Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Americans with Disabilities Act
Discrimination Complaint Form.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
No form number. The applicable
component within the Department of
Justice is the Disability Rights Section in
the Civil Rights Division.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals alleging
discrimination by public entities based
on disability. Under title II of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, an
individual who believes that he or she
has been subjected to discrimination on
the basis of disability by a public entity
may, by himself or herself or by an
authorized representative, file a
complaint. Any Federal agency that
receives a complaint of discrimination
by a public entity is required to review
the complaint to determine whether it
has jurisdiction under section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act. If the agency does
not have jurisdiction, it must determine
whether it is the designated agency
responsible for complaints filed against
that public entity. If the agency does not
have jurisdiction under section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act and is not the
designated agency, it must refer the
complaint to the Department of Justice.
The Department of Justice then must
refer the complaint to the appropriate
agency.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 9,100
respondents per year at 0.50 hours per
complaint form.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 4,550
hours. It is estimated that respondents
will take 0.50 hour to complete the
questionnaire. The burden hours for
collecting respondent data sum to 4,550
hours (9,100 respondents × 0.50 hours =
4,550 hours).

I Youth, Adults and Dislocated Worker
Activities programs; final allotments for
Employment Service (ES) activities
under the Wagner-Peyser Act for PY
2015 and Workforce Information Grants
allotments for PY 2015.
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 2015, the Secretary is using the
transitional authority provided by
WIOA in Section 503(b) to use the
discretionary formula rationale and
methodology for allocating PY 2015
funds for the outlying areas (American
Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas,
Palau, and the Virgin Islands) that was
published in the Federal Register at 65
FR 8236 (Feb. 17, 2000). The formula
that the Department of Labor
(Department) used for PY 2015 is the
same formula used in PY 2014 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.
The Department will implement a
competitive grant process for funding
the outlying areas in PY 2016.
DATES: Comments on the formula used
to allot funds to the outlying areas must
be received by June 3, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department is announcing WIOA
allotments for PY 2015 for Youth
Activities, Adults and Dislocated
Worker Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act
PY 2015 final allotments, and PY 2015
Workforce Information Grant
allotments. This notice provides
information on the amount of funds
available during PY 2015 to States with
an approved WIA Title I and WagnerPeyser Act Strategic Plan for PY 2015,
and information regarding allotments to
the outlying areas.
On December 16, 2014, the
Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law
113–235 was signed into law (‘‘the
Act’’). The Act, Division G, Title I,
Section 107 of the Act allows the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to set
aside up to 0.5 percent of most
operating funds. The evaluation
provision is consistent with the Federal
government’s priority on evidence-
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
based policy and programming and
provides important 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. This
year, 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 2015, the Secretary set aside
.25 percent of the TES and 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.
We also have attached tables listing
the PY 2015 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 2015 Wagner-Peyser Act
final allotments (Table D). We also have
attached the PY 2015 Workforce
Information Grant table (Table E).
Youth Activities Allotments. The
appropriated level for PY 2015 for
WIOA Youth Activities totals
$831,842,000. After reducing the
appropriation by $2,295,000 for
evaluations, $829,547,000 is available
for Youth Activities. Table A includes a
breakdown of the Youth Activities
program allotments for PY 2015 and
provides a comparison of these
allotments to PY 2014 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
set aside), 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 set aside) minus 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 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. 1921 d
(f)(1)(B)(iii). The Compact also specified
E:\FR\FM\04MYN1.SGM
04MYN1
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 85 / Monday, May 4, 2015 / Notices
that the Republic of Palau remained
eligible for WIA Title I funding. See 48
U.S.C. 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). WIOA section
512(g)(1) updated the Compact to refer
to WIOA funding. The Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriations Act,
2015 (Division F, Title III, Section 306
of Pub. L. 113–235) authorized WIOA
Title I funding to Palau through FY
2015.
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. Using
the transition authority provided in
WIOA Section 503(b), ETA will delay
implementation of a competitive grant
process for outlying areas until PY 2016.
For PY 2015, 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 number of unemployed,
a 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior
year share, a $75,000 minimum, and a
130 percent stop-gain for the state for
the previous year). For the relative share
calculation in PY 2015, the Department
continued to use the data obtained from
the 2010 Census for American Samoa,
Guam, Commonwealth of Northern
Marianas Islands, and Virgin Islands.
For Palau, the Department continued to
use data from Palau’s 2005 Census.
After the Department calculated the
amount for the outlying areas and
Native Americans, we determined that
the amount available for PY 2015
allotments to the States is $815,061,036.
This total amount was below the
required $1 billion threshold specified
in WIOA section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV);
therefore, the Department did not apply
the WIOA additional minimum
provisions. Instead, as required by
WIOA, the Department used the Job
Training Partnership Act (JTPA) (Pub. L.
