Sec. 631.32  Allocation of funds by the Governor.

    Of the funds allotted to the Governor by the Secretary under 
Sec. Sec. 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 Sec. 631.11 and 
Sec. 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 Sec. 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 
Sec. 631.14 of this part (sections 302(c)(2) and 317(1)(B)).
