on funding methods
Beginning July 1, 2016, if the local board,
chief elected officials, and one-stop part-
ners described in subsection (b)(1) in a
local area fail to reach consensus agree-
ment on methods of sufficiently funding
the costs of infrastructure of one-stop cen-
ters for a program year, the State infra-
structure funding mechanism described in
paragraph (2) shall be applicable to such
local area for that program year and for
each subsequent program year for which
those entities and individuals fail to reach
such agreement.
(B) Guidance for infrastructure funding
In addition to carrying out the require-
ments relating to the State infrastructure
funding mechanism described in paragraph
(2), the Governor, after consultation with

programs’ proportionate use of such sys-
tem consistent with chapter II of title 2,
Code of Federal Regulations (or any cor-
responding similar regulation or ruling),
including determining funding for the
costs of infrastructure, which contribu-
tions shall be negotiated pursuant to the
memorandum of understanding under sub-
section (c); and
(ii) guidance to assist local boards, chief
elected officials, and one-stop partners in
local areas in determining equitable and
stable methods of funding the costs of in-
frastructure of one-stop centers in such
areas.
(2) State one-stop infrastructure funding
(A) Definition
In this paragraph, the term ‘‘covered por-
tion’’, used with respect to funding for a fis-
cal year for a program described in sub-
section (b)(1), means a portion determined
under subparagraph (C) of the Federal funds
provided to a State (including local areas
within the State) under the Federal law au-
thorizing that program described in sub-
section (b)(1) for the fiscal year (taking into
account the availability of funding for pur-
poses related to infrastructure from philan-
thropic organizations, private entities, or
other alternative financing options).
(B) Partner contributions
Subject to subparagraph (D), for local
areas in a State that are not covered by
paragraph (1)(A)(i)(I), the covered portions of
funding for a fiscal year shall be provided to
the Governor from the programs described in
subsection (b)(1), to assist in paying the
costs of infrastructure of one-stop centers in
those local areas of the State not adequately
funded under the option described in para-
graph (1)(A)(i)(I).
(C) Determination of Governor
(i) In general
Subject to clause (ii) and subparagraph
(D), the Governor, after consultation with
chief elected officials, local boards, and
the State board, shall determine the por-
tion of funds to be provided under subpara-
graph (B) by each one-stop partner from
each program described in subparagraph
(B). In making such determination for the
purpose of determining funding contribu-
tions, for funding pursuant to clause (i)(II)
or (ii) of paragraph (1)(A) by each partner,
the Governor shall calculate amounts for

