§ 631.32   Allocation of funds by the Governor.

Of the funds allotted to the Governor by the Secretary under §§631.11 and 631.12 of this part:

(a) The Governor shall issue allocations to substate grantees, the sum of which shall be no less than 50 percent of the State's allotment (section 302(d)).

(b)(1) The Governor shall prescribe the formula to be used in issuing substate allocations required under paragraph (a) of this section to substate grantees.

(2) The formula prescribed pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall utilize the most appropriate information available to the Governor. In prescribing the formula, the Governor shall include (but need not be limited to) the following information:

(i) Insured unemployment data;

(ii) Unemployment concentrations;

(iii) Plant closing and mass layoff data;

(iv) Declining industries data;

(v) Farmer-rancher economic hardship data; and

(vi) Long-term unemployment data.

(3) The Governor may allow for an appropriate weight for each of the formula factors set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section. A weight of zero for any of the factors required in section 302(d) of the Act and identified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall only be made when a review of available data indicates that the factor is not relevant to determining the incidence of need for worker dislocation assistance within the State. The formula may be amended no more frequently than once each program year (section 302(d)).

(c) The Governor may reserve an amount equal to not more than 40 percent of the funds allotted to the State under §631.11 and §631.12 of this part for State activities and for discretionary allocations to substate grantees (section 302(c)(1)).

(d) The Governor may reserve an additional amount equal to not more than 10 percent of the funds allotted to the State under §631.11 of this part. The Governor shall allocate such funds, subject to the SJTCC or HRIC review and comment, during the first three quarters of the program year among substate grantees on the basis of need. Such funds shall be allocated to substate grantees and shall not be used for statewide activities. Such funds shall be included in each substate grantee's allocation for purposes of cost limitations, as described in §631.14 of this part (sections 302(c)(2) and 317(1)(B)).
