The Department is announcing WIOA allotments for PY 2023 for Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2023 allotments, and PY 2023 Workforce Information Grant allotments. This notice provides information on the amount of funds available during PY 2023 to states with an approved WIOA Combined or Unified State Plan, and information regarding allotments to the Outlying Areas. WIOA allotments for states and the state 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 2023, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 waives the competition requirement, and the Secretary is using the discretionary formula rationale and methodology for allocating PY 2023 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 2023 is the same formula used in PY 2022 and is described in the section on Youth Activities program allotments. The Department invites comments only on SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM 21APN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 77 / Friday, April 21, 2023 / Notices the formula used to allot funds to the Outlying Areas. On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, Public Law 117–328 was signed into law (‘‘the Act’’). The Act, division H, 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 2023, as authorized by the Act, the Department has set aside $10,408,000 of the Training and Employment Services (TES) and $2,556,500 of the State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services Operations (SUIESO) appropriations impacted in this FRN 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 2023 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 2023 Wagner-Peyser Act allotments (table D). We also have attached the PY 2023 Workforce Information Grant table (table E) and the total WIOA Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker funding for Outlying Areas (table F). Youth Activities Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2023 for WIOA Youth Activities totals $948,130,000. After reducing the appropriation by $3,629,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, $944,501,000 is available for Youth Activities. Table A includes a breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2023 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2022 Youth Activities allotments for all States and Outlying Areas. The WIOA Youth formula has a section in WIOA for a reservation for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker (MSFW) Youth if the appropriation exceeds $925,000,000. Per WIOA 127(a)(1), ETA reserved 4 percent ($925,200) of the excess amount for MSFW Youth. For the Native American Youth program, the total amount available is 1.5 percent of the total amount for Youth Activities (after set asides authorized by the Act) after the MSFW Youth reservation (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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:51 Apr 20, 2023 Jkt 259001 Activities (after set asides authorized by the Act) after the amount reserved for MSFW Youth and 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 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (division A, title XII, subtitle F, section 1259C(c) of Pub. L. 115–91) authorized WIOA title I funding to Palau through FY 2024. 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 2023, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 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 2023, 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 2023, the Department used updated data obtained from the 2020 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 updated data from Palau’s 2020 Census. The 2020 Island Areas Censuses (IAC) operation was impacted by the COVID–19 pandemic. While the enumeration was successful, the COVID–19 pandemic impacted the quality of the detailed social, economic, and housing characteristic data for American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Guidance is available at https://www2.census.gov/programssurveys/decennial/2020/technicaldocumentation/island-areas-tech-docs/ 2020-iac-guidance.pdf. Palau’s data was obtained from the 2021 Statistical Yearbook of the Republic of Palau available at https://www.palaugov.pw/ wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2021Statistical-Yearbook.pdf. The PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24631 Department will accept comments on this methodology. The Act additionally allows Outlying Areas to submit a single application according to the requirements established by the Secretary for a consolidated grant for Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker funds. Subject to approval of the grant application and other reporting requirements of the Secretary, the Act allows Outlying Areas receiving a consolidated grant to use those funds interchangeably between Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker programs or activities. Table F includes the total Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker funding for Outlying Areas. After the Department calculated the amount for the MSFW Youth, Outlying Areas and the Native American program, the amount available for PY 2023 allotments to the states is $927,098,608. 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. 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 2023 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 2021–June 2022 in each state compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in 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 unemployed individuals or ASU 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 2023. The Census Bureau collected the data used in the special tabulations for disadvantaged youth between January 1, 2016–December 31, 2020. For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities allotment formula, the Department continued to use the data made available by BLS (as E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM 21APN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 24632 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 77 / Friday, April 21, 2023 / Notices described in the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) Technical Memorandum No. S–22–13). For purposes of determining the number of disadvantaged youth, the Department used the special tabulations of ACS data available at: https://www.dol.gov/ agencies/eta/budget/formula/ disadvantagedyouthadults. ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2023 and will publish this information in a forthcoming TEGL. Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2023 is $885,649,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,724,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, $882,925,000 remains for Adult Activities, of which $880,717,687 is for states and $2,207,313 is for Outlying Areas. Table B shows the PY 2023 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2023 allotments to PY 2022 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 set asides authorized by the Act). As discussed in the Youth Activities section above, in PY 2023 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 2023 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. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:51 Apr 20, 2023 Jkt 259001 Worker activities in PY 2023 totals $1,421,412,000. 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, Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities, Community College Grants, and the Outlying Areas’ Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing the appropriated amount by $4,055,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, a total of $1,417,357,000 remains available for Dislocated Worker activities. The amount available for Outlying Areas is $3,543,393, leaving $321,550,607 for the National Reserve and a total of $1,092,263,000 available for states. Table C shows the PY 2023 Dislocated Worker activities allotments and a stateby-state comparison of the PY 2023 allotments to PY 2022 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 set asides authorized by the Act). Similar to Youth and Adult funds, instead of competition, in PY 2023 the Department will use the same pro rata share as the areas received for the PY 2023 WIOA Adult Activities program to distribute the Outlying Areas’ Dislocated Worker funds, the same methodology used in PY 2022. The Department will accept comments on this methodology. The three data factors required in WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(ii) for the PY 2023 Dislocated Worker state formula allotments are, summarized slightly, as follows: (1) Relative number of unemployed individuals in each state, compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in all states, for the 12month period, October 2021–September 2022; (2) Relative number of excess unemployed individuals in each state, compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all states, for the 12-month period, October 2021– September 2022; and (3) Relative number of long-term unemployed individuals in each state, compared to the total number of longterm unemployed individuals in all states, for the 12-month period, October 2021–September 2022. In PY 2023, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 prior year allotment percentage (stop gain). Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2023 for ES grants totals $680,052,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,520,500 for set asides authorized by the Act, $677,531,500 is available for ES grants. 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 2023 formula allotments on each state’s share of calendar year 2022 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 2022. 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 $675,879,914 for states, as well as $1,651,586 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 E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM 21APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 77 / Friday, April 21, 2023 / Notices 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. To provide services such as outreach to MSFWs, State Monitor Advocate (SMA) responsibilities, and others, State Workforce Agencies, (SWAs) must use Wagner-Peyser Act ES funding to provide employment services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW), which are described at 20 CFR 651, 653, 654, and 658. Workforce Information Grants Allotments. Total PY 2023 funding for Workforce Information Grants allotments to states is $32,000,000. After reducing the total by $36,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, $31,964,000 is available for Workforce Information Grants. Table E contains the allotment figures for each state and Outlying Area. The Department 24633 distributes the funds by administrative formula, with a reserve of $176,714 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Guam and the United States Virgin Islands allotment amounts are partially based on CLF data, which the Department updated this year with data from the 2020 Census. 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 2022.