TITLE 29—LABOR
§ 3151
3 So in original. Probably should be ‘‘2014,’’.
the proportionate use of the one-stop cen-
ters in the State, consistent with chapter
II of title 2, Code of Federal Regulations
(or any corresponding similar regulation
or ruling), taking into account the costs of
administration of the one-stop delivery
system for purposes not related to one-
stop centers, for each partner. The Gov-
ernor shall exclude from such determina-
tion of funds the amounts for propor-
tionate use of one-stop centers attrib-
utable to the programs of one-stop part-
ners for those local areas of the State
where the costs of infrastructure of one-
stop centers are funded under the option
described in paragraph (1)(A)(i)(I). The
Governor shall also take into account the
statutory requirements for each partner
program and the partner program’s ability
to fulfill such requirements.
(ii) Special rule
In a State in which the State constitu-
tion or a State statute places policy-
making authority that is independent of
the authority of the Governor in an entity
or official with respect to the funds pro-
vided for adult education and literacy ac-
tivities authorized under subchapter II,
postsecondary career and technical edu-
cation activities authorized under the Carl
D. Perkins Career and Technical Edu-
cation Act of 2006 (20 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.), or
vocational rehabilitation services offered
under a provision covered by section
3102(13)(D) of this title, the determination
described in clause (i) with respect to the
programs
authorized
under
that
sub-
chapter, Act, or provision shall be made by
the chief officer of the entity, or the offi-
cial, with such authority in consultation
with the Governor.
(D) Limitations
(i) Provision from administrative funds
(I) In general
Subject to subclause (II), the funds
provided under this paragraph by each
one-stop partner shall be provided only
from funds available for the costs of ad-
ministration under the program admin-
istered by such partner, and shall be sub-
ject to the program’s limitations with
respect to the portion of funds under
such program that may be used for ad-
ministration.
(II) Exceptions
Nothing in this clause shall be con-
strued to apply to the programs carried
out under this subchapter, or under title
V of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (42
U.S.C. 3056 et seq.).
(ii) Cap on required contributions
For local areas in a State that are not
covered by paragraph (1)(A)(i)(I), the fol-
lowing rules shall apply:
(I) WIA formula programs and employ-
ment service
The portion of funds required to be
contributed under this paragraph from a
program authorized under subpart 2 or 3,
or the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49 et
seq.) shall not exceed 3 percent of the
amount of Federal funds provided to
carry out that program in the State for
a fiscal year.
(II) Other one-stop partners
The portion of funds required to be
contributed under this paragraph from a
program described in subsection (b)(1)
other than the programs described in
subclause (I) shall not exceed 1.5 percent
of the amount of Federal funds provided
to carry out that program in the State
for a fiscal year.
(III) Vocational rehabilitation
Notwithstanding subclauses (I) and
(II), an entity administering a program
described in subsection (b)(1)(B)(iv) shall
not be required to provide from that pro-
gram, under this paragraph, a portion
that exceeds—
(aa) 0.75 percent of the amount of
Federal funds provided to carry out
such program in the State for the sec-
ond full program year that begins after
July 22, 2014;
(bb) 1.0 percent of the amount pro-
vided to carry out such program in the
State for the third full program year
that begins after such date;
(cc) 1.25 percent of the amount pro-
vided to carry out such program in the
State for the fourth full program year
that begins after such date; and
(dd) 1.5 percent of the amount pro-
vided to carry out such program in the
State for the fifth and each succeeding
full program year that begins after
such date.
(iii) Federal direct spending programs
For local areas in a State that are not
covered by paragraph (1)(A)(i)(I), an entity
administering a program funded with di-
rect spending as defined in section 900(c)(8)
of title 2, as in effect on February 15, 2014 3
shall not be required to provide, for pur-
poses of this paragraph, an amount in ex-
cess of the amount determined under sub-
paragraph (C)(i) to be equivalent to the
cost of the proportionate use of the one-
stop centers for the one-stop partner for
such program in the State.
(iv) Native American programs
One-stop partners for Native American
programs established under section 3221 of
this title shall not be subject to the provi-
sions of this subsection (other than this
clause) or subsection (i). For purposes of
subsection (c)(2)(A)(ii)(II), the method for
determining the appropriate portion of
funds to be provided by such partners to
pay for the costs of infrastructure of a one-
stop center shall be determined as part of
the development of the memorandum of
understanding under subsection (c) for the
Page 859
TITLE 29—LABOR
§ 3151
one-stop center and shall be stated in the
memorandum.
(E) Appeal by one-stop partners
The Governor shall establish a process, de-
scribed under section 3112(b)(2)(D)(i)(IV) of
this title, for a one-stop partner admin-
istering a program described in subsection
(b)(1) to appeal a determination regarding
the portion of funds to be provided under
this paragraph. Such a determination may
be appealed under the process on the basis
that such determination is inconsistent with
the requirements of this paragraph. Such
process shall ensure prompt resolution of
the appeal in order to ensure the funds are
distributed in a timely manner, consistent
with the requirements of section 3242(e) of
this title.
(3) Allocation by Governor
(A) In general
From the funds provided under paragraph
(1), the Governor shall allocate the funds to
local areas described in subparagraph (B) in
accordance with the formula established
under subparagraph (B) for the purposes of
assisting in paying the costs of infrastruc-
ture of one-stop centers.
(B) Allocation formula
The State board shall develop a formula to
be used by the Governor to allocate the
funds provided under paragraph (1) to local
areas not funding costs of infrastructure
under the option described in paragraph
(1)(A)(i)(I). The formula shall be based on
factors including the number of one-stop
centers in a local area, the population served
by such centers, the services provided by
such centers, and other factors relating to
the performance of such centers that the
State board determines are appropriate.
(4) Costs of infrastructure
In this subsection, the term ‘‘costs of infra-
structure’’, used with respect to a one-stop
center, means the nonpersonnel costs that are
necessary for the general operation of the one-
stop center, including the rental costs of the
facilities, the costs of utilities and mainte-
nance, equipment (including assessment-re-
lated products and assistive technology for in-
dividuals with disabilities), and technology to
facilitate access to the one-stop center, in-
cluding the center’s planning and outreach ac-
tivities.
(i) Other funds
(1) In general
Subject to the memorandum of under-
standing described in subsection (c) for the
one-stop delivery system involved, in addition
to the funds provided to carry out subsection
(h), a portion of funds made available under
Federal law authorizing the programs de-
scribed in subsection (b) and administered by
one-stop partners, or the noncash resources
available under such programs, shall be used
to pay the additional costs relating to the op-
eration of the one-stop delivery system that
are not paid from the funds provided under
subsection (h), as determined in accordance
with paragraph (3), to the extent not incon-
sistent with the Federal law involved. Such
costs shall include the costs of the provision of
career services described in section 3174(c)(2)
of this title applicable to each program and
may include common costs that are not paid
from the funds provided under subsection (h).
(2) Shared services
The costs described under paragraph (1) may
include costs of services that are authorized
for and may be commonly provided through
the one-stop partner programs to any indi-
vidual, such as initial intake, assessment of
needs, appraisal of basic skills, identification
of appropriate services to meet such needs, re-
ferrals to other one-stop partners, and other
similar services.
(3) Determination and guidance
The method for determining the appropriate
portion of funds and noncash resources to be
provided by the one-stop partner for each pro-
gram under paragraph (1) for a one-stop center
shall be determined as part of the development
of the memorandum of understanding under
subsection (c) for the one-stop center and shall
be stated in the memorandum. The State
board shall provide guidance to facilitate the
determination, for purposes of the memo-
randum of understanding, of an appropriate al-
location of the funds and noncash resources in
local areas, consistent with the requirements
of section 3111(d)(6)(C) of this title.

(A) work—
(i) is a valued activity, both for individ-

(B) as a group, individuals with disabilities
experience staggering levels of unemploy-
ment and poverty;
(C) individuals with disabilities, including
individuals with the most significant dis-

working at levels not commensurate with
their abilities and capabilities, include—

abilities;

abilities, including individuals with the

significant
