Sec. 601.6  Grants for administration of unemployment insurance and employment service.


    Grants of funds for administration of State unemployment insurance 
and public employment service programs are made to States under section 
302(a) of the Social Security Act, the Wagner-Peyser Act, and the 
Appropriation Acts.
    (a) Requests for funds. The forms and instructions used by State 
agencies in requesting funds are available upon request from the 
Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor, Washington, 
DC 20210, and at the regional offices. The forms and instructions call 
for detailed information for each budgetary period concerning the 
specific amounts requested for personal services and other current 
expenses of State agencies, supported by workload and unit-cost 
estimates. Supplementary budget requests are processed in the same 
manner as regular requests. The Administration's representatives in the 
regional offices furnish assistance to the State agencies in preparing 
requests for funds.
    (b) Processing of requests. State agencies send their requests for 
funds to the RAETA who reviews the requests and forwards them to the ETA 
National Office with his recommendation as to the amounts necessary for 
proper and efficient administration of the State unemployment 
compensation law and employment service program.

The ETA National Office appraises the requests and the recommendations 
of the regional representatives from a nationwide point of view, 
examining each State's request in the light of the experience of other 
States to insure equitable treatment among the States in the allocation 
of funds made available by Congress for the administration of State 
unemployment compensation laws and public employment service programs.
    (c) Action by ETA National Office. If the ETA National Office 
approves the State's budget request, the State agency is notified; and, 
provided the conditions precedent to grants continue during the 
budgetary period, certifications for payment, under the approved budget, 
stating the amounts, are made by the ETA National Office to the 
Secretary of the Treasury quarterly. Upon denial of a request, in whole 
or in part, the State agency is notified and the RAETA is instructed to 
negotiate with the State with a view to removing the basis for denial.
