The new act revitalizes the Nation’s job training system to provide workers with the information, advice, job search assistance, and training they need to get and keep good jobs, and provides employers with skilled workers. Adult employment and training activities.—Grants to provide financial assistance to States and territories to design and operate training programs for adults, including low-income individuals and public assistance recipients. Dislocated worker employment and training activities.— Grants to provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals dislocated from their employment. Also included in this activity is funding for competitive grants for dislocated worker employment and training activities, to be financed through fees paid by employers for the certification of certain aliens as eligible workers under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Youth activities.—WIA replaces the former JTPA Youth Training Grants and Summer Youth Employment and Training Programs with a single funding stream to support a wide range of activities and services to prepare low-income youth for academic and employment success, including summer jobs. The new youth program links academic and occupational learning with youth development activities. Youth opportunity grants.—Grants to increase the long-term employment of youth who live in empowerment zones, enterprise communities, and similar high poverty areas. Beginning in FY 2000, this activity will include funding for the new Rewarding Achievement in Youth program for competitive grants to high poverty areas to provide low income youth with extended summer employment opportunities and endof-summer bonuses for high academic achievement and job performance. School-to-work opportunities.—Grants to States and localities, jointly administered by the Departments of Labor and Education, to build systems that provide youth with the knowledge and skills necessary to make an effective transition from school to careers through work-based learning, schoolbased education, and connecting activities. Job Corps.—A system of primarily residential centers offering basic education, training, work experience, and other support to economically disadvantaged youth typically. Native Americans.—Grants to Indian tribes and other Native American groups to provide training, work experience, and other employment-related services to Native Americans. Migrant and seasonal farmworkers.—Grants to public agencies and nonprofit groups to provide training and other employability development services to economically disadvantaged youth and families whose principal livelihood is gained in migratory and other forms of seasonal farmwork. Veterans workforce investment programs.—Grants or contracts to provide disabled, Vietnam-era, and recently separated veterans with programs to meet their unique employment and training needs. National programs.—Provides program support for WIA activities and nationally administered programs for segments of the population that have special disadvantages in the labor market. Beginning in FY 2000, this activity will include funding for the new Right Track Partnerships program of competitive grants to local workforce investment boards to assist low income out-of-school youth and youth who require addi- EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued DEPARTMENT OF LABOR tional assistance to complete an educational program. Services may include tutoring, mentoring, counseling, jobs and job training to prevent youth from dropping out of school, encourage those who have already dropped out to return to school, and encourage school completion. In addition, a new demonstration program of grants to regional and local entities to provide technical skills training for unemployed and incumbent workers will be initiated in FY 1999 and supported by fees paid by employers applying for foreign workers under the H–1b temporary alien labor certification program. This program is authorized by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998.

The fee proceeds will offset the costs of administering and enforcing the alien labor program, and provide reemployment and training assistance to U.S. workers who have been dislocated from their jobs. The additional proviso to be included in appropriation language is being proposed in anticipation of the enactment of authorizing legislation. If the authorizing legislation is enacted, the proviso will reduce the amounts available under the Training and Employment Services heading so that total resources will not exceed the amount allowed under the discretionary spending caps. The proviso allows agencies to spend whatever user fees are collected, possibly more or possibly less than the estimates in the schedule or the specified reduction in Training and Employment Services expenditures. 155 99.9 86.97 669 5,410 25.5 31.0 41.0 92.0 99.0 99.0 11.1 11.3 11.5 11.9 12.1 21.0 22.0 23.3 Object Classification (in millions of dollars) Identification code 16–0174–2–1–504 41.0 99.0 99.9 4,780 91 52 4,951 98 58 5,254 98 58 AND 00.01 00.02 00.03 21.40 22.00 Program and Financing (in millions of dollars) Identification code 16–0174–2–1–504 00.02 09.00 10.00 1998 actual 1999 est.

