In PY 2017, 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 or more than
130 percent of the State’s prior year
allotment percentage.
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final
Allotments. The appropriated level for
PY 2017 for ES grants totals
$671,413,000. After reducing the
appropriated amount by $1,826,000 for
evaluations and $3,357,065 for program
integrity, a total of $666,229,935
remains available for ES programs. After
determining the funding for Outlying
Areas, the Department calculated
allotments to States using the formula
set forth at section 6 of the WagnerPeyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49e). The
Department based PY 2017 formula
allotments on each State’s share of
calendar year 2016 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
2016. All remaining set-aside funds
were distributed 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 $664,605,898 for States, as well
as $1,624,037 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
27529
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 WagnerPeyser 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).
Workforce Information Grants
Allotments. Total PY 2017 funding for
Workforce Information Grants
allotments to States is $32,000,000.
After reducing the total by $160,000 for
program integrity, $31,840,000 is
available for Workforce Information
Grants. The allotment figures for each
State are listed in Table E. Funds are
distributed by administrative formula,
with a reserve of $176,416 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 2016.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Program Year (PY) 2017 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA) Allotments; PY 2017 Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments and PY
2017 Workforce Information Grants
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces allotments for PY 2017 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 2017 and the allotments of Workforce Information
Grants to States for PY 2017.
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 based rather than based on a formula determined by the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) as occurred under the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA). For PY 2017, the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2017 waives the competition requirement, and the Secretary is using the
discretionary formula rationale and methodology for allocating PY 2017
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
[[Page 27527]]
Federal Register at 65 FR 8236 (Feb. 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 2017 is the same formula used in PY 2016 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 July 17, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), Office of Financial Administration, 200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is announcing WIOA allotments
for PY 2017 for Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker
Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2017 final allotments, and PY 2017
Workforce Information Grant allotments. This notice provides
information on the amount of funds available during PY 2017 to States
with an approved WIOA Title I and Wagner-Peyser Act Strategic Plan for
PY 2017, and information regarding allotments to the Outlying Areas.
On May 5, 2017, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, Public
Law 115-31 was signed into law (``the Act''). The Act, Division H,
Title I, Section 107 of the Act allows the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) to set aside up to 0.75 percent of most operating funds for
evaluations. The evaluation provision is consistent with the Federal
government's priority on evidence-based policy and programming
providing opportunities to expand evaluations and demonstrations in the
Department to build solid evidence about what works best. In the past,
funds for ETA evaluations and demonstrations were separately
appropriated and managed by ETA. That separate authority has been
replaced by the set aside provision. Funds are transferred to the
Department's Chief Evaluation Office to implement formal evaluations
and demonstrations in collaboration with ETA. For 2017, the Secretary
set aside 0.25 percent of the Training and Employment Services (TES)
and State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services Operations
(SUIESO) appropriations. ETA spread the amount to be set aside for each
appropriation among the programs funded by that appropriation with more
than $100 million in funding. This includes WIOA Adult, Youth and
Dislocated Worker and Wagner-Peyser Employment Service program budgets.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, Division H, Title I,
sec. 106(b), allows the Secretary to set aside up to 0.5 percent of
each discretionary appropriation for activities related to program
integrity. For 2017, the Department set aside the full 0.5 percent of
most discretionary appropriations which reduced WIOA Adult, Youth,
Dislocated Worker, Wagner-Peyser Employment Service and Workforce
Information Grant program budgets.
We also have attached tables listing the PY 2017 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 2017 Wagner-Peyser Act final allotments
(Table D). We also have attached the PY 2017 Workforce Information
Grant table (Table E).
Youth Activities Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2017 for
WIOA Youth Activities totals $873,416,000. After reducing the
appropriation by $2,488,000 for evaluations and $4,367,080 for program
integrity, $866,560,920, is available for Youth Activities. Table A
includes a breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments for PY
2017 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2016 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 Consolidated
[[Page 27528]]
Appropriations Act, 2017 (Division H, Title III, Section 305 of Pub. L.
