 CHAPTER V--EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 665--STATEWIDE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES UNDER TITLE I OF THE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart C--Rapid Response Activities
 
Sec. 665.340  What is meant by ``provision of additional assistance'' in WIA section 134(a)(2)(A)(ii)?

    Up to 25 percent of dislocated worker funds may be reserved for 
rapid response activities. Once the State has reserved adequate funds 
for rapid response activities, such as those described in Secs. 665.310 
and 665.320, the remainder of the funds may be used by the State to 
provide funds to local areas, that experience increased numbers of 
unemployed individuals due to natural disasters, plant closings, mass 
layoffs or other events, for provision of direct services to 
participants (such as intensive, training, and other services) if there 
are not adequate local funds available to assist the dislocated workers.