As part of the consolidation, the proposed legislation would extend eligibility for TAA to those who lose their jobs due to shifts in production abroad, similar to the current provision under NAFTATAA for shifts in production to Canada and Mexico. The legislative cap on TAA training expenditures would be raised to support the expected increase in program participants. The consolidated program would harmonize existing requirements linking training and income support and would provide supportive services as needed. Finally, the proposed legislation would create a contingency funding provision to assure that resources are available to pay for any unexpected increase in benefits costs for eligible workers. The funds requested in the appropriations language for the Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances account do not cover the extension of NAFTA-TAA and the legislative reforms. Once the proposed legislation has been enacted, the Administration will submit modified appropriations language. 672 EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000 22.00 22.21 General and special funds—Continued STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OPERATIONS For authorized administrative expenses, ø$162,097,000¿ $232,452,000, together with not to exceed ø$3,132,076,000¿ $3,183,321,000 (including not to exceed $1,228,000 which may be used for amortization payments to States which had independent retirement plans in their State employment service agencies prior to 1980), which may be expended from the Employment Security Administration account in the Unemployment Trust Fund including the cost of administering section 1201 of the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, section 7(d) of the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended, øsection 461 of the Job Training Partnership Act,¿ the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, øthe Immigration Act of 1990, and the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended,¿ and of which the sums available in the allocation for activities authorized by title III of the Social Security Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 502–504), and the sums available in the allocation for necessary administrative expenses for carrying out 5 U.S.C. 8501–8523, shall be available for obligation by the States through December 31, ø1999¿ 2000, except that funds used for automation acquisitions shall be available for obligation by the States through September 30, ø2001¿ 2002; and of which ø$162,097,000¿ $222,452,000, together with not to exceed ø$746,138,000¿ $791,283,000 of the amount which may be expended from said trust fund, shall be available for obligation for the period July 1, ø1999¿ 2000 through June 30, ø2000¿ 2001, to fund activities under the Act of June 6, 1933, as amended, including the cost of penalty mail authorized under 39 U.S.C. 3202(a)(1)(E) made available to States in lieu of allotments for such purpose, and of which ø$180,933,000¿ $196,333,000 shall be available only to the extent necessary for additional State allocations to administer unemployment compensation laws to finance increases in the number of unemployment insurance claims filed and claims paid or changes in a State law: Provided, That to the extent that the Average Weekly Insured Unemployment (AWIU) for fiscal year ø1999¿ 2000 is projected by the Department of Labor to exceed ø2,629,000¿ 2,638,000, an additional $28,600,000 shall be available for obligation for every 100,000 increase in the AWIU level (including a pro rata amount for any increment less than 100,000) from the Employment Security Administration Account of the Unemployment Trust Fund: Provided further, That funds appropriated in this Act which are used to establish a national one-stop career center network may be obligated in contracts, grants or agreements with non-State entities: Provided further, That funds appropriated under this Act for activities authorized under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended, and title III of the Social Security Act, may be used by the States to fund integrated Employment Service and Unemployment Insurance automation efforts, notwithstanding cost allocation principles prescribed under Office of Management and Budget Circular A–87.

These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former Federal personnel as well as trade adjustment assistance to eligible individuals. State administration amounts also provide administrative grants to State agencies to improve the integrity and financial stability of the unemployment compensation program through a comprehensive program, UI Performs, to effect continuous improvement in State performance and related activities designed to assess and reduce errors and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in the payment of unemployment compensation benefits and the collection of unemployment taxes. National activities relating to the Federal-State unemployment insurance programs are conducted through EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued DEPARTMENT OF LABOR contracts or agreements with the State agencies. Contingency funds are available only to meet increases in the costs of administration resulting from changes in State law, or increases in the number of claims filed and claims paid. Funding is requested to improve the quality of the unemployment insurance wage records in the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH). Currently, the Social Security Administration is unable to verify the validity of many of the social security numbers in the wage records because it does not have enough characters in the workers’ names to do the match. The recommended funding would cover the one-time State costs of converting their computer systems to store longer names. Legislation will be proposed to provide additional administrative resources for the States to operate their UI programs, as described in the proposal for the Unemployment Trust Fund account. 1997 actual Staff years ............................................................

Employment service.—The public employment service is a nationwide system providing no-fee employment services to individuals who are seeking employment and employers who are seeking workers. State employment service activities are financed by allotment to States distributed under a demographically based funding formula established under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. Employment service allotments are funded on a program year basis running from July 1 through June 30 of the following year. The reemployment needs of unemployed workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own and who need extra job finding help are financed by Reemployment Services grants. These funds will be distributed to States on a program year basis running from July 1 through June 30 the following year. Employment service activities serving national needs are conducted through specific reimbursable agreements between the States and the Federal Government under the WagnerPeyser Act, as amended. Funding is also provided for amortization payments for States which had independent retirement plans prior to 1980 in their State employment service agencies. In this activity, funds are provided for America’s Agricultural Labor Network (AgNet), a new information system that allows growers to find workers and workers to find employment opportunities that meet their needs. In order to streamline and improve the alien labor certification processes, the Department is consolidating alien labor certification functions in the Employment Standards Administration’s (ESA) Wage and Hour Division. All alien labor certification resources formerly budgeted in the Employment and Training Administration are now reflected in ESA’s budget request. The request for FY 2000 reflects this transfer. One-Stop career centers.—These funds will be used to support voluntary State efforts to create a comprehensive system of One-Stop Career Centers which will provide workers and employers with quick and easy access to a wide array of enhanced career development and labor market information services. Funding for this activity is on a program year basis, running from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.