115-31) authorized WIOA Title I funding to Palau through FY 2017.
Under WIA, the Secretary had discretion for determining the
methodology for distributing funds to all Outlying Areas. Under WIOA
the Secretary must disseminate the funds through a competitive process.
For PY 2017, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 waives the
competition requirement contained in WIOA secs. 127(b)(1)(B)(ii),
132(b)(1)(A)(ii), and 132(b)(2)(A)(ii) 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 2017, 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 2017, 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.
After the Department calculated the amount for the Outlying Areas
and the Native American program, it was determined that the amount
available for PY 2017 allotments to the States is $851,428,600. This
total amount was 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. This is the same methodology to
set a floor on the annual variation in allotments as has been applied
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 2017 Youth Activities State
formula allotments are, summarized slightly, as follows:
(1) The average number of unemployed individuals for Areas of
Substantial Unemployment (ASUs) for the 12-month period, July 2015-June
2016;
(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 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 Census Bureau and used since PY 2013. The Census
Bureau collected the data used in the special tabulations for
disadvantaged youth between January 1, 2006-December 31, 2010.
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-16-15). For purposes of
determining the number of disadvantaged youth, the Department continued
to use the special tabulations of ACS data available at https://www.doleta.gov/budget/disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm.
See TEGL No. 21-12 for further information.
Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total
appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2017 is $815,556,000.
After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,323,000 for evaluations
and $4,077,780 for program integrity, $809,155,220 remains for Adult
Activities, of which $807,132,332 is for States and $2,022,888 is for
Outlying Areas. Table B shows the PY 2017 Adult Employment and Training
Activities allotments and a State by State comparison of the PY 2017
allotments to PY 2016 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 2017 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. 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 2017 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. This is the same
methodology to set a floor on the annual variation in allotments as has
been applied 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 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 in the workforce and military).
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments.
The amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker activities in PY 2017
totals $1,241,719,000. 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 $3,536,000 for
evaluations and $6,208,595 for program integrity, a total of
$1,231,974,405 remains available for Dislocated Worker activities. The
amount available for Outlying Areas is $3,079,936, leaving $216,046,769
for the National Reserve and a total of $1,012,847,700 available for
States. Like the Adult program, Table C shows the PY 2017 Dislocated
Worker activities allotments and a State by State comparison of the PY
2017 allotments to PY 2016 allotments.
Like 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
[[Page 27529]]
2017 the Department will use the same pro rata share as the areas
received for the PY 2017 WIOA Adult Activities program to distribute
the Outlying Areas' Dislocated Worker funds, the same methodology used
in PY 2016.
The three data factors required in WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(ii) for
the PY 2017 Dislocated Worker State formula allotments are, summarized
slightly, as follows:
(1) Number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, October
2015-September 2016;
(2) Number of excess unemployed, averages for the 12-month period,
October 2015-September 2016; and
(3) Number of long-term unemployed, averages for the 12-month
period, October 2015-September 2016.
In PY 2017, 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 or more
than 130 percent of the State's prior year allotment percentage.
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for
PY 2017 for ES grants totals $671,413,000. After reducing the
appropriated amount by $1,826,000 for evaluations and $3,357,065 for
program integrity, a total of $666,229,935 remains available for ES
programs. 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 2017 formula allotments on each State's share of calendar year
2016 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 2016. All remaining set-aside
funds were distributed 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 $664,605,898 for States, as
well as $1,624,037 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).
Workforce Information Grants Allotments. Total PY 2017 funding for
Workforce Information Grants allotments to States is $32,000,000. After
reducing the total by $160,000 for program integrity, $31,840,000 is
available for Workforce Information Grants. The allotment figures for
each State are listed in Table E. Funds are distributed by
administrative formula, with a reserve of $176,416 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 2016.
