FROM: EMILY STOVER DeROCCO
Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT: Use of National Emergency Grant (NEG) Funds Under the Workforce Investment Act, as Amended, to Support Activities Related to the 2005 Defense Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC 2005) Commission.

1. Purposes. To announce the availability of NEG funds to help states initiate early
community planning to ensure an effective workforce investment system response
to worker impact that may result from the closure and realignment actions as a

result of BRAC 2005 and to provide assistance for workers and spouses affected by
BRAC 2005 final actions.

Although this TEGL is being provided to all states, only those states that may be
affected (as evidenced by the announcement of the recommendations of the

Secretary of Defense on May 13, 2005) are eligible to apply for NEG funds for this
purpose.

3. Background. On January 26, 2004, the Department of Labor (DOL) issued a TEGL
that contained policies applying to NEG funds; on April 27, 2004, NEG application
procedures (which referenced and attached the NEG policy TEGL) were published
in the Federal Register and issued to the workforce investment system; on July 1, 2004,
DOL implemented the NEG electronic application system as part of the effort to
increase efficiency and accountability and shorten response time. The referenced
documents identified various types of applications, including “emergency”
applications and the Secretary’s authority to use NEG resources to approve other
types of projects “where it can be clearly demonstrated that such adjustments will

achieve a greater positive benefit for the workers and/or communities being assisted”
(20 CFR 671.170(b)(5)).

Defense Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990 (BRAC), as amended.

Pursuant to the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990, as amended, the
President has established the BRAC 2005 Commission to recommend to him the
military bases and installations that should be realigned or closed. In making its
recommendations to the President, the Commission conducts an extensive
evaluation and assessment of the base realignment and closure recommendations
provided by the Secretary of Defense. The BRAC process is used by the Department
of Defense (DoD) to reorganize its installation infrastructure to more efficiently and
effectively support its forces, increase operational readiness and facilitate new ways
of doing business. There have been four prior rounds of BRAC beginning in 1988. It

is anticipated that BRAC 2005 will build upon processes used in previous BRAC
rounds.

The Secretary of Defense formally announced his recommendations of military bases
and installations that should be closed or realigned on May 13, 2005, and these
recommendations have been forwarded to the Congressional defense committees

and the BRAC 2005 Commission. While it is not known whether the facilities
recommended by the Secretary for closure or realignment will remain on the final

list of military installations and bases to be closed or realigned, DoD has indicated

that in previous rounds, most of the Secretary of Defense’s recommendations were
sustained when the BRAC process was finalized. A listing of the affected bases, by

state, can be found at http://www.defenselink.mil/brac/pdf/Appendix_C_FinalUpdated.pdf.

As a result of the Secretary of Defense’s announcement, NEG funds will be available
to ensure that the impacted workers have early access to quality services that have
been coordinated with partners in the BRAC actions. The Department has reserved
PY 2004 NEG funds to plan for and assist workers and communities likely to be
impacted as a result of the 2005 round of BRAC, recognizing that a critical part of

”

effective services for the workers is early and comprehensive planning. Under the
framework of the policy and application procedures in place for the e-application
system, this TEGL describes the terms under which NEG funds can be requested
under the “emergency” application process, including any variances required to
accommodate both the e-application and the BRAC timeframe.

DOL is working collaboratively with other critical federal partners to respond to this
national event, including the Department of Defense’s Office of Economic
Adjustment Assistance (OEA) and the Department of Commerce’s Economic
Development Administration (EDA) concerning the planning and implementation
of BRAC 2005 to ensure that system resources at all levels are utilized to provide
optimal responses to the needs of individuals impacted by BRAC actions and to
promote economic stabilization and growth for impacted communities. Armed
services (Army, Navy and Air Force) representatives who are currently the conduit

with base commanders are also playing an important role in the collaboration of on-site activities.

4. Purpose of NEGs for Phase I Planning. National Emergency Grants (NEGs) are
discretionary grants awarded by the Secretary of Labor, pursuant to Section 173 of
WIA, as amended. Funds are awarded to provide employment and training
assistance for dislocated workers as authorized under WIA Section 173 and 20 CFR
part 671. NEGs are intended to temporarily expand service capacity at the state and
local levels by providing time-limited funding assistance in response to significant
dislocation events. Significant dislocation events are those that create a sudden need
for assistance that cannot reasonably be expected to be accommodated within the

on-going operations of the formula-funded Dislocated Worker program, including
the discretionary resources reserved at the state level.