Gina Porto Spiro, Acting Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary. Summary of Indonesia Infrastructure and Finance Compact MCC has signed a five-year, $649,000,000 Compact with the Government of Indonesia aimed at reducing poverty through economic growth. The Compact seeks to assist the Government of Indonesia in addressing a binding constraint to economic growth: costly and underdeveloped financial intermediation, by investing in needed infrastructure project preparation and structured finance solutions, and in increased access to finance for micro, small, and medium enterprises. The Compact aims to unlock financing flows in a way that will catalyze economic growth and leverage Indonesia’s own resources. The Compact will address this constraint through three projects: (1) Advancing Transport and Logistics Accessibility Services (ATLAS) Project; (2) Financial Markets Development Project (FMD) Project; (3) Access to Finance for Womenowned/Micro-, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME Finance) Project. Project Summaries The objective of the ATLAS Project is to improve transport planning and preparation in the target provinces, responding to the root cause of inadequate infrastructure project preparation. The project includes four activities: PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Transport Planning Reform Activity: This activity will develop two proof-of-concept multi-modal transport planning projects to influence the Government of Indonesia to embrace the necessary institutional, legal, and regulatory reforms required to mandate and mainstream a multi-modal transport planning approach. • Good Practice Infrastructure Projects Activity: This activity aims to support five infrastructure projects, which are intended to demonstrate innovative and strengthened approaches to project preparation, structuring and financing, and procurement and implementation, so that subnational governments endorse and promote Public Investment Management Guidelines principles. • Public Investment Management Guidelines (PIMG) Activity: This activity will create a public, online suite of Public Investment Management Guidelines for infrastructure, designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of public investment. • Project Preparation and Delivery Facility Activity: This activity will provide project preparation, structuring, procurement, and project delivery support to sub-national governments. The objective of the FMD Project is to reach financial close on transactions using structured finance, including participation by institutional investors and with a focus on local currency transactions, responding to the root causes of underdeveloped project financing market and capital markets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is announcing WIOA allotments 
for PY 2023 for Youth Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker 
Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2023 allotments, and PY 2023 Workforce 
Information Grant allotments. This notice provides information on the 
amount of funds available during PY 2023 to states with an approved 
WIOA Combined or Unified State Plan, and information regarding 
allotments to the Outlying Areas.
    WIOA allotments for states and the state 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 2023, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 waives 
the competition requirement, and the Secretary is using the 
discretionary formula rationale and methodology for allocating PY 2023 
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 
2023 is the same formula used in PY 2022 and is described in the 
section on Youth Activities program allotments. The Department invites 
comments only on

