SUBJECT: Application Instructions for Program Year (PY) 2006 Workforce
Information Core Products and Services Grants: Workforce Information
Formula Allocations to States
1. Purpose. To announce the grant application process and to transmit guidance for
the development and management of the PY 2006 Workforce Information Core
Products and Services Grant.
2. References. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; Wagner-Peyser Act, Sections
7(a)(3)(D), 7(d), and 15; Sections 111(d)(8) and 309 of the Workforce Investment Act

4. Background. America’s workplaces and economic landscape are changing rapidly
as global competition and technological innovation cause the restructuring and
transformation of industries and jobs. These dynamics have profound implications
for workforce and economic development policies and strategies. Broad-based
strategic partnerships are required to drive growth in state and regional economies.
Because talent development is a key pillar of economic competitiveness, the
workforce investment system must be a significant partner in formulating
economic development strategies and a catalyst for forming the necessary talent
development strategies.
There is widespread agreement that a 21st century workforce information system
must grow in scope and utility if it is to meet the information needs of customers.
Continuous analysis of economic indicators is essential. Systems for collecting,
analyzing, and communicating relevant workforce information must have a
sharper focus on state, local, and regional economic dynamics, the locus of
employment growth, and job skills requirements in order to drive talent
development strategies in support of economic development. To succeed in this
challenge, leaders and staff must be knowledgeable about the economy, current
and projected local labor markets, high-growth and high-demand industries, and
the skills needs of employers and the workforce.
To respond to these challenges, ETA has articulated its vision for a 21st century
workforce information system that drives economic competitiveness in state and
regional economies in a Workforce3 One Webinar. Recorded on March 23, 2006, the
”Workforce Information for the 21st Century Economy” Webinar can be viewed at
http://www.workforce3one.org. Section five (5) below provides highlights of the
vision and ETA’s goals, strategies, and expectations for the workforce information
system.
5. Workforce Information Goals and Strategies. ETA’s goal is to continue the
transformation to workforce information and services that support regional
economies. To achieve this goal, ETA expects states to:
• Participate in economic and workforce activities that are designed to identify and
exploit regional strengths and opportunities and address weaknesses;
• Develop workforce information and economic analyses for Workforce
Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) and other regional
economic development initiatives;
• Integrate workforce information and economic data into user friendly and
accessible tools, information, and products for use by workforce professionals in
providing career guidance and by students, adults, and workers of all ages to use
in making career decisions;
• Lead efforts to assure that economic development strategies are aligned with
economic and workforce assessments;
• Help economic development project teams address gaps identified in their
assessments and participate as catalysts in the development of implementation
strategies; and
• Help develop integrated economic development strategies, unifying workforce
and economic development systems, and connecting to other public and private
entities.
In addition to the workforce information routinely produced by the state
workforce agencies (SWAs), ETA expects that other relevant data sources will be
leveraged by grantees to expand the scope and enhance the utility of information
products and services. Examples of possible data sources are:
• Data collected by economic development agencies, trade and industry
associations, and Chambers of Commerce;
• Government sources: Department of Commerce, Census Bureau, the Bureau of
Economic Analysis, the Federal Reserve, etc.;
• Site selection subscription services;
• Private sector job boards, Manpower, Inc., Economy.com, Global Insights;
• Industry cluster data;
• Transportation infrastructure;
• Education assets;
• Patent data; and
• Federal and state research investments.
The requirements for the PY 2006 core products and services grants include
consultation between the grantees’ SWAs, state workforce investment boards
(SWIBs), local workforce investment boards (LWIBs), and other customer interest
groups in order to increase the scope and utility of workforce information, to
enhance career guidance strategies, and to satisfy the information needs of
workforce information customers.
6. Funding and Leveraging Resources. Funds are available to states for Program
Year 2006. Funds will be provided to states to produce, at a minimum, the core
information products and services required by Attachment III of this guidance and
for the development of other workforce information products and services which,
at a state’s discretion, might be required to support the state and local workforce
investment system.