Single-employer program.—The single-employer program protects about 33 million participants in about 42,000 pension plans. Under this program a company may voluntarily seek to terminate its plan, or the PBGC may seek termination under certain circumstances. The PBGC must seek termination when a plan cannot pay current benefits. In a ‘‘standard’’ termination, plan assets must be sufficient to pay all benefits before the plan is allowed to end. That payment is in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, or a lump sum payment. After the payment is made, the PBGC guarantee ends. A plan that cannot pay all benefits may be ended by a ‘‘distress’’ termination, but only if the employer meets tests proving severe financial distress; for example, the likelihood that continuing the plan would force the company to shut down. If the terminated plan cannot pay at least the PBGC-guaranteed benefits, the PBGC uses its funds to ensure guaranteed benefits are paid. 1998 actual Government trusteeships at end of year ....................................

Retirees receiving monthly benefits ............................................ 2,607 473,000 209,300 1999 est. 2,757 513,000 226,000 Multiemployer program.—The multiemployer insurance program protects about 8.7 million participants in about 2,000 plans. Multiemployer pension plans are maintained under collectively bargained agreements involving unrelated employers, generally in the same industry. If a PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay guaranteed benefits when due, the PBGC will provide the plan with financial assistance to continue paying guaranteed benefits, ordinarily in the form of a loan to the plan. Twenty-four plans are expected to receive assistance in 2000. Administrative expenses subject to limitation.—Provides for collection of nearly $1 billion in premiums, accounting and auditing services, asset management, executive direction, and other support functions. Services related to terminations.—This activity provides for needed, but unpredictable, costs related to benefits administration, actuarial services, managing the assets of trusteed plans, and a share of other costs arising from plan termination.

Prevailing wages are determined and employment standards enforced under various Government contract wage standards. In 2000 approximately 234,000 persons are expected to be aided under the Fair Labor Standards Act through securing agreements with firms to pay back wages owed to their workers. In Government contract compliance actions, about 32,000 persons will be aided through securing agreements to pay wages owed to workers. Under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act program, approximately 2,500 investigations and 1,000 housing 681 inspections will be completed. In the course of all on-site investigations, investigators will routinely check for employer compliance with child labor standards and, in all ‘‘directed’’ (non-complaint) investigations, for compliance with the employment eligibility verification recordkeeping requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Resources will be earmarked for Davis-Bacon wage survey/wage determination reengineering and reinvention in FY 2000. The reengineering efforts will be substantially completed in 2000. The Budget maintains resources for the Wage and Hour Division which are assigned to areas where employment of illegal immigrants is most prevalent. The targeting of labor standards enforcement efforts in those industries and geographic areas where unauthorized workers are most prevalent will help to reduce the economic incentive for such illegal employment practices and will, in turn, help reduce illegal immigration. In addition, the Budget provides resources to streamline and reengineer the alien labor certification process to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the program. The reengineered process will reduce the burden on employers while maintaining strong U.S. worker protections. FY 1999 and 2000 include fees paid by employers applying for foreign workers under the H1– b program. Federal contractor EEO standards enforcement.—The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is responsible for ensuring nondiscrimination in employment based on race, sex, religion, color, national origin, disability or veteran status by Federal contractors and subcontractors at 200,000 worksites with a total workforce of 22 million people. It conducts compliance reviews and complaint investigations. It assures that Federal contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action in the hiring and advancement of minorities and women under the authority of Executive Orders 11246 and 11375. It enforces the affirmative action and nondiscrimination provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and, as an agent of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. It ensures that contractors comply with the provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 providing for affirmative action by Federal contractors to employ, and advance in employment, special disabled and Vietnam era veterans. The Budget includes resources to increase compliance by improving efficiency and customer service in the National Office and in each of the Regional Offices. The resources will give added impetus to the technical assistance effort to assist Federal contractors in understanding the regulatory requirements. Specific emphasis will continue the assistance to smaller companies that may not have the expertise to develop Affirmative Action Programs. In addition, OFCCP will provide for an equal pay initiative which will enhance compliance efforts in glass ceiling issues as well as focus on discrimination in nontraditional occupations. This initiative is part of its overall initiative to increase compliance through enhanced compliance assistance. Moreover, OFCCP will maintain reduced reporting requirements for small companies. The staff will provide grassroots seminars and technical assistance training sessions for contractors, contracting agencies, government agencies, and constituency groups through continued development and use of existing information technology. In 2000, approximately 2,722,000 individuals will be directly aided through 6,539 compliance reviews, 484 complaint investigations, and 3,500 other compliance actions. Federal programs for workers’ compensation.—Under this income maintenance activity, the Employment Standards Administration administers the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, and the benefit provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. These programs ensure that eligible disabled and injured workers or their survivors receive com- 682 EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000 General and special funds—Continued SALARIES AND EXPENSES—Continued pensation and medical benefits and a range of services including rehabilitation, supervision of medical care, and technical and advisory counseling to which they are entitled. Monitoring services are provided with respect to State workers’ compensation laws. Program direction and support.—This activity includes planning, personnel management, financial management, and Federal/State liaison programs, management systems implementation, and data processing operations. Major goals in 2000 will include implementing financial management initiatives; continued efforts to eliminate internal fraud, waste, and mismanagement; the improvement of management information, automated data processing, and program and fiscal accountability; and legislative and regulatory improvements. Labor-management standards.—The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) collects and discloses union financial reports; audits union financial records and investigates possible embezzlements of union funds; conducts election investigations; supervises reruns of union officer elections after court determinations that elections were not conducted in accordance with the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act; and administers the statutory program to certify employee protection provisions under various Federally-sponsored transportation programs. In FY 2000, OLMS expects to process 36,000 reports and conduct a total of 3,793 investigations, audits, and supervised elections. 1998 actual 11.1 11.3 11.5 11.9 12.1 21.0 23.1 23.3 24.0 25.2 25.3 25.7 26.0 31.0 41.0 Direct obligations: Personnel compensation: Full-time permanent .............................................