NEG funds are generally made available through incremental funding. In order to
most effectively address the impact of BRAC 2005 closures and realignments on a
national scale, funds will be made available in two phases. Phase I planning grants
will be made available at this time to plan a comprehensive response to a BRAC
2005 closure or realignment as the basis to provide employment and training
assistance to affected workers under Phase II. It should be noted, however, that
Phase I funds may also be used to provide direct services to participants, if the
grantee’s request for such a modification is approved by the Grant Officer. The
remainder of the funds will be made available on an incremental basis to provide
employment and training assistance to affected workers, beginning around
November 2005 when BRAC 2005 actions are finalized. In order to obtain
supplemental funds for Phase II, grantees must submit a request by e-application as
outlined in the NEG application procedures.

DOL’s involvement and collaboration with DoD began with the first BRAC round in
1988. The level of DOL involvement increased substantially with BRAC rounds in
1993 and 1995, where DOL provided employment transition assistance to thousands
of civilian DoD employees and contractors. The experiences and evaluations of
those earlier rounds clearly demonstrate the value of early planning and
development to ensure that the communities, workers and businesses in the BRAC-impacted areas can adjust effectively and smoothly to base closures or realignments.

NEG funds are being made available to assist state workforce agencies and local
workforce investment boards (WIBs) in conducting comprehensive and integrated
locally-based planning in concert with other key decision makers and stakeholders,
in order to facilitate a quality, timely and effective system-wide response to meet the
needs of workers, communities and businesses directly or indirectly affected by the
BRAC 2005 actions. Studies of community actions taken as a result of previous
BRAC rounds have shown that communities which undertook effective and timely
planning successfully transitioned from a defense to a non-defense-based economy.
Therefore, the Department of Labor believes that the period between the Secretary of
Defense’s announced recommendations and the final decisions on the closings or
realignments is the most effective time to plan for the services necessary to assist
affected workers and communities.

Planning-Related Evaluation Studies. In order to build upon the experiences from
past rounds of BRAC and to enhance the quality of planning and assistance for
workers impacted by this round, staff who will be working on adjustment activities
are urged to review the conclusions of studies and evaluations that were conducted
following the round which began in 1995. Studies conducted by DoD and the
General Accountability Office (GAO) may be viewed at
http://www.defenselink.mil/brac/. The following Web sites contain reports

related to evaluations of demonstration projects focusing on services to BRAC-impacted workers:

Evaluations of employment-related assistance for workers affected by previous
BRAC rounds identified a number of successful efforts. These practices should be
reviewed to assist in the development of the local planning processes and initiatives
as the workforce investment system prepares for BRAC 2005. Key among them are:

(1) Strong local leadership with ties to key stakeholders and decision makers in the
community, including those in local government, economic development,
employment and training, education, the private sector, trade associations,
unions, and community and faith-based organizations.

(2) Active, collaborative transition committees that formulate clear, realistic goals.

(3) Use of employment and training resources to build on the existing capacity of
the community, including OEA and other funded community planning efforts.

(4) Effective and regular communication among planning partners and
participants to promptly identify and address any obstacles that arise.

(5) Hiring of workforce transition experts as consultants, as necessary, to help local
communities with planning efforts, and ensuring that planning bodies make
key decisions and oversee the work.

(6) Information-gathering activities based upon strategic plans with defined
objectives and with the purpose of obtaining high-quality information.

(7) Employment and training leadership which demonstrates to other planning
partners how linkages between workforce development and economic
development efforts help communities turn potential economic upheaval into a
unique opportunity for job growth.

5. Rapid Response Assistance. With the announcement by the Secretary of Defense
on May 13, 2005, of the bases and military installations planned to be affected by
BRAC 2005, state rapid response teams should commence contact with the
respective base commanders, as appropriate, to determine the assistance for
workers that is available through rapid response and to commence normal rapid-response planning activities in collaboration with local workforce investment
boards, chief elected officials, other DoD personnel and other stakeholders as
discussed in Section 6(d) and (e) of this TEGL.

