SUBJECT:      Application Process for Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Section 503 Incentive
              Grants, Program Year (PY) 2006 Performance

1. Purpose. This guidance letter updates the procedures states should follow to apply for WIA
   Section 503 Incentive Grants based on PY 2006 performance.

2. References. Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) (Pub. L. 105-220) Sections 174, 211,

3. Background. Section 503 of the Workforce Investment Act provides for incentive grants to
   reward states for successful performance in workforce and education programs. The
   provisions authorizing funding for incentive grant awards are found in WIA Section
   174(b)(2)(D) for workforce investment services (29 U.S.C. 2919(b)(2)(D)) and the Adult
   Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) Section 211(a)(3) for adult education activities
   (20 U.S.C. 9211(a)(3)). A total of $9,968,489 appropriated for AEFLA is available for
   incentive grants based on PY 2006 performance.

   The Department of Labor regulations on incentive awards may be found at 20 CFR 666.200
   through 666.230.



 RESCISSIONS                                            EXPIRATION DATE
                                                        Continuing

4. Eligibility. The list of states eligible to receive incentive grant awards for PY 2006
   performance, and the amounts of the awards for which they are eligible, was published in the
   Federal Register on April 24, 2008. Eligibility for a Section 503 incentive grant award was
   determined by state performance under WIA Title I, AEFLA, and Perkins III programs.
   States that are eligible for incentive grant awards have 45 days from the April 24, 2008
   Federal Register notice (June 9, 2008) to submit their applications for these awards.

5. Amount of Incentive Awards. WIA Section 503(c)(1) sets the range of incentive grant
   awards from $750,000 to $3 million, depending upon the amount of appropriated funds
   available. If the amount available for grants is insufficient to award the minimum grant to
   each eligible state, the minimum and maximum grant amounts will be adjusted by a uniform
   percentage as required by WIA Section 503(c)(2). For the PY 2006 performance awards, the
   criterion for determining the amount of the incentive grant within this range will be the size
   of the state’s programs, as measured by the state’s relative share of the combined WIA Title
   I, AEFLA, and Perkins III formula grants awarded to that state.

6. Authorized Use of Funds. 20 CFR 666.210 authorizes the state to use its incentive grant
   award to carry out an innovative program consistent with the requirements of any one or
   more of the programs within Title I of WIA, AEFLA, or the Perkins IV Act. This provides
   states greater flexibility in using these funds, and the Governors and state agencies are not
   limited to only one type of innovative program.

    Incentive grant funds awarded to states will be identified as WIA Title V, Program Year
    2007 funds and must be expended by June 30, 2010. 1 Because this timeframe differs from
    the typical program timeframes used by AEFLA and Perkins IV programs, cooperation
    among state agencies to ensure timely expenditure of these funds is strongly encouraged.

    States may expend funds for activities authorized under the WIA Title I, AEFLA, and/or the
    Perkins IV Act. While DOL administrative provisions apply to the statutory life of the funds,
    the individual program provisions apply to the use of funds. For example, if the incentive
    funds will be used for a WIA Title I activity for youth services, the applicable program
    requirements for youth programs in 20 CFR 664 and WIA Title I would apply to that portion
    of the funds. If innovative Adult Education and Literacy and/or Perkins IV programs are
    planned, the provisions of the AEFLA and/or Perkins IV Act would apply to that portion of
    the funds.

    States are encouraged to plan activities that promote cooperation and collaboration among
    the agencies administering the WIA Title I, AEFLA, and Perkins IV programs. The
    Secretaries of Labor and Education encourage Governors and their state agency

 Typically, states would have three years to spend a Program Year’s funds. However, because incentive grants, taken from FY
2007 funds, will be awarded at the end of Program Year 2007, states will be given through June 30, 2010, to expend the funds.

representatives to take advantage of the broad flexibility Congress intended for these funds
by planning for activities that are:

       A. Innovative — Services and activities beyond those the state conducts with its
          regular funds from these programs, particularly activities that are authorized
          through more than one program.

       B. Comprehensive and coordinated — Combined activities and services that are
          authorized by different programs.

       C. Targeted to improving system performance — Activities that serve needs and
          populations that are likely to result in improving state systems of employment,
          training, and education, especially those linking to high-growth industries and
          occupations.

The U.S. economy and its labor markets are undergoing changes of historic proportion. In
February 2006, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) launched the Workforce
Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) Initiative, focusing on the role of
talent development in driving regional economic competitiveness, increased job growth, and
new opportunities for American workers. The WIRED framework
(http://www.doleta.gov/wired/files/WIRED_Fact_Sheet.pdf) focuses on talent, infrastructure
and investment. States should keep this transformational effort in mind when planning
activities funded by incentive grants. State Departments of Labor and Education can work
together to focus on workforce education and training projects that will facilitate innovative
workforce and education policies within a state to support talent development and maximize
opportunities for employment and life-long learning.

