handle is hein.gao/gaobabnit0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION April 26, 1984 B-214955 The Honorable William H. Gray IIIII IIl1111 House of Representatives 124024 124024 The Honorable James R. Jones House of Representatives Subject: Department of Labor's Methodology for Dispersing Fiscal Year 1983 Summer Youth Employment Program Discretionary Funds (GAO/HRD-84-59) In your August 2, 1983, letter and later discussions with your offices, you asked us to review the Department of Labor's methodology for dispersing fiscal year 1983 Summer Youth Employ- ment Program (SYEP) discretionary funds authorized under title IV-C of the former Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA).1 You were concerned that the discretionary funds (1) may not have been awarded in accordance with the intent of the Congress and (2) were awarded without the benefit of sufficient and accurate youth unemployment data. You were also interested in knowing why Philadelphia did not receive any discretionary funds, whereas a consortium in Western Pennsylvania did, even though it was unable to use all of its formula SYEP grant. To address your concerns, we reviewed the legislative his- tory of SYEP to determine the congressional intent for dispers- ing the discretionary funds. We also reviewed the federal im- plementing regulations for guidance on how these funds should be awarded. Further, we obtained information on, and documentation in support of, the basis used for dispersing the fiscal year 1983 SYEP discretionary funds. In addition, we contacted the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the National Commission for Employment Policy, and the Philadelphia CETA prime sponsor to inquire about the type and availability of youth unemployment statistics. ICETA was replaced by the Job Training Partnership Act, which became operational on October 1, 1983. (205039)