A total of $33,180,000 is available for PY 2006 minus a 2.9 percent reserve of
$962,220 for postage and $177,323 allocated in total to Guam and the Virgin Islands.
The remaining amount of $32,040,457 is distributed by formula to states and to the
District of Columbia, with 40% distributed equally to all states and 60% distributed
based on each state’s relative share of the civilian labor force for the 12-month
period ending September 2005 (See Attachment I for the table of state allocations
and the allocation formula).
States are urged to collaborate with other data providers and to leverage resources
in order to expand their capacity to produce quality workforce information and
economic analysis and develop the foundation for improved products and services.
Many entities have expertise and resources that can be leveraged. Some examples
of leveraging resources are developing fee-for-service agreements with customer
organizations; obtaining matching funds from other organizations for a common
grant activity; or incorporating other organizations’ labor market or economic
information to enhance the scope and utility of workforce information.
SWAs, SWIBs, and LWIBs are encouraged to establish strategic partnerships with
economic development agencies, education and training institutions, business
groups, industry associations, and other public and private producers and
distributors of labor market and economic information in order to increase the
scope and utility of workforce information.
7. State Certification of Required Grant Deliverables. Submission of a state grant
plan narrative to ETA is not required for PY 2006. Instead, states are required to
submit a grant Statement of Work Certification (see Attachment IV) that all six
deliverables required by the grant Statement of Work Guidelines (see Attachment
III) will be accomplished during PY 2006. The Certification must be signed by the
SWA administrator and the chairperson of the SWIB or by the governor.
If circumstances prevent accomplishment of a specific grant deliverable(s) during
PY 2006, a deferral must be negotiated with the Regional Administrator including
the reasons for delay and a proposed completion date noted as an addendum to the
Statement of Work Certification. Planned grant activities and plan
accomplishments must be documented in the state’s grant file and those records
made accessible, per 29 CFR, Part 97.42(e)(1), for examination by ETA or other
authorized Federal representatives.
8. Accountability. The effectiveness of grantee performance will be assessed and
documented through the following approach:
a. ETA Grant Reviews. The ETA national and regional offices will conduct
periodic reviews of states’ progress towards meeting the PY 2006 certified grant
deliverables, the degree to which collaboration with the SWIB and economic
development community exists, and quarterly reviews of grant expenditures
and obligations.
b. Performance Reporting. ETA implemented common measures reporting and
revised reporting requirements in PY 2005. This included reporting on the
impact of workforce information services on participant outcomes. As of
July 1, 2005, states were required to capture a wide variety of workforce
information services provided to participants and to report the outcomes
achieved by participants who received workforce information services. States
began reporting the Entered Employment Rate, Employment Retention Rate
after Six Months, and Earnings for participants following receipt of workforce
information services.
ETA recognizes that implementation of the common measures and revised
reporting requirements have not been fully implemented and that this may
affect the outcomes reported thus far. In PY 2006, ETA will continue to monitor
the outcomes achieved by participants who received workforce information
services.
c. Consultation and Customer Satisfaction Assessment. Section 15 of the
Wagner- Peyser Act (WIA Section 309) requires states to consult with customers
about the usefulness of the information disseminated through the statewide
workforce information system. Consultation with the workforce investment
system provides the basis for formulating continuous improvement strategies
for workforce information. ETA is not prescribing an approach or
methodology for conducting customer consultations. Methods might include
focus groups, various types of surveys, documented consultations, or other
methods the state considers appropriate.
Assessments of customer satisfaction with grantee-provided products and
services are no longer a grant requirement. However, ETA encourages states to
continue conducting customer satisfaction assessments, if they provide insight
for better meeting customer demand.
d. Annual Performance Report. Grantees are required to submit an annual
performance report for the workforce information grant (29 CFR 97.40(b)(1)),
signed by both the SWA administrator and the SWIB chairperson, or the
governor, as specified in Attachment V, Section A. The report must include a
description of outcomes compared to certified grant deliverables, and where
appropriate, an explanation as to why a grant deliverable was not accomplished
and what will be done to ensure accomplishment.