In planning activities for the use of these incentive funds within the context of an overall
talent development strategy, states are strongly encouraged to design and implement
activities that will target certain populations and connect them to opportunities aligned with
their regional strategies. These populations include, but are not limited to, Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients, single parents, out-of-school youth and
those formerly incarcerated. The ETA has made other investments through the Faith-Based
and Community Initiative (see www.dol.gov/cfbci) and Prisoner Reentry Initiative see
www.dol.gov/cfbci/reentry.htm and www.doleta.gov/PRI) to identify and assist these
underserved populations. States are encouraged to leverage any existing activities and
strategies from these investments in their states when planning activities for the use of the
incentive funds to connect these underserved individuals to talent development opportunities
available within their regional economies.

States may not use incentive funds for foreign travel. Incentive funds may be used for
allowable activities authorized under the substantive laws. The use of the funds must comply
with the administrative regulations in 20 CFR 667. This includes the prohibition against
foreign travel as prescribed in 20 CFR 667.264(b).

                                                4

7. Application Process. States that qualify must apply by sending an original and two copies
   of an application for an incentive grant to the Department of Labor, which will work with the
   Department of Education to review the applications (electronic transmissions are allowable
   as long as electronic signatures are included). The application may take the form of a letter
   from the Governor to DOL’s Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training
   (addresses are listed below), and must include the following:

   A. Assurances
      The application must include a Standard Form 424 (Application for Federal Assistance)
      and assurances that:

           1) The state legislature was consulted with respect to the development of the
              application.

           2) The application was approved by the Governor, the eligible agency for adult
              education (as defined in Section 203(4) of WIA (20 U.S.C. 9202(4))) and the state
              agency responsible for career and technical education programs (as defined in
              Section 3(12) of Perkins IV (20 U.S.C. 2302(12)).

           3) The state and the eligible agency, as appropriate, exceeded the state adjusted
              levels of performance for WIA Title I, the state adjusted levels of performance for
              AEFLA, and the state’s adjusted level of performance for Perkins III programs in
              PY 2006.

   B. Additional Information
      The state must provide a description of the planned use of incentive grants as part of the
      application process to ensure that the state’s planned activities are authorized under the
      WIA Title I, AEFLA, and/or Perkins IV Act, as required by WIA Section 503(a). When
      describing the planned activities in response to number 2, below, the state should note
      under which program the authorized activities fall.

       The other descriptive information (see numbers 3 and 4, below) about the state’s plan is
       requested for inclusion in the state’s incentive grant document. The Departments of
       Labor and Education will use this information in monitoring the use of incentive grants
       and in reports to Congress on state performance. (Note: The state’s receipt of an incentive
       grant is not contingent on this other descriptive information, but this information is
       required for the WIA Title V Grant Agreement.)

           1) Identify the state agency and contact person that will receive and administer the
              funds on behalf of all state agencies. The agency may be the state workforce
              agency or another state agency that receives funds under the AEFLA or Perkins
              IV grants. This agency will be responsible for reporting on the use of all funds. If
              agencies other than the grant recipient will be undertaking program activities with
              the funds, please identify the sub-grantee(s) and the amount(s) they will be
              provided.

                                                5

          2) Describe the planned activities. This information should include the statutory
             authority for the activity and a description of how the activities are innovative,
             comprehensive and coordinated, and targeted to improving system performance in
             accordance with the major objectives set forth in the state’s current WIA Strategic
             Plan, AEFLA State Plan, or Perkins IV State plan, as appropriate. Include
             information on how services build on, rather than duplicate, services offered
             under the state’s plans for WIA Title I, AEFLA, or Perkins IV. Describe how
             these funds are being used collaboratively with other partner programs to benefit
             service to clients, including the leveraging of any existing activities and strategies
             that exist in the state to connect underserved individuals to talent development
             opportunities available within their regional economies, as discussed in Section 6
             of this guidance.

          3) Describe ways in which the activities are related to improving performance levels
             on the state indicators of performance for each different activity planned. For
             example, describe how the activities will strengthen the state’s ability to improve
             literacy levels, increase employment, increase transitions to further education and
             training, and/or improve technical and academic skills.

          4) Describe any state consultation with stakeholder groups and the general public on
             the use of incentive award funds. States are encouraged to seek public input on
             the use of state incentive funding, including that of representatives of adult
             education, career and technical education programs, community-based and faith-
             based organizations, and other workforce system partners.

          5) Provide a completed set of the attached Standard Form 424(A) Budget Sections
             A, D and E only.

8. Action Required. As explained in 20 CFR 666.205(c), states will have 45 days from April
   24, 2008, which was the date of publication of the Federal Register notice announcing
   eligible states and incentive amounts, to submit the required application materials.
