TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 16-08

TO:           ALL WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT SECTION 166 INDIAN AND
              NATIVE AMERICAN GRANTEES

FROM:         DOUGLAS F. SMALL /s/
              Deputy Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:      Guidance for Implementation of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
              Funding in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as
              required by Subtitle D, Section 166, Native American Programs

1. Purpose. On March 9, 2009, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA)
   emailed Indian and Native American grantees a letter and Modification Addendum
   regarding the availability and use of funds under the American Recovery and
   Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act), and stated that specific guidance
   would be forthcoming. Accordingly, the purpose of this Training and Employment
   Guidance Letter (TEGL) is to provide further policy guidance and direction
   regarding the Recovery Act funding for activities authorized under the WIA,
   Subtitle D, Section 166, Native American Programs. Through this guidance, ETA is
   also providing specific instructions about the requirements for Indian and Native
   American grantees to modify the currently approved two year plan. More
   specifically, this guidance provides policy on:

       •   The use of WIA, Section 166 Supplemental Youth Service Program (SYSP)
           funds provided in the Recovery Act
       •   The submission of a modification to the grantees’ current two SYSP plans,
           addressing how the additional funding will be utilized under the Recovery
           Act consistent with WIA subtitle D, Sec. 166 and the Recovery Act; and
       •   General program and financial reporting requirements under the Recovery
           Act

3. Background. The Recovery Act, enacted by Congress and signed into law by
   President Obama on February 17, 2009, is intended to preserve and create jobs,
   promote the nation’s economic recovery, and to assist those most impacted by the
   recession. The Indian and Native American Program (INA) program plays a pivotal
   role in helping Indian and Native American youth prepare for and find
   employment. The Recovery Act made available to ETA $1.2 billion for training and
   employment services for WIA Youth Activities. To allocate Recovery Act funds to
   INA grantees, ETA will reserve 1.5% of Recovery Act funds appropriated for youth
   activities to make available $17.82 million for the WIA Section 166, Indian and
   Native American Supplement Youth Service program. See Attachment A for
   individual grant allotments.

   In order for the INA grant community to meet both the letter and the spirit of the
   law and fulfill its critical role in U.S. economic recovery, it must implement the
   Recovery Act expeditiously and effectively, with full transparency and
   accountability for the expenditure of funds. The implementation of the Recovery
   Act should yield not only increased services and training for Indian and Native
   American youth, but also invigorate and advance prosperity in these indigenous
   communities.

   In general, the Recovery Act envisions a stronger workforce environment for youth,
   including Indian and Native Americans, in which they can easily transition between
   the labor market and further education and training in order to advance in their
   careers. Education and training should be closely aligned with jobs and
   employment opportunities available on or near reservations (or Oklahoma, Alaska
   Natives, and Native Hawaiians.) Every level of education and training should
   afford Indian and Native American youth the ability to advance in school or at
   work, with assessments and certifications articulated to the requirements of the next
   level of education and employment.

4. General Policy Guidelines. In utilizing the funding in the Recovery Act, the INA
   program grantees must ensure: 1) transparency and accountability in the use of
   Recovery Act funding; 2) timely expenditure of the funds and implementation of
   activities; and 3) that workforce information is used to guide strategic planning and
   service delivery.

                                          -3-

   The Recovery Act contains many provisions stressing transparency in the use of the
   funds provided in the Recovery Act. That is, the public will have access to how
   funding is being used and the outcomes of program activities. Updates regarding
   the accountability for Recovery Act funds will be posted on the Website
   www.recovery.gov. The modifications made to the INA program grants described
   in this guidance will be important sources of information to ensure the transparency
   and accountability of the workforce funds provided in the Recovery Act.

   Another guiding principle is the timely spending of funding and implementation of
   activities contained in the Recovery Act. The Act is intended to stimulate the
   nation’s economy and provide quick assistance to those impacted by the economic
   downturn. In turn, ETA is requiring INA grantees to move quickly and use the
   funding to provide youth access to the services they need to pursue education and
   employment. We strongly encourage grantees to use as much as possible of this
   funding during the summer of 2009. (See discussion under “Allowable Activities”
   below.)

   ETA expects that INA grantees will fully utilize the Recovery Act funding to
   substantially increase the number of youth served and expand summer employment
   or training services. To that end, the Recovery Act funding is to be spent
   concurrently with existing WIA Section 166, SYSP funding.