The annual performance report must also include a summary of the results of
the grantee’s customer consultations regarding state workforce information
products and services and a summary of activities to be undertaken to add
customer value where needs for improvement are indicated. The report may
also include recommendations for consideration by ETA for changes and
improvements to the required grant deliverables.
Grantees must electronically submit the annual performance reports as a .pdf
file to the appropriate ETA regional office 90 days following the end of the
program year. ETA will post the annual performance reports on the ETA Web
site for the purpose of informing the system of overall grant performance.
9. Special Grant Requirements. Funds provided by this award may not be used to
supplant funds obligated from other funding sources for workforce information
activities.
All costs incurred under the grant must support the cost objectives specified in
Section 6 of this guidance and must conform to the principles for "reasonable" and
"allocable" costs as specified in OMB Circular A-87.
Any planned data collection activities must conform to technical standards and
methodologies established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or document, in the
state’s grant file, a sound business rationale for the use of an alternative
methodology.
Any information technology systems or applications developed with these funds
must adhere to industry-standard, open architecture principles with
documentation and software made available for use by other organizations for
Federal Government purposes.
10. Publications and Other Information Products. Grantees are required to submit
.pdf copies of the state economic analysis reports (Deliverable 3) and any special
studies and economic analyses (Deliverable 6) to the appropriate regional office.
Grantees are requested to submit hard or .pdf copies of publications and other
products produced with these grant funds that are considered to be of special
interest to the workforce investment system to the appropriate regional office.
Examples of products of special interest might be workforce information targeted
to the needs of specific customer groups, industry-specific research and analysis,
state brochures describing the availability and functionality of electronic, self-
service tools, documentation of innovative applications developed for database
access or manipulation, or innovative workforce information services available to
customers.
11. Grant Expenditure Period. The maximum expenditure period for these funds is
three years under the Wagner-Peyser Annual Funding Agreement. The grant will
cover, at a minimum, the 12-month period from July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2007, but
may, if negotiated between the state and the ETA regional office, cover a longer
period of time up to the maximum expenditure period ending June 30, 2009.
12. Grant Modifications. The grantee and the ETA regional office may jointly modify
planned expenditures, within the state allocation, during the grant period of
performance. The regional office has authority to recommend the reallocation of
grant funds to the ETA grant officer when overall grant expenditures and
obligations are substantially below quarterly budgeted forecasts.
In the event that the Secretary of Labor may be required to carry out other
responsibilities not anticipated in the plan, grantees may be requested to submit a
modification to the grant plan certification to carry out the additional
responsibilities.
13. Financial Management and Reporting. States are to forecast actual cash needs by
Program Year quarter on Standard Form (SF) 424A, Section D, for all quarters
covered by the grant. State workforce agencies will report quarterly expenditures
by direct data entry of the SF 269, Federal Cost Report, into the Web-based
Enterprise Business Support System (EBBS). Per 29 CFR 97.41(b)(4), quarterly
financial reports are due thirty (30) days following the end of each quarter.
Questions regarding financial management and reporting for PY 2006 or for any
existing prior year fund balances should be addressed to the appropriate ETA
regional office.
14. Action Required. Grant applications are due to the regional offices within 45 days
of the date of this guidance. A submission date later than 45 days may be
approved by the Regional Administrators. SWA administrators are requested to:
a. Immediately transmit these grant application instructions to the appropriate
SWA office and to the SWIB.
b. Submit the original and two (2) copies of the PY 2006 grant application
package with a transmittal letter signed by: (1) the SWA administrator and the
chairperson of the state WIB, or (2) the governor, to the appropriate ETA
regional office.
c. Include in the grant application package:
1. A Transmittal Letter
2. Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424)
3. Budget Plan (SF-424A, Section D only)
4. Statement of Work Certification
15. Inquiries. Questions on statement of work and grant requirements should be
directed to the appropriate ETA regional office. Grant and financial management
questions may be directed to the regional office or to Gwendolyn Baron-Simms at
(202) 693-3309 or to Fred Tello, Grant Officer, at (202) 693-3333.