97–300), section 262(a)(3) (as amended
by section 207 of the Job Training
Reform Amendments of 1992, Pub. L.
102–367) minimums of 90 percent holdharmless of the prior year allotment
percentage and 0.25 percent State
minimum floor. 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 for the PY 2015
Youth Activities State formula
allotments are:
(1) The average number of
unemployed individuals for Areas of
Substantial Unemployment (ASUs) for
the 12-month period, July 2013–June
2014;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:40 May 01, 2015
Jkt 235001
(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.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for
the within-State Youth Activities
allocation formula, States should
continue to use the data made available
by BLS (as described in LAUS Technical
Memorandum No. S–14–22). For
purposes of determining the number of
economically disadvantaged Youth for
the statutory within-state allocation
formula, States should continue to use
the special tabulations of ACS data
made available to them in 2013 and
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 2015 is $776,736,000. After
reducing the appropriated amount by
$2,143,000 for evaluations,
$774,593,000 remains for Adult
Activities, of which $772,656,517 is for
States and $1,936,483 is for outlying
areas. Table B shows the PY 2015 Adult
Employment and Training Activities
allotments and a State by State
comparison of the PY 2015 allotments to
PY 2014 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 set
aside). As discussed in the Youth
Activities section above, in PY 2015 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
2015 allotments because the total
amount available for the States was
below the $960 million threshold
required for Adult Activities in WIOA
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
25327
section 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV). Instead, as
required by WIOA, the Department
calculated minimum allotments using
the JTPA section 202(b)(2) (as amended
by section 202 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.
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 economically disadvantaged
Adults (age 18 to 72, excluding college
students in the workforce and military).
As noted above, updated data for
within-state ASU calculations is
available from BLS, and States should
continue to use the economically
disadvantaged Adults data made
available to States by the Department in
2013.
Dislocated Worker Employment and
Training Activities Allotments. The
amount appropriated for Dislocated
Worker activities in PY 2015 totals
$1,236,389,000. 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 $3,411,000 for evaluations, a total of
$1,232,978,000 remains available for
Dislocated Worker activities. The
amount available for outlying areas is
$3,082,445, leaving $217,167,555 for the
National Reserve and a total of
$1,012,728,000 available for States. Like
the Adult program, Table C shows the
PY 2015 Dislocated Worker activities
allotments and a by State comparison of
the PY 2015 allotments to PY 2014
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 set aside). As with the
Youth and Adult funds, the Department
will not distribute the Dislocated
Worker Activities funds for grants to the
outlying areas by competitive grant until
PY 2016. In PY 2015 the Department
will use the same pro rata share as the
areas received for the PY 2015 WIOA
Adult Activities program, the same
methodology used in PY 2014.
The three data factors required in
WIOA for the PY 2015 Dislocated
Worker State formula allotments are:
E:\FR\FM\04MYN1.SGM
04MYN1
25328
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 85 / Monday, May 4, 2015 / Notices
(1) Number of unemployed, averages
for the 12-month period, October 2013—
September 2014;
(2) Number of excess unemployed,
averages for the 12-month period,
October 2013—September 2014; and
(3) Number of long-term unemployed,
averages for the 12-month period,
October 2013—September 2014.
Since the Dislocated Worker
Activities formula has no floor amount
or hold-harmless provisions until PY
2016, funding changes for States
directly reflect the impact of changes in
unemployment related data listed
above.
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final
Allotments. The appropriated level for
PY 2015 for ES grants totals
$664,184,000. After reducing the
appropriated amount by $1,784,000 for
evaluations, a total of $662,400,000
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 2015 formula
allotments on each State’s share of
calendar year 2014 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 BLS for calendar year 2014.
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 $660,785,299 for States, as well
as $1,614,701 for outlying areas.
Under section 7 of the Wagner-Peyser
Act, ten 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 2015 funding for
Workforce Information Grants
allotments to States is $32,000,000. The
allotment figures for each State are
listed in Table E. Funds are distributed
by administrative formula, with a
reserve of $176,800 for Guam and the
Virgin Islands. Guam and the 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 2014.

BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Copyright Office
[Docket No. 2015–02]
Scope of the Copyright Royalty
Judges’ Continuing Jurisdiction
U.S. Copyright Office, Library
of Congress.
ACTION: Final order.