   Workforce information will be particularly critical as INA grantees seek to identify
   those businesses and sectors of the economy that are still in need of workers, even in
   the economic downturn, and those that will begin to grow as the economy recovers.
   Furthermore, the INA community should consider the value of working with State
   and local workforce investment areas to obtain information on how the Recovery
   Act is being implemented and utilize funding to assist the low-income, displaced
   and under-skilled, and disconnected youth population in their communities.

5. WIA Section 166 Native American Programs. As authorized by WIA section
   127(b)(1)(C)(i)(I), to allocate Recovery Act funds to INA grantees, ETA has reserved
   1.5% of the Recovery Act funds appropriated for youth activities to make available
   $17.82 million for the WIA Section 166 INA SYSP. Funds are allocated based on the
   PY 08 formula. See Attachment A.

      A. Allowable Activities:

      Except as otherwise stated in the Recovery Act or this and other applicable
      TEGLs, youth activities authorized under WIA Section 166 SYSP are allowable
      activities under the Recovery Act. Grantees should refer to 20 CFR Part 668,
      Subpart D – Supplemental Youth Services, for specific guidance regarding the
      proposed activities and requirements for operating this program. A significant
      change under the Recovery Act is that youth services are extended to individuals

                                   -4-

up to and including age 24. The Recovery Act also states that the work readiness
indicator described in WIA section 136(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) is the only measure of
performance used to assess the effectiveness of the summer youth programs
provided with the Recovery Act funds. The Recovery Act funds may not be used
by any State or local government, or any private entity, for any casino or other
gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, or swimming pool. A
complete list of the Recovery Act Assurances can be found in Attachment B.

While the Recovery Act does not limit the use of the Recovery Act funds for only
summer employment, the Congressional explanatory statement for the Recovery
Act states that “the conferees are particularly interested in these funds being
used to create summer employment opportunities for youth.” ETA strongly
encourages grantees to use as much of these funds as possible to operate
expanded summer youth employment opportunities during the summer of 2009,
and provide as many youth as possible with summer employment opportunities
and other work experiences while still ensuring that these summer employment
opportunities and work experiences are high quality. For purposes of the
Recovery Act funds, the period of “summer” will be from May 1 through
September 30. “Summer employment” may include any set of allowable WIA
Section 166 youth services that occur during the above referenced summer
months as long as it includes a work experience component.

ETA is also particularly interested in and encourages INA grantees to develop
work experiences and other activities that expose youth to opportunities in
“green” educational and career pathways, as well as opportunities to work in
registered apprenticeship programs. Additional guidance regarding
supplemental youth services can be found at 20 CFR 668.450.

B. Suggested Strategies:

Under the Recovery Act, the Indian and Native American community plays a
significant role in providing work experience and employment opportunities for
Indian and Native American youth. ETA encourages INA grantees to consider
these service delivery strategies as priority guidance for utilizing the Recovery
Act funds:

      1) Develop plans and strategies that target the use of WIA Section 166,
         SYSP Recovery Act funds on the services that most efficiently and
         effectively provide positive educational and employment outcomes for
         at-risk youth (e.g. out-of-school, high school dropouts, youth at-risk of
         dropping out of school, parenting teens, runaway and homeless youth,
         youth in-foster care or aging of foster care, youth with disabilities, and
         youth offenders.)

                                         -5-

             2) Incorporate culturally relevant training approaches, including
                mentorships, internships, placements at tribal colleges or at other
                training centers that develop academic, occupational, and literacy
                skills. In addition, INA SYSP grantees are encouraged to use on-the-
                job training as a mechanism for introducing youth job seekers to
                industries and jobs that employ “green” skills or technologies.

             3) ETA encourages INA program grantees to adhere to current workplace
                safety guidelines and applicable federal/state wage laws. For
                information and resources on safety and child labor laws, consult
                http://www.youthrules.dol.gov/about.htm and
                http://www.osha.gov/teens. Provisions for wages under the
                amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) apply to all youth
                participants employed under WIA. Current law specifies a minimum
                wage of $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and $7.25 per hour
                effective July 24, 2009. Depending on the facts, FLSA regulations may
                apply only to the workplace portion, and not to the classroom portion,
                of summer employment. Any hours spent in classroom training as
                part of a summer employment opportunity may or may not fall under
                the FLSA. (If you have questions regarding whether an individual is
                an employee, or whether an employee’s time spent in training is
                compensable, please contact the Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-4-
                USWAGE, or at http://www.dol.gov/esa/WHD.) INA summer
                youth service programs may provide wages or stipends to youth in a
                classroom-based component of a summer employment opportunity.
                INA programs should have a policy guiding the payment of
                classroom-based stipends and wages.