[[Page 24631]]

the formula used to allot funds to the Outlying Areas.
    On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, 
Public Law 117-328 was signed into law (``the Act''). The Act, division 
H, 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 2023, as 
authorized by the Act, the Department has set aside $10,408,000 of the 
Training and Employment Services (TES) and $2,556,500 of the State 
Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services Operations (SUIESO) 
appropriations impacted in this FRN 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 
2023 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 2023 Wagner-Peyser Act 
allotments (table D). We also have attached the PY 2023 Workforce 
Information Grant table (table E) and the total WIOA Youth, Adult and 
Dislocated Worker funding for Outlying Areas (table F).
    Youth Activities Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2023 for 
WIOA Youth Activities totals $948,130,000. After reducing the 
appropriation by $3,629,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, 
$944,501,000 is available for Youth Activities. Table A includes a 
breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2023 and 
provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2022 Youth Activities 
allotments for all States and Outlying Areas. The WIOA Youth formula 
has a section in WIOA for a reservation for Migrant and Seasonal 
Farmworker (MSFW) Youth if the appropriation exceeds $925,000,000. Per 
WIOA 127(a)(1), ETA reserved 4 percent ($925,200) of the excess amount 
for MSFW Youth. For the Native American Youth program, the total amount 
available is 1.5 percent of the total amount for Youth Activities 
(after set asides authorized by the Act) after the MSFW Youth 
reservation (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 set asides authorized 
by the Act) after the amount reserved for MSFW Youth and 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 National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (division A, title XII, subtitle 
F, section 1259C(c) of Pub. L. 115-91) authorized WIOA title I funding 
to Palau through FY 2024.
    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 2023, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 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 
2023, 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 2023, the Department used updated data obtained from 
the 2020 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 updated data from Palau's 2020 
Census. The 2020 Island Areas Censuses (IAC) operation was impacted by 
the COVID-19 pandemic. While the enumeration was successful, the COVID-
19 pandemic impacted the quality of the detailed social, economic, and 
housing characteristic data for American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands. Guidance is available at https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/2020/technical-documentation/island-areas-tech-docs/2020-iac-guidance.pdf. Palau's data was obtained from the 
2021 Statistical Yearbook of the Republic of Palau available at https://www.palaugov.pw/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2021-Statistical-Yearbook.pdf. The Department will accept comments on this methodology. 
The Act additionally allows Outlying Areas to submit a single 
application according to the requirements established by the Secretary 
for a consolidated grant for Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker funds. 
Subject to approval of the grant application and other reporting 
requirements of the Secretary, the Act allows Outlying Areas receiving 
a consolidated grant to use those funds interchangeably between Adult, 
Youth, and Dislocated Worker programs or activities. Table F includes 
the total Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker funding for Outlying 
Areas.
    After the Department calculated the amount for the MSFW Youth, 
Outlying Areas and the Native American program, the amount available 
for PY 2023 allotments to the states is $927,098,608. 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. 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 2023 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 2021-
June 2022 in each state compared to the total number of unemployed 
individuals in ASUs in 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 unemployed individuals or ASU 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 2023. The Census Bureau 
collected the data used in the special tabulations for disadvantaged 
youth between January 1, 2016-December 31, 2020.

