AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice.
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 WagnerPeyser 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.

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

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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:23 Apr 18, 2019
Jkt 247001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703

Department used the special tabulations
of ACS data available at https://
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).

Training Activities Allotments. The

16540
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 76 / Friday, April 19, 2019 / Notices
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 stateby-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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:23 Apr 18, 2019
Jkt 247001
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 WagnerPeyser 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
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 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) 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 WagnerPeyser 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.

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) determines that:
1. An alternative method of achieving
the result of such standard exists which
will at all times guarantee no less than
the same measure of protection afforded
the miners of such mine by such
standard; or
2. That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a
diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
44.10 and 44.11 establish the
requirements and procedures for filing
petitions for modification.
II. Petition for Modification
Docket Number: M–2019–001–M.
Petitioner: Genesis Alkali, LLC, 1801
Wewatta St., Suite 1000, Denver,
Colorado 80202.
Mine: Genesis Alkali @WESTVACO,
MSHA I.D. No. 48–00152, located in
Sweetwater County, Wyoming.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 57.22305
(Approved equipment (III mines)).
Modification Request: Petitioner seeks
to allow for the installation of one or
more submersible pumps at Westvaco
mine. The first pump would be installed
at Westvaco’s Extraction Well #5
(EW#5).
The petitioner states that:
(1) Westvaco is an underground trona
mine. Since 1988, underground tailings
disposal and secondary resource
recovery have been part of the mining
operation. Sections of mine workings
have been abandoned and flooded with
water/tailings. There is no access to
these areas by miners due to the
topography of the mine. As the tailings
dewater in the mine, the water becomes
a solution that recovers trona left by the
room and pillar mining techniques
employed in these abandoned areas.
(2) Petitioner plans to install
submersible pumps through wells from
the surface to access this impounded
trona-bearing liquor. The pumps will be
strategically placed in the
topographically lowest developments to
ensure a flooded condition. Westvaco
currently has monitor wells near these
areas which indicate the areas are
flooded with water completely. As
further assurance of flooded conditions,
the wells will be drilled through the
mine floor to countersink the pumps an
additional depth to ensure the pumps’
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
intakes and motors remain below the
mine floor. The pump motors, by
design, are positioned below the pump
intake to prevent the pump from drying
the hole out. Specifically, the pump
system’s design ensures that the
electrical components will be
submerged, preventing their exposure to
the mine’s ambient air.
(3) The proposed pump system at
Westvaco will be installed from the
surface. The pump system(s) will be
lowered underground via EW#5, into
the northwest area of Westvaco that is
permanently abandoned and has been
inactive for more than twenty years.
EW#5 is approximately 10,200 feet away
from the nearest hoist and travelway.
The distance between EW#5 and the
areas of Westvaco where miners will be
working and traveling is at least 15,000
feet, if not more.
(4) After the bore mining and longwall
operations in the northwest corner of
Westvaco had finished, petitioner
intentionally flooded that area in the
mid 1980s. By flooding that area,
petitioner can engage in liquid/solution
mining to recover trona from the gob.
The topography of the mine area allows
water levels in the flooded area to be
deep enough to ‘‘top out’’ against the
roof, effectively filling the entire region
of the abandoned mine area. Along with
this water barrier, petitioner installed
barricades (stoppings) on the flooded
area’s perimeter. The barricades are
comprised of 6″ x 8″ x 24″ wood blocks,
installed rib-to-rib and floor-to-roof.
Petitioner uses foam sealant around the
edges of each barricade. Therefore, there
are two physical designs—the wooden
blocks and the impoundment—to
prevent miners from accidentally or
intentionally accessing the permanently
abandoned area from the active longwall
and bore miner operations.
(5) The submersible pump systems
will be installed from the surface into
the permanently abandoned, flooded
areas. Westvaco miners will not be
involved in the extraction of the trona
solution because they cannot access the
area due to the water levels and the
barricades.
(6) The permanently abandoned area
at Westvaco is not ventilated; therefore,
the air current(s) at Westvaco do not
flow through the area. In addition, there
are several factors that would inhibit
any accumulated methane that was in
the abandoned area from entering the
fresh air current at Westvaco.
These factors are:
—The impounded area is unventilated,
meaning the airflow in that location
will fluctuate as a function of
temperature and pressures of the

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.
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 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 https://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.
