AGENCY: This notice announces allotments for PY 2023 for WIOA Title I Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker Activities programs; allotments for Employment Service (ES) activities under the Wagner-Peyser Act for PY 2023 and the allotments of Workforce Information Grants to States for PY 2023. SUMMARY: The Department must receive comments on the formula used to allot funds to the Outlying Areas by May 22, 2023.

All overnight mail will be considered handdelivered and must be received at the designated place by the date specified above. Please be advised that there may be a delay between when the mail is delivered to the building and when the relevant person receives it. Comments: The Department will retain all comments on this notice and will release them upon request via email to any member of the public.

WIOA Youth Activities allotments Sara Hastings at (202) 693–3599; WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker Activities and ES allotments—Robert Kight at (202) 693–3937; Workforce Information Grant allotments—Donald Haughton at (202) 693–2784. If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7–1–1 to access telecommunications relay services. 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

OCS that legally define all leasing areas. The diagrams depict areal 
measurements and offshore boundaries and identify Federal and State 
jurisdiction for individual OCS leasing blocks. These OPDs and OPADs 
delineate the Submerged Lands Act boundaries and the limit of the
