References: Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended (29 U.S.C. 49); 20 CFR 652 and 20 CFR 653; JTPA Sections 202, 252, 262, 302, and 601, as amended by the Job Training Reform Amendments Act of 1992; Training and Employment Guidance Letters (TEGL) Nos. 4-88, 4-95, Change 1, and 2-97, Change 1. Background: The JTPA Titles II-A and III allotments, and the Wagner-Peyser Act preliminary planning estimates are for the program period July 1, 1999, through June 30, 2000. The Title II-B and II-C allotments are for the period April 1, 1999, through June 30, 2000. These allotments and preliminary planning estimates will be published in the Federal Register. The JTPA allotments and the Wagner-Peyser Act preliminary planning estimates are part of the Fiscal Year 1999 funds appropriated in the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1998, P.L. 105-277. These appropriations include $995,000,000 for Title II-A, the same as the PY 1998 Title II-A level; $871,000,000 for Title II-B, the same as the FY 1998 Title II-B level; $129,965,000 for Title II-C, the same as the PY 1998 Title II-C level; $1,405,510,000 for Title III, a 4.07 percent increase from PY 1998; and $761,735,000 for allotments to States under the Wagner-Peyser Act, the same as the PY 1998 level. For States which choose to fully or partially implement the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) during Program Year 1999, these allocations will be used to support activities authorized under that legislation with the exception noted below for Titles II-B and II-C. (NOTE: States must continue to operate under JTPA rules until their WIA plans have been approved.) As States implementing WIA during the upcoming program year make strategic decisions on how to approach the delivery of services, it will clearly not be business as usual. For example, the funding provided may call for different contracting decisions than have been the norm under JTPA. In States where Governors choose to wait until July 1, 2000, to implement WIA, these funds will continue to be used in accordance with JTPA rules. Transition guidance will be provided during this quarter. JTPA funds are provided through block grants to the States for employment and training programs. These allotments to States are based on formulas defined in the Act. Under Title II-A (Adult Training Program), States will receive $955 million for job training services for disadvantaged adults and others who face significant employment barriers. For 1999, Title II-B and Title II-C appropriations language allows the funds to be available for obligation on April 1, 1999. This early obligation will allow States to begin making expenditures in advance of the upcoming Summer Youth Employment and Training Program, as well as facilitate the move toward a consolidated youth funding stream. As in previous years, the appropriations bill contains the authority for Service Delivery Areas (SDAs), with approval of the Governor, to transfer up to 100% of the funds between the two youth programs.

Background. Due to changes in personnel, facilities and agency reorganizations, periodic updates of State agency contacts are necessary. States have provided the names, telephone numbers, facsimile (fax) numbers, and in some cases, E-mail addresses of individuals designated to respond to inquiries from other States about UC tax and TPS issues. This directory reflects information provided through December 1998 and replaces UIPL No. 05-98. Changes. Regional Office (RO) should be notified of directory changes. The RO will forward the changes to the UIS National Office for inclusion in the next directory update. Action Required. All SESAs are requested to ensure that a copy of the attached directory is made available to appropriate staff.