Before any standard is proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a significant risk of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the standard will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and technologically feasible; and (4) the standard is cost-effective when compared with alternative regulatory proposals providing equal levels of protection. Regulatory reform efforts include consensus-based rulemaking, development of common sense regulations, rewriting existing standards in plain language, and regulatory process improvements. Enforcement.—This activity provides for the enforcement of workplace standards promulgated under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 through the physical inspection of worksites, and by fostering the voluntary cooperation of employers and employees. This activity also provides grants to assist States in administering and enforcing State standards. Programs are targeted to the investigation of claims of imminent danger and employee complaints, investigation of fatal and catastrophic accidents, programmed inspections of firms with injury-illness rates that are above the national average, and special emphasis inspections for serious safety and health hazards. OSHA’s enforcement strategy includes a selective targeting of inspections and related compliance activities to specific high hazard industries and worksites. Technical Support.—This activity provides specialized technical expertise and advice in support of a wide range of program areas, including construction, standards setting, variance determinations, compliance assistance, and enforcement. Areas of expertise include laboratory accreditation, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, and safety engineering. Compliance Assistance—Federal.—This activity supports a variety of employer and employee assistance programs, consistent with OSHA’s partnership initiatives. Outreach activities are conducted, including training and information exchanges and technical assistance to employers requesting such help. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations to provide employee and employer training programs, targeted to address specific industry needs for safety and health education. Employers are encouraged to establish voluntary employee protection programs, and Federal agencies are assisted in implementing job safety and health programs for their employees. Professional training for compliance personnel and others with related workplace safety and health responsibilities is conducted at the OSHA Training Institute, and further training is provided by education centers selected and sanctioned by the institute. Compliance Assistance—State.—This activity supports 90 percent Federally-funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies to provide free on-site consultation to employers upon request. State agencies tailor workplans to specific needs in each State while maximizing their impact on injury and illness rates in smaller establishments. These projects offer a variety of services, including safety and health program assessment and assistance, hazard identification and control, and training of employers and their employees. Statistics.—Information technology, management information and statistical support for OSHA’s programs and field operations are provided through an integrated data network, and statistical analysis and review. OSHA administers and 687 maintains the recordkeeping system which serves as the foundation for the BLS survey on occupational injuries and illnesses, provides guidance on recordkeeping requirements to both the public and private sectors, and develops regulations along with interpretive publications and materials. Executive direction and administration.—These activities include executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support, legislative liaison, interagency affairs, administrative services, and budgeting and financial control.