6. Priority of Service. Since the Recovery Act expanded the age range for
   participants in youth programs to 24, grantees may encounter an increased
   volume of veterans in the SYSP youth program. Veterans age 21-24 have a
   particularly high incidence of unemployment immediately upon discharge.
   Grantees are required to provide priority of service for veterans and eligible
   spouses pursuant to 20 CFR Part 1010, the regulations implementing priority of
   service for veterans and eligible spouses, in Department of Labor job training
   programs under the Jobs for Veterans Act, published at 73 Fed. Reg. 78132 on
   December 19, 2008.

7. Availability of Funds. The Recovery Act funding for all WIA youth funds is
   considered Program Year (PY) 2008 formula funding, and therefore, must be
   expended by June 30, 2011. While the Recovery Act does not mandate the use of the
   funds solely for summer employment, grantees are strongly encouraged to utilize
   this funding during the summer of 2009.

                                         -6-

8. Monitoring. Pursuant to WIA regulations 20 CFR 667.410, each recipient and its
   sub-recipient(s) of the Recovery Act funds must conduct regular oversight and
   monitoring of its activities in order to determine that expenditures have been made
   against the appropriate cost categories and within the cost limitations. Oversight
   and monitoring should determine whether or not there is compliance with
   programmatic, accountability, and transparency provisions of the Recovery Act and
   this TEGL, as well as the regular provisions of WIA, and its associated regulations
   and other applicable laws and regulations. The INA program office will provide
   technical assistance as necessary and appropriate. In the INA, SYSP plan
   modification amendment, the grantees must be able to demonstrate that there will
   be monitoring and oversight of the funds provided under the Recovery Act.

9. Reporting. Accountability guidelines provided by the Office of Management and
   Budget (OMB) for the Recovery Act emphasize data quality, streamlining data
   collection, and collection of information that shows measurable program outputs.
   As noted above, the Recovery Act states that a work readiness indicator must be
   used to assess the effectiveness of the summer youth programs. Final guidance on
   participant and performance reporting will be issued under the PY 2009 Program
   Guidance TEGL, which will be published within 30 days from the date of this
   announcement. Participants served during the PY 2009 youth summer program will
   be included in the Department of Labor’s (DOL) report on Recovery Act activities.

   ETA is separately developing reporting guidelines on how the Recovery Act funds
   will be monitored. To the extent that new information or reports are required for
   the Recovery Act activities, ETA will seek OMB clearance through the Paperwork
   Reduction Act process.

10. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The public reporting burden for this collection
    of information is estimated to average approximately (16) hours per response
    including time for gathering and maintaining the data needed to complete the
    required disclosure.

   This TEGL contains a new collection of information in the form of a grant
   application narrative specifically for the delivery of youth services and INA
   program grant management assurances required to receive a grant under the
   Recovery Act. According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13),
   no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such
   collection displays a valid OMB control number. The Department is planning to
   submit an Information Collection Request (ICR) to OMB requesting a new OMB
   Control Number. The Department notes that a Federal agency cannot conduct or
   sponsor a collection of information unless it is approved by OMB under the PRA,
   and displays a currently valid OMB control number, and the public is not required
   to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
   control number. See 44 U.S.C. § 3507. Also, notwithstanding any other provisions of

                                          -7-

   law, no person shall be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
   information if the collection of information does not display a currently valid OMB
   control number. See 44 U.S.C. § 3512. The Department will notify grantees of OMB's
   decision upon review of the Department’s ICR, including any changes that
   may result from this review process.

11. Action Requested. Grantees receiving WIA Section 166 INA summer youth
    funding under the Recovery Act are required to submit a modification to their
    current two year plan, which should describe the delivery of program services
    specific to Recovery Act funding. Grantees should address the following questions:

       • How will the grantee ensure that the Recovery Act funds are tracked
         separately?

       • What strategies will the grantee implement to provide employment and
         training opportunities to an increased number of youth participants year
         round and/or for the summer 2009 program?

       • How will the grantees address the employment and training needs of those
         participants ages 18-24?

       • Does the program currently have access to and use the SYSP Bear Tracks
         reporting system? If not, does the program have the capability to install the
         Bear Tracks reporting system?

       • Describe how the grantee will implement the veteran priority of service
         requirement?

       • How does the grantee intend to work with state or local WIA programs to
         leverage resources and access services made available by the Recovery Act
         funding?

       • How does the grantee intend to meet the transparency requirements of the
         Recovery Act?