AGENCY:
The Copyright Royalty Judges
(‘‘CRJs’’), acting pursuant to statute,
referred novel material questions of
substantive law to the Register of
Copyrights for resolution. Those
questions concerned the scope of the
CRJs’ authority, under the statutory
grant of continuing jurisdiction over
ratemaking determinations, to issue a
clarifying interpretation of regulations
adopted pursuant to such a

MEMORANDUM OPINION ON A
NOVEL QUESTION OF LAW
In relation to the above-captioned
proceeding before the Copyright Royalty
Judges (‘‘CRJs’’ or ‘‘Judges’’), questions
have arisen about the proper
interpretation of 17 U.S.C. 803(c)(4),
which provides the CRJs with
‘‘continuing jurisdiction’’ in certain
circumstances to amend a written
determination after it has issued. The
CRJs determined that these were novel
material questions of substantive law
and, as required by section 802(f)(1)(B),
referred them to the Register of
Copyrights for resolution. The Register
hereby resolves those referred questions.

I. Procedural Background
On January 24, 2008, the CRJs
published final royalty rates and terms
under the section 112(e) and 114
statutory licenses for the period 2007
through 2012 for preexisting satellite
digital audio radio services (‘‘SDARS
I’’). 73 FR 4080 (Jan. 24, 2008).1 In that
proceeding, the CRJs set a royalty rate as
a percentage of the ‘‘Gross Revenues’’ of
the satellite services. 73 FR at 4084. The
definition of ‘‘Gross Revenues’’ adopted
by the CRJs excluded several categories
of revenues received by satellite
services, such as revenues from
channels and programming that are
‘‘exempt from any license requirement
or [are] separately licensed,’’ and
revenues attributable to channels and
programming that are ‘‘offered for a
separate charge’’ and ‘‘use only
incidental performances of sound
recordings.’’ 73 FR at 4102; 37 CFR
382.11 (2008) (paragraph (3)(vi)(B) & (D)
of Gross Revenues definition).
On April 17, 2013, the CRJs adjusted
the royalty rates and terms for satellite
radio for the period 2013 through 2017
(‘‘SDARS II’’). 78 FR 23054 (Apr. 17,
2013) as modified, 78 FR 31842 (May,
28, 2013). In the course of that
proceeding, SoundExchange criticized
the manner in which Sirius XM had
been excluding revenues in reliance on
the SDARS I regulations, including its
practice of excluding revenues
attributable to sound recordings made
before February 15, 1972, which are
generally not subject to federal
copyright protection, and thus do not
fall within the section 112(e) and 114
1 The CRJs’ determination in SDARS I was
appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit. The court affirmed the
determination in all but one respect, remanding to
the CRJs the single matter of specifying a royalty for
the use of the section 112 statutory license.
SoundExchange, Inc. v. Librarian of Congress, 571
F.3d 1220 (D.C. Cir. 2009). That last issue was
resolved by the CRJs in further proceedings. 75 FR
5513 (Feb. 3, 2010).

Employment and Training Administration Program Year (PY) 2015
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Allotments; PY 2015
Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments and PY 2015 Workforce Information
Grants.
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces allotments for PY 2015 for WIOA Title
[[Page 25326]]
I Youth, Adults and Dislocated Worker Activities programs; final
allotments for Employment Service (ES) activities under the Wagner-
Peyser Act for PY 2015 and Workforce Information Grants allotments for
PY 2015.
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 2015, the Secretary is using the
transitional authority provided by WIOA in Section 503(b) to use the
discretionary formula rationale and methodology for allocating PY 2015
funds for the outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas,
Palau, and the Virgin Islands) that was published in the Federal
Register at 65 FR 8236 (Feb. 17, 2000). The formula that the Department
of Labor (Department) used for PY 2015 is the same formula used in PY
2014 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. The Department will implement a competitive grant
process for funding the outlying areas in PY 2016.
DATES: Comments on the formula used to allot funds to the outlying
areas must be received by June 3, 2015.
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 2015 for Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker
Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2015 final allotments, and PY 2015
Workforce Information Grant allotments. This notice provides
information on the amount of funds available during PY 2015 to States
with an approved WIA Title I and Wagner-Peyser Act Strategic Plan for
PY 2015, and information regarding allotments to the outlying areas.
On December 16, 2014, the Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235 was signed into law (``the
Act''). The Act, Division G, Title I, Section 107 of the Act allows the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to set aside up to 0.5 percent of most
operating funds. The evaluation provision is consistent with the
Federal government's priority on evidence-based policy and programming
and provides important 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. This year, 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 2015, the Secretary set aside .25 percent of the TES and
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.
We also have attached tables listing the PY 2015 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 2015 Wagner-Peyser Act final allotments
(Table D). We also have attached the PY 2015 Workforce Information
Grant table (Table E).
Youth Activities Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2015 for
WIOA Youth Activities totals $831,842,000. After reducing the
appropriation by $2,295,000 for evaluations, $829,547,000 is available
for Youth Activities. Table A includes a breakdown of the Youth
Activities program allotments for PY 2015 and provides a comparison of
these allotments to PY 2014 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 set aside), 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 set aside) minus 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 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. 1921 d (f)(1)(B)(iii). The Compact also specified
[[Page 25327]]
that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIA Title I funding.
See 48 U.S.C. 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). WIOA section 512(g)(1) updated the
Compact to refer to WIOA funding. The Consolidated and Further
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Division F, Title III, Section 306
of Pub. L. 113-235) authorized WIOA Title I funding to Palau through FY
2015.
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.
Using the transition authority provided in WIOA Section 503(b), ETA
will delay implementation of a competitive grant process for outlying
areas until PY 2016. For PY 2015, 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 number of
unemployed, a 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year share, a
$75,000 minimum, and a 130 percent stop-gain for the state for the
previous year). For the relative share calculation in PY 2015, the
Department continued to use the data obtained from the 2010 Census for
American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands, and
Virgin Islands. For Palau, the Department continued to use data from
Palau's 2005 Census.
After the Department calculated the amount for the outlying areas
and Native Americans, we determined that the amount available for PY
2015 allotments to the States is $815,061,036. This total amount was
below the required $1 billion threshold specified in WIOA section
127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV); therefore, the Department did not apply the WIOA
additional minimum provisions. Instead, as required by WIOA, the
Department used the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) (Pub. L. 97-
300), section 262(a)(3) (as amended by section 207 of the Job Training
Reform Amendments of 1992, Pub. L. 102-367) minimums of 90 percent
hold-harmless of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent
State minimum floor. 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 for the PY 2015 Youth Activities State formula allotments are:
(1) The average number of unemployed individuals for Areas of
Substantial Unemployment (ASUs) for the 12-month period, July 2013-June
2014;
(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.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the within-State Youth
Activities allocation formula, States should continue to use the data
made available by BLS (as described in LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-
14-22). For purposes of determining the number of economically
disadvantaged Youth for the statutory within-state allocation formula,
States should continue to use the special tabulations of ACS data made
available to them in 2013 and 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 2015 is $776,736,000.
After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,143,000 for evaluations,
$774,593,000 remains for Adult Activities, of which $772,656,517 is for
States and $1,936,483 is for outlying areas. Table B shows the PY 2015
Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a State by
State comparison of the PY 2015 allotments to PY 2014 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 set aside). As
discussed in the Youth Activities section above, in PY 2015 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
2015 allotments because the total amount available for the States was
below the $960 million threshold required for Adult Activities in WIOA
section 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV). Instead, as required by WIOA, the
Department calculated minimum allotments using the JTPA section
202(b)(2) (as amended by section 202 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. 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 economically disadvantaged
Adults (age 18 to 72, excluding college students in the workforce and
military).
As noted above, updated data for within-state ASU calculations is
available from BLS, and States should continue to use the economically
disadvantaged Adults data made available to States by the Department in
2013.
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments.
The amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker activities in PY 2015
totals $1,236,389,000. 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 $3,411,000 for
evaluations, a total of $1,232,978,000 remains available for Dislocated
Worker activities. The amount available for outlying areas is
$3,082,445, leaving $217,167,555 for the National Reserve and a total
of $1,012,728,000 available for States. Like the Adult program, Table C
shows the PY 2015 Dislocated Worker activities allotments and a by
State comparison of the PY 2015 allotments to PY 2014 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 set aside). As with the Youth and Adult funds, the
Department will not distribute the Dislocated Worker Activities funds
for grants to the outlying areas by competitive grant until PY 2016. In
PY 2015 the Department will use the same pro rata share as the areas
received for the PY 2015 WIOA Adult Activities program, the same
methodology used in PY 2014.
The three data factors required in WIOA for the PY 2015 Dislocated
Worker State formula allotments are:
[[Page 25328]]
(1) Number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, October
2013--September 2014;
(2) Number of excess unemployed, averages for the 12-month period,
October 2013--September 2014; and
(3) Number of long-term unemployed, averages for the 12-month
period, October 2013--September 2014.
Since the Dislocated Worker Activities formula has no floor amount
or hold-harmless provisions until PY 2016, funding changes for States
directly reflect the impact of changes in unemployment related data
listed above.
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for
PY 2015 for ES grants totals $664,184,000. After reducing the
appropriated amount by $1,784,000 for evaluations, a total of
$662,400,000 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 2015 formula allotments on
each State's share of calendar year 2014 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 BLS for
calendar year 2014. 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
$660,785,299 for States, as well as $1,614,701 for outlying areas.
Under section 7 of the Wagner-Peyser Act, ten 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 2015 funding for
Workforce Information Grants allotments to States is $32,000,000. The
allotment figures for each State are listed in Table E. Funds are
distributed by administrative formula, with a reserve of $176,800 for
Guam and the Virgin Islands. Guam and the 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 2014.
