PUBLIC LAW 95-524—OCT. 27, 1978 State's allocation under subsection (a) for encouraging coordination and establishing linkages between prime sponsors and appropriate educational agencies and institutions, and institutions providing training programs which are approved by the Secretary, and for services for eligible participants delivered jointly by employment and training agencies and appropriate educational agencies and institutions. "(e) Four percent of the amounts available for parts A, B, and C of this title shall be available to each Governor in the same proportion as that State's allocation under subsection (a), for the Governor's coordination and special services under section 105, and, when deemed necessary by the Governor, for additional support of State employment and training councils. "(f)(1) The remainder of the funds shall be available in the Secretary's discretion to be distributed among prime sponsors (or where a prime sponsor's comprehensive employment and training plan has not been approved, an area served by the Secretary under the authority in section 102) in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2). "(2)(A) The Secretary shall first utilize such funds to assure that each prime sponsor is provided with (i) an amount for fiscal year 1979 equal to 90 percent of the sum of the funds available for expenditure during fiscal year 1978 by such prime sponsor under section 103(a)(2), (f)^ and (g) (as in effect prior to the enactment of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act Amendments of 1978); (ii) an amount for fiscal year 1980, equal to 90 percent of the sum of the funds available for expenditure during fiscal year 1979 by prime sponsors under subsection (a)(1); or (iii) an amount for any fiscal year beginning on or after October 1, 1980, equal to 90 percent of the sum of the funds available for expenditure during the preceding fiscal year by such prime sponsor under subsection (a)(2). "(B) The Secretary shall next use such funds (i) to provide continued support for concentrated employment program grantees serving rural areas having high levels of unemployment, and (ii) to allocate among the prime sponsors serving areas within those standard metropolitan statistical areas and central cities for which current population surveys were used to determine annual unemployment data prior to January 1, 1978, in proportion to the extent to which such prime sponsors allocations under this subsection are reduced as a result of termination of the use of such surveys, but in no event shall such a prime sponsor receive an amount in excess of the amount of such reduction. The allocations required under clause (ii) of this subparagraph shall not be made for any fiscal year beginning on or after October 1, 1980, or until such time as the Secretary determines that current population survey data is available for use on a satisfactory basis for such areas and the remaining area of each State, whichever occurs first. "(C) The Secretary shall next use such funds as needed to provide continued funding of programs of demonstrated effectiveness, and to encourage, after consultation with and receiving recommendations from the Governor of the appropriate State, voluntary consortia (formed under section 101(a)(3)) where the Secretary determines, pursuant to regulations, that such consortia demonstrate advantages in delivering employment and training services to substantial portions of functioning labor market areas. "(g) Prime sponsors are authorized to use funds allocated under this section to support prime sponsor planning councils.