       • How does the grantee intend to meet the other requirements listed under
         “Allowable Activities” (5A) and “Suggested Strategies” (5B) of this TEGL?

   Grantees should include their responses to these questions in the plan modification.
   Grantee plans are due no later than 30 days from the date of this announcement.
   Additionally, along with the plans, grantees must submit signed Recovery Act
   assurances, as contained in Attachment B.

ATTACHMENT B

                                              ASSURANCES

                  AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009
                                  (Recovery Act)

1. Grant Funds: These grant assurances addresses additional requirements applicable to funds
   appropriated in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA or the Recovery Act, P.L.
   111-5).

2. Purposes and Principles: In accordance with the intent of the Recovery Act, funds must be spent
   expeditiously and effectively, with full transparency and accountability in the expenditure of funds. The
   Recovery Act provides more than an injection of workforce development resources into communities in
   need across the country. The significant investment of stimulus funds presents an extraordinary and
   unique opportunity for the workforce system to accelerate its transformational efforts and demonstrate its
   full capacity to innovate and implement effective One-Stop service delivery strategies. As grantees plan
   how they will make immediate use of the Recovery Act funds, ETA encourages them to take an
   expansive view of how the funds can be integrated into transformational efforts to achieve a new level of
   effectiveness throughout the public workforce system. In this system, the needs of workers and
   employers are equally important in developing thriving communities where all citizens succeed and
   businesses prosper. Successful implementation of the Recovery Act includes quick and effective
   provision of services and training for workers in need. Grantees are advised that the Recovery Act funds
   are intended to supplement, not supplant, existing funds.

3. Limit on Funds: None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available in the Recovery Act may
   be used by any State or local government, or any private entity, for any casino or other gambling
   establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, or swimming pool.

4. DUNS/CCR: Grantees and their subrecipients (first tier) must have a Dun and Bradstreet Numbering
   System (DUNS) number (www.dnb.com) and must maintain active and current profiles in the Central
   Contractor Registration (CCR). (www.ccr.gov).

5. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards: Grantees agree to separately identify the expenditures
   for each grant award funded under the Recovery Act on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
   Awards (SEFA) and the Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) required by Office of Management and
   Budget Circular A-133, “Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations.” This
   identification on the SEFA and SF-SAC shall include the Federal award number, the Catalog of Federal
   Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number, and amount such that separate accountability and disclosure is
   provided for the Recovery Act funds by Federal award number consistent with the recipient reports
   required by the Recovery Act Section 1512(c).

6. Responsibilities for Informing Sub-recipients: Grantees agree to separately identify to each sub-
   recipient and document at the time of sub-award and at the time of disbursement of funds, the Federal
   award number, CFDA number, and amount of Recovery Act funds.

7. Reporting: Program Management and Financial Expenditure: Accountability guidelines for the
   Recovery Act emphasize data quality, streamlining data collection, and collection of information that
   shows measurable program outputs. The Act also emphasizes transparency and frequent

                                                   -2-
   communication with the American public about the nature of the Recovery Act investments.
   Accordingly, the Grantor is developing reporting guidelines that will minimize any new collection
   burdens yet provide timely accurate accounting of system performance and outcomes. Grantees shall
   collect and report information as conveyed in upcoming ARRA reporting instructions to be issued by
   the Grantor. NOTE: Recovery Act reports will be due 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter,
   starting with the quarter ending June 30, 2009.

8. Veterans’ Priority Provisions: NOTE: this provision applies to all PY 2008 funds in place of the
   version of the Veterans’ Priority Provisions clause in the original agreement. This program, funded by
   the U.S. Department of Labor is subject to the provisions of the “Jobs for Veterans Act” (JVA), Public
   Law 107-288 (38 USC 4215), as implemented by the Final Rule published on December 19, 2008 at 73
   Fed. Reg. 78132. The JVA provides priority of service to veterans and spouses of certain veterans for the
   receipt of employment, training, and placement services. The Planning Guidance (either the Stand-Alone
   Planning Guidance at 73 FR 72853 (December 1, 2008)) or the Unified Planning Guidance at 73 FR
   73730 (December 3, 2008 requires states to describe the policies and strategies in place to ensure,
   pursuant to the Jobs for Veterans Act and the regulations, that priority of service is provided to veterans
   (and certain spouses) who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements for all employment and training
   programs funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. In addition, the states are required to provide
   assurances that they will comply with the Veterans’ Priority Provisions established by the Jobs for

        submitted a false claim under the False Claims Act or has committed a criminal or civil violation of
        laws pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving
