Notice on Reallotment of Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act 
(WIOA) Title I Formula Allotted Funds for Dislocated Worker Activities 
for Program Year (PY) 2016

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), requires the 
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to conduct reallotment of certain WIOA 
formula allotted funds based on ETA 9130 financial reports submitted by 
states as of the end of the prior program year (PY). This notice 
publishes the dislocated worker PY 2016 funds for recapture by state 
and the amount to be reallotted to eligible states.

DATES: This notice is effective April 5, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Amanda Ahlstrand, Administrator, 
U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workforce Investment, Employment 
and Training Administration, Room C-4526, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC. Telephone (202) 693-3052 (this is not a toll-free 
number) or fax (202) 693-3981.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Appropriations 
Act, Congress appropriated WIOA PY 2016 funds in two portions: (1) 
Funds available for obligation July 1, 2016 (i.e., PY 2016 ``base'' 
funds), and (2) funds available for obligation October 1, 2016 (i.e., 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 ``advance'' funds). Together, these two portions 
make up the complete PY 2016 WIOA funding. Training and Employment 
Guidance Letter No. 17-15 announced WIOA allotments based on this 
appropriation and alerted states to the recapture and reallotment of 
funds' provisions, as required under WIOA Section 132(c). This section 
of WIOA requires the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to conduct 
reallotment of excess unobligated WIOA Adult, Youth, and Dislocated 
Worker formula funds based on ETA 9130 financial reports submitted by 
states at the end of the prior program year (i.e., PY 2015).
    WIOA regulations at 20 CFR 693.135 describe the procedures the 
Secretary uses for recapture and reallotment of funds. ETA will not 
recapture any PY 2016 funds for the Adult and Youth programs because 
there are no states where PY 2015 unobligated funds exceed the 
statutory requirements of 20 percent of state allotted funds. However, 
for the Dislocated Worker program, Kentucky had unobligated PY 2015 
funds in excess of 20 percent of its allotment. Therefore, ETA will 
recapture a total of $805,082 of PY 2016 funding from Kentucky and 
reallot those funds to the remaining eligible states, as required by 
WIOA Section 132(c).
    ETA will issue a Notice of Award to the states to reflect the 
recapture and reallotment of these funds. The adjustment of funds will 
be made to the FY 2017 advance portion of the PY 2016 allotments, which 
ETA issued in October 2016. The attached tables display the net changes 
to PY 2016 formula allotments and a description of the reallotment 
methodology.
    WIOA and its implementing regulations do not provide specific 
requirements by which states must distribute realloted funds, so states 
have flexibility to determine the methodology used.
    For any state subject to recapture of funds, WIOA Section 132(c)(5) 
requires the Governor to prescribe equitable procedures for reacquiring 
funds from the state and local areas.
    As mentioned, the recapture/reallotment adjustments will be made to 
the FY 2017 advance portion of the PY 2016 allotment. Therefore, for 
reporting purposes, states must reflect the recapture/reallotment 
amount (decrease or increase) in the ``Total Federal Funds Authorized'' 
line of any affected FY 2017 ETA 9130 financial reports (State 
Dislocated Worker Activities, Statewide Rapid Response, Local 
Dislocated Worker Activities) in a manner consistent with the method of 
distribution of these amounts to state and local areas used by the 
state. The state must include an explanation of the

adjustment in the remarks section of the adjusted reports.

Dislocated Worker (DW) State Formula PY 2016 Reallotment Methodology

    Reallotment Summary: This year the Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) analyzed Dislocated Worker ETA 9130 financial 
reports from the June 30, 2016 reporting period for funds provided to 
states in PY 2015, to determine if any state had unobligated funds in 
excess of 20 percent of their PY 2015 allotment amount. If so, ETA will 
recapture that amount from PY 2016 funds and reallot the recaptured 
funds among eligible states.
     Source Data: ETA 9130 financial reports.
     Programs: State Dislocated Worker, Statewide Rapid 
Response, Local Dislocated Worker.
     Period: June 30, 2016.
     Years covered: PY 2015 and FY 2016.

Reallotment Calculation Process

    1. Determine each state's unobligated balance: ETA computes the 
state's total amount of PY 2015 state obligations (including FY 2016 
funds) for the DW program. State obligations are the sum of DW 
statewide activities obligations, Statewide Rapid Response obligations, 
and 100 percent of what the state authorizes for DW local activities 
(which includes program and administrative funds). To determine the

[[Page 16627]]

unobligated balance for the DW program, ETA subtracts the total DW 
obligations amount from the state's total PY 2015 DW allotment (Note: 
for this process, ETA adds DW allotted funds transferred to the Navajo 
Nation back to Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah local DW authorized 
amounts).
    2. Excluding state administrative costs: Section 683.135 of the 
regulations provides that the recapture calculations exclude the 
reserve for state administration which is part of the DW statewide 
activities. States do not report data on state administrative amounts 
authorized and obligated on the ETA 9130 financial reports. In the 
preliminary calculation, to determine states potentially liable for 
recapture, ETA estimates the DW portion of the state administrative 
amount authorized by calculating the five percent maximum amount for 
state DW administrative costs using the DW state allotment amounts 
(excluding any recapture/reallotment that occurred). ETA treats 100 
percent of the state's estimated amount authorized for administration 
as obligated, although the estimate of state administration obligations 
is limited by reported statewide activities obligations overall.
    3. Follow-up with states potentially liable for recapture: ETA 
requests that those states potentially liable for recapture provide 
additional data on state administrative amounts which are not regularly 
reported on the PY 2015 and FY 2016 statewide activities reports. The 
additional information requested includes the amount of statewide 
activities funds the state authorized and obligated for state 
administration as of June 30, 2016. If a state provides actual state DW 
administrative costs, authorized and obligated, in the comments section 
of revised ETA 9130 reports, this data replaces the estimates. Based on 
the requested actual data submitted by potentially liable states on 
revised reports, ETA reduces the DW total allotment for these states by 
the amount states indicate they authorized for state administrative 
costs. Likewise, ETA reduces the DW total obligations for these states 
by the portion actually obligated for state administration.
    4. Recapture calculation: States (including those adjusted by 
actual state administrative data) with unobligated balances exceeding 
20 percent of the total PY 2015 DW allotment amount (including PY 2015 
``base'' funds and FY 2016 ``advance'' funds) will have their PY 2016 
DW funding (from the FY 2017 ``advance'' portion) reduced (recaptured) 
by the amount of the excess.
    5. Reallotment calculation: Finally, states with unobligated 
balances which do not exceed 20 percent (eligible states) will receive 
a share of the total recaptured amount (based on their share of the 
total PY 2015 (including their PY 2015 ``base'' and FY 2016 ``advance'' 
amount DW allotments) in their PY 2016 DW funding (in the FY 2017 
``advance'' portion).