Grant Procedures
A. Grant Agreement. The Wagner-Peyser Annual Funding Agreement covers the
Wagner-Peyser Base Grant and the Workforce Information Core Products and
Services Grants for FY 2006/PY 2006. The Annual Funding Agreement includes
Assurances and Certifications that apply to all grants covered by the Agreement.
Therefore, those Assurances and Certifications need not be submitted with the
Workforce Information Core Products and Services Grant application.
B. Grant Application. Grant applications are to be developed in accordance with
Attachments I through IV. The grant application must include a transmittal letter
signed by both the designated SWA administrator and the designated representative
of the State WIB, or the governor, a signed Application for Federal Assistance (SF-
424), Budget (SF-424A, Section D only) for all quarters covered by the state plan, and
a grant Statement of Work Certification. States are requested to submit the original
and two (2) copies of the complete grant package to the appropriate ETA Regional
Administrator within 45 days of the date of this guidance.
C. Grant Approval. Regional Administrators are responsible for final approval of the
grant and will issue an approval letter, with a copy of the approved grant package,
to the state and a copy of the approval letter and approved grant package to the
grant officer. A Notice of Obligation will be issued by the grant officer after the
receipt of the Regional Administrators approved grant application.
D. Grant Modifications. The grantee and ETA regional office may jointly modify
planned quarterly expenditures, within the state allocation, during the grant period
of performance. The regional office has authority to recommend funding
adjustments to the grant officer when overall grant expenditures are substantially
below quarterly budgeted forecasts in the approved SF- 424A. In the event the
Secretary of Labor is required to carry out other responsibilities not anticipated in
the plan, grantees may be required to modify the plan to carry out the additional
responsibilities.

Attachment III
Statement of Work Deliverables
Funds shall be used to produce deliverables one (1) through six (6) specified in this
Attachment III. The deliverables include the production of industry and occupational
employment projections, the population and maintenance of the Workforce Information
(formerly ALMIS) Database, and other economic and workforce information products
and services required to support the state, local, and regional workforce investment
system.
Grantees are required to produce all six deliverables with PY 2006 funding. Except for
deliverables one (1) and two (2), which are expected to be standard and comparable
across states (Workforce Information Database maintenance and enhancements and
Industry and Occupational Employment Projections), all other required deliverables
allow states flexibility to determine the relative priority of the product or service, the
content and form of the deliverable, and the level of investment that best meets the
states’ needs. States are required to consult with the SWIBs, LWIBs and other
stakeholder organizations in order to receive significant stakeholder input into the
development of the core products and services grant plans.
1) Continue to populate the Workforce Information (formerly ALMIS) Database
with state and local data.
The Workforce Information Database provides states with a common structure for
storing information in a single database in each state. The database is intended to
serve as the cornerstone for information delivery, workforce research, and product
development for information that is standard and comparable across all states. The
database, once populated, brings together critical workforce information from many
sources to promote better analysis and more sophisticated interpretation. Using the
same version of the database in all states is important for providing interstate access
to workforce information. Therefore, states are required to implement and maintain
the most current version of the Workforce Information Database and populate all
tables designated as core tables in accordance with guidelines issued by the Analyst
Resource Center (ARC). Database content must be updated timely in order to be as
current as the state’s most recent publications and data releases. Information and
technical support will be provided on the ARC Web site at:
http://www.almisdb.org. The listing of the current core data elements, i.e., those
elements that must be populated by all states, and associated tables may be found at
the same URL.