6. General Requirements and Expectations. The information in this section of the
TEGL provides the requirements for accessing NEG funds to provide assistance to
dislocated workers affected by BRAC 2005 actions.


a. Award Limit. The Department has reserved NEG PY 2004 resources to begin
the planning phase for BRAC 2005-related emergency grants. At this time, it is
expected that no state will receive Phase I planning funds in excess of $1,000,000.
However, the amount of each individual award for planning activities will be
dependent upon the number and size of facilities likely to be impacted; the
expected complexity of the transition; the comprehensive nature of the activities
to be undertaken; the number of military or defense-related workers expected to
be impacted, the potential impact on the local community, including but not
limited to, secondarily-impacted businesses and enterprises and their workers;
and the capacity of the workforce investment system (including educational
institutions) to deal with the expected dislocations over the next two years.
These awards will be made in consultation with DoD, which may have
conducted some preliminary analyses on matters affecting services for workers
likely to be laid off or in need of retraining, as well as to ensure that NEG

resources do not duplicate DoD funds awarded to the same state or local
government.

Additional (supplemental) NEG funds may be requested in Program Year 2005
should state and/or local Dislocated Worker program funds be unavailable or
insufficient to meet the needs of the affected worker population, including those
secondarily impacted by the BRAC 2005 closures or realignments. All policies,
procedures, and guidelines pertaining to the application for and use of NEG

funds will apply, unless amended policies or guidelines are issued that are
specific to BRAC 2005, such as this TEGL.

b. Coordination of Available Funds, NEG planning funds awarded pursuant
to this TEGL must be used in conjunction with, and in addition to, resources at
the state and local levels for planning efforts supported by other federal
resources such as those provided by the OEA, EDA, the military installations
recommended by the Secretary of Defense for closure or realignment, and state
and locally directed economic development planning initiatives.

c. Objectives of NEG Planning Grants. It is expected that the use of the NEG
planning grants may include, but not be limited to, the following activities:

(1) Establishing transition committees or workgroups under the direction
of key stakeholders to develop plans and policies to respond to the needs

of workers (including secondary workers) expected to be impacted by
BRAC 2005.

(2) Establishing infrastructure, including additional staff resources
(including consultants), necessary to work with OEA and EDA state and
local planning efforts as part of the community adjustment initiatives
resulting from BRAC 2005.

(3) Participating with other community stakeholders in identifying and
developing plans to enhance, as appropriate, current and long-range
education capacity and other capacity to meet the training needs of the
workers.

(4) Setting clear and realistic goals for work and work products to be
achieved by the community group as part of the workers’ transition from
defense to private sector employment.

(5) Developing working agreements with key stakeholders.
(6) Developing processes and systems to serve the dislocated workers.

(7) Leveraging additional resources as part of the planning effort to
ensure that efforts can move from planning to implementation.

(8) Providing assistance in planning layoff prevention for businesses
which are base-related or base-dependent, where retooling or upgrading
current worker skills can lead to a shift in business focus, production or
market, leading to greater economic stability.

(9) Meeting other indigenous needs of a given community and the
affected workforce.

d. Types of Activities. At a minimum, activities that are expected to be
undertaken by state and local WIBs during the planning process are those which
will effect a fully integrated, demand-driven response to the transition needs of
the affected workforce during the implementation period of the BRAC process ---
from the date the final decisions on closures or realignments are made to the date
such closures or realignments occur. This period may last for an extended period
of time, and may vary from location to location. The results, as evidenced by the
systems put in place, should focus on ensuring that services are delivered in a
manner that prepares the worker for new demand employment while shortening
the period of unemployment, taking advantage of the time prior to layoff that

individuals are eligible to receive the fully array of services needed by each
worker.

e. Key Planning Collaborators. The planning to be undertaken under Phase I
of the NEG BRAC 2005 grants is expected to include the participation of state
officials, local chief elected officials, local WIBs, private and public sector
stakeholders, local representatives of OEA and EDA, and other entities involved
in the local base closure or realignment activities (including those identified by
local base commanders and other DoD officials).


7. Criteria for Submitting NEG Applications for BRAC Planning Grants. The
criteria for emergency NEG projects are found in Parts VI-VIII of the referenced
Federal Register Notice, 69 Fed. Reg. 23051, 23068-70 (April 27, 2004). Due to the
unique nature of employment-related activities that will be required by the
workforce investment system as a result of BRAC 2005, the following are areas of
differences or special factors relating to applying for NEG funds and operating
projects to assist those impacted by BRAC 2005. Any grants awarded as a result of
applications submitted pursuant to this notice may contain additional requirements
on the part of the grantee and/or project operators.