    For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities allotment 
formula, the Department continued to use the data made available by BLS 
(as

[[Page 24632]]

described in the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) Technical 
Memorandum No. S-22-13). For purposes of determining the number of 
disadvantaged youth, the Department used the special tabulations of ACS 
data available at: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/budget/formula/disadvantagedyouthadults.
    ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2023 and will publish this 
information in a forthcoming TEGL.
    Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total 
appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2023 is $885,649,000. 
After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,724,000 for set asides 
authorized by the Act, $882,925,000 remains for Adult Activities, of 
which $880,717,687 is for states and $2,207,313 is for Outlying Areas. 
Table B shows the PY 2023 Adult Employment and Training Activities 
allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2023 allotments to 
PY 2022 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 set asides authorized by the 
Act). As discussed in the Youth Activities section above, in PY 2023 
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 2023 
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. 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 Worker activities in PY 2023 
totals $1,421,412,000. 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, Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities, 
Community College Grants, and the Outlying Areas' Dislocated Worker 
allotments. After reducing the appropriated amount by $4,055,000 for 
set asides authorized by the Act, a total of $1,417,357,000 remains 
available for Dislocated Worker activities. The amount available for 
Outlying Areas is $3,543,393, leaving $321,550,607 for the National 
Reserve and a total of $1,092,263,000 available for states. Table C 
shows the PY 2023 Dislocated Worker activities allotments and a state-
by-state comparison of the PY 2023 allotments to PY 2022 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 set asides 
authorized by the Act). Similar to Youth and Adult funds, instead of 
competition, in PY 2023 the Department will use the same pro rata share 
as the areas received for the PY 2023 WIOA Adult Activities program to 
distribute the Outlying Areas' Dislocated Worker funds, the same 
methodology used in PY 2022. The Department will accept comments on 
this methodology.
    The three data factors required in WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(ii) for 
the PY 2023 Dislocated Worker state formula allotments are, summarized 
slightly, as follows:
    (1) Relative number of unemployed individuals in each state, 
compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in all states, 
for the 12-month period, October 2021-September 2022;
    (2) Relative number of excess unemployed individuals in each state, 
compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all 
states, for the 12-month period, October 2021-September 2022; and
    (3) Relative number of long-term unemployed individuals in each 
state, compared to the total number of long-term unemployed individuals 
in all states, for the 12-month period, October 2021-September 2022.
    In PY 2023, 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).
    Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2023 
for ES grants totals $680,052,000. After reducing the appropriated 
amount by $2,520,500 for set asides authorized by the Act, $677,531,500 
is available for ES grants. 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 2023 formula allotments on 
each state's share of calendar year 2022 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 2022. 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 $675,879,914 for states, as well as 
$1,651,586 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

[[Page 24633]]

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.
    To provide services such as outreach to MSFWs, State Monitor 
Advocate (SMA) responsibilities, and others, State Workforce Agencies, 
(SWAs) must use Wagner-Peyser Act ES funding to provide employment 
services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW), which are 
described at 20 CFR 651, 653, 654, and 658.
    Workforce Information Grants Allotments. Total PY 2023 funding for 
Workforce Information Grants allotments to states is $32,000,000. After 
reducing the total by $36,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, 
$31,964,000 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 $176,714 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Guam 
and the United States Virgin Islands allotment amounts are partially 
based on CLF data, which the Department updated this year with data 
from the 2020 Census. 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 2022.