States are required to populate the database with the following licensing files:
license.dbf and licauth.dbf. Licensing data must be updated every two years. States
are required to submit licensing data through the National Crosswalk Service Center
(NCSC) for inclusion on http://www.CareerInfoNet.org. The licensed occupations
information on Career InfoNet has been recoded from OES to the O*NET/SOC
taxonomy. The NCSC will assist states in recoding their files to O*NET/SOC for
submittal to Career InfoNet, if necessary. States may access information and
support through the NCSC Web site at http://www.xwalkcenter.org or by calling
(515) 242-5034.
Now that the basic building and population of the Workforce Information Database
has been accomplished in all states, a major emphasis in states should be the full
utilization of this resource in meeting national, state, and local customer information
needs. At the national level, the focus will be on providing tools to states to help
them realize the full potential of the Workforce Information Database and related
resources. More guidance will be forthcoming from the ARC.
New and more effective methods are being developed for providing staff training
and information updates. Many materials will be provided electronically, and on-
site training requiring staff travel will be kept to a minimum. It is important that all
states take advantage of the resources and training opportunities provided. Funds
may be used for any costs required to update and maintain the database, including
staff training.
2) Produce and disseminate industry and occupational employment projections.
States are to continue producing and disseminating state and sub-state industry and
occupational employment projections, using the methodology, software tools and
guidelines developed by the Projections Workgroup and the Projections Managing
Partnership. In the case where a state uses another methodology, state officials
should document the methodology and state the reason for using an alternative
method in the state’s grant file.
The primary activity for PY 2006 will be the production of statewide short-term and
sub-state long-term projections. Sub-state long-term projections are to be developed
for the 2004 to 2014 period and statewide short-term projections for the 2006 to 2008
period. An inability to produce area and local projections must be documented in
the Statement of Work Certification and in the state’s grant file.
States are required to populate the Workforce Information Database with the
statewide 2006-2008 short-term projections and sub-state 2004-2014 long-term
projections data and submit the data for public dissemination following procedures
established by the Projections Workgroup and the Projections Managing
Partnership. The workgroup will provide states specific instructions for data
submission.
States are encouraged to participate in the various training opportunities provided
by the Projections Workgroup and the Projections Managing Partnership.
3) Publish an annual economic analysis report for the governor and the SWIB.
Funds are to be used to publish an annual, detailed state economic analysis report to
inform workforce development policy and investment determinations by the
governor, the SWIB, LWIBs, and other partners including community colleges,
economic development organizations, and other workforce development interest
groups. States are encouraged to expand the scope and depth of analyses by
including information, where relevant and based on needs identified through
customer consultation, from external, credible sources of workforce, labor market,
and economic information in addition to the workforce information routinely
produced by the state. To the extent available from the state or other sources, the
state analysis should include pertinent data and analyses of local and regional
economies.
Examples of other possible information sources include data collected by economic
development agencies, trade and industry associations, chambers of commerce,
private sector research organizations, universities, and other government agencies.
States are required to footnote and clearly reference the information sources used in
the annual economic analysis report. ETA will provide technical assistance to states
in accessing and incorporating information from non-state sources through Webinar
training and presentations.
4) Post products, information, and reports on the Internet.
States are required to post grant produced products, reports, including deliverables
three (3) and six (6), and other workforce information on the Web or disseminate the
information through other electronic media to facilitate use by the workforce
investment system, including partners, researchers, and other allied agencies.
5) Partner and consult on a continuing basis with workforce investment boards.
Grantees are required to partner and consult on a continuing basis with the SWIB
and LWIBs in order to identify and provide needed information support for
workforce investment strategic planning and response to rapidly changing economic
conditions and state and local initiatives. The needs identified through such
consultations must be documented in the grant file.
6) Conduct special studies and economic analyses.
When needed, states shall conduct special state, local, or sub-state regional studies
and economic analyses to provide information support for communities in economic
transition, state and sub-state workforce development initiatives, and responses to
major layoffs or disasters.