a. Eligible Applicants. All NEG BRAC 2005 applications must be submitted by
the Governor or the state agency authorized by the Governor to operate WIA
programs. This will enable states to use the planning funds to address the needs
of several military installations in a state, and/or move NEG funds around in a
state to respond to the needs of the workers in those areas that are most affected
by BRAC. The respective local WIB will be expected to be the project operator
for the affected military installation, as discussed below.

b. Qualifying states. In order to apply for funds under this notice,

(1) The state must have one or more military base(s) or installation(s)
identified for closure or realignment in the recommendations of the Secretary
of Defense; and

(2) If a base or installation being affected is geographically located in more
than one state, the application identifies the state that has been designated by
the affected states to serve as grantee for NEG funds (see paragraph (d)),
below; and

(3) The applicant state agrees to utilize NEG funds in conjunction with DoD

and/or Commerce (as applicable)-supported activities, but will not supplant
such activities.

c. Deadline for Submitting Application. In order to be considered for funding
under this TEGL, all applications must be submitted by June 10, 2005.

Additional NEG funds for BRAC closures and realignments may not be awarded
until the final BRAC listing is published circa November 2005.

d. Multi-state Areas. Should a single affected military installation cover more
than one state, the affected states must collaborate to designate a state to act as
the representative state. The application should be submitted by the
representative state. If selected for funding, the representative state must
determine how funds will flow to local areas in adjoining states — directly or
through the partner state’s designated agency. Although some of these


determinations may be made as a result of the planning grant, an agreement
must be made for the representative state to initially apply for funds.

e. Multi-local Areas. Should a single affected military installation cover more
than one local workforce investment area in a state (or adjoining states), the local
board for one single local area must ultimately be designated to be the project
operator for that installation, after appropriate consultation and agreement with
the affected local boards, as part of the planning process. The other local area
entities may be service providers, as agreed to by the affected local jurisdictions.

f. Grant Period. All funds for BRAC 2005 planning activities will be awarded
by June 30, 2005, through new NEG Grant Agreements, and generally it would
be expected that the Phase I activities and decisions will be completed by
December 31, 2005. Although the initial funding increment will be used for
planning (Phase 1), once a final decision has been made as to the Secretary of
Defense’s recommended closures and realignments, any supplemental funding
will be awarded primarily for employment and training services (Phase II), as

described in the fully-documented plan or modification request and as approved
by the Grant Officer.

g. Cost Limit for Administration. Awards made pursuant to this notice and the
administrative cost limit will be negotiated for each grant under 20 CFR
170(b)(2). As grants are modified to incorporate direct participant services, the
percentage of the cost for administration will be decreased accordingly, although

it is understood that the initial planning phase activities will be primarily
administration costs.

h. Limitations on the Use of Funds. All planning activities to be undertaken by
grants awarded as a result of this notice must be those identified in this notice or
otherwise permitted by WIA. No activities will be approved that are not
authorized by WIA, including those described in Sec. 181(d) and (e). Further, no
NEG funds awarded may be used as part of a local or state initiative to prepare
information or lobby to keep a military installation from being on the final BRAC

2005 list, nor will funds awarded under this announcement be used to replace
the use of rapid response funds.

i. Other Requirements. Except as specified herein, all NEG awards made under
this announcement will follow the requirements, policies and guidelines of the
documents cited under the “References” section, above.


8. Instructions for Submitting Planning Applications/Documents.

a. NEG BRAC 2005 applications must be submitted on the NEG electronic-application system in five phases. Except as noted below, the BRAC 2005
applications will follow the procedures for “emergency” applications as
described in the NEG Application Procedures, published April 27, 2004.

(1) Initially, a short electronic emergency military application will contain—

• SF 424 Application Form, with official signatory

• Project Synopsis Form (Attachment A shows how form should be
completed in order to meet the “edit check” requirements of the e-system)

• A brief narrative which outlines the types of planning activities that
will be undertaken, and that at a minimum includes —

• Base or military installation(s) for which planning will be
conducted;

• The nature of the types of collaboration and coordination
planned and the identities by agency / organization of the key
stakeholders to be involved, e.g., Mayor, County Commissioner,
Planning Board Director;

• Types of activities to be undertaken to evaluate and plan the
enhancement of the local capacity of area education and other
entities necessary to provide assistance to impacted workers;

• How employer surveys of expected impacted workers will be
conducted to help determine worker impact;

• Expected services to eligible dislocated workers under WIA Sec.
173 requirements for workers affected by BRAC 2005, as well as
other eligible dislocated workers;

• Preliminary assessments of the labor force impacts of expected
BRAC 2005-related layoffs (e.g., secondarily affected businesses
not covered under BRAC 2005 or related per se to defense
contractors);

• Level of funding that the state or local government has applied
for or received from DoD and/or Commerce, and how NEG
funds will supplement the activities being planned as a result of
those funds;

• Other collaborative initiatives being undertaken using prior
experiences with BRAC or evaluations of prior BRAC lessons;
and

• Initiatives planned to connect with economic development
strategies.

(2) Following an award, a fully-documented BRAC 2005 plan for Phase I
planning activities must be submitted to the Grant Officer by no later than
August 30, 2005, or at a date approved by the Grant Officer. Note: Any
anticipated equipment expenditures must be submitted to the Grant Officer
for approval prior to any expenditure and prior to submission of the fully-documented plan in August 2005.

(3) If there is not sufficient participant information available at the time the
“fully-documented” plan is submitted, a modification must be submitted as
soon as possible after the information is available, or as agreed to by the
Grant Officer to incorporate NEG planning data into the grant document.

DOL will provide instructions regarding this phase of the project once more
BRAC information is available.

(4) The project operating plan, pursuant to the NEG guidelines, must be
submitted to the appropriate Regional Office. The timeframe for this

transmittal will be included in the Grant Officer's letter regarding the fully-documented plan.

(5) Requests for other grant modifications, as appropriate.

9. Eligible Population. For Phase I planning purposes, the Secretary of Defense’s
announcement of installations being recommended for closure or realignment meets
the requirements of an announcement under WIA Sec. 101(9)(B). The definitions of
eligible dislocated workers who can access services funded by NEG BRAC projects

are those found at WIA Sec. 101(9), Sec. 101(10), Sec. 173(c)(2)(A)(ii) - (iv), and Sec.
173(c)(2)(B).

10. Reporting. In addition to the quarterly reporting requirements for all NEG projects
(Standard Forms 9104 and 9099), pursuant to 20 CFR 671.170(b)(4), a Monthly
Progress Report will be required to be submitted to the appropriate Regional
Administrator and to the Grant Officer, by e-mail beginning July 30, 2005, until the
planning phase is completed and the Phase II modification is submitted and
approved by the Grant Officer following the final decision on closures and
realignments. Each monthly report must contain, at a minimum—

• Accrued expenditures to date;

• Identification of a local WIB project operator and service providers, as
appropriate;


• Succinct summary of activities proposed in the application narrative as
well as others undertaken to date and status of those activities (e.g.,
committees established, goals of committees, membership, work plans
underway, status of products produced or decisions made, other concrete
results achieved;

• Any formal agreements or memoranda signed as a result of collaborations
undertaken;

• Challenges being encountered and resolutions achieved or pending; and

• Any other significant information pertaining to the activities being
undertaken.

11. Performance.

(a) The performance of the Phase I (planning) of these NEG BRAC grants will be
based upon the successes achieved in relation to the goals set by the state and
local WIBs/committees established, and approved by the Grant Officer, and
reported in the monthly progress reports.

(b) Once Phase II (operational/ workforce development services to participants) of
the NEG BRAC grants are approved by the Grant Officer, the project
performance will be based upon those indicators that apply to all NEG projects,
e.g., entered employment rate and wage replacement rate. When common

measures are implemented for NEGs, they will also be implemented for these
projects.

12. Summary. The NEG BRAC funds will be used to initiate planning for the workers
expected to be impacted by the base closings or realignments (Phase I) and to
supplement WIA formula funds to provide employment-related services for
workers (Phase II). It is imperative that the workforce investment system utilize the
approximate two-year window of opportunity to initiate assistance for workers who
are expected to be impacted by the base closures or realignments recommended by
the Secretary of Defense. Preliminary planning to implement this assistance needs
to involve the commanders of the installations on the BRAC 2005 list. Additional
guidance will be provided as the BRAC 2005 process unfolds.

13. Action Required. Please distribute this information to all applicable state and local
officials, including local workforce investment board chairs. In order to be
considered for funding, all applications for NEG BRAC planning funds requested
pursuant to this TEGL must be submitted on the electronic NEG application system
to DOL by no later than June 10, 2005.


14. Inquiries. All inquiries should be addressed to the appropriate Regional
Administrator.
