Last summer, Congress proposed and enacted a rescission of $177.5 million from the WIA Title I dislocated worker program for PY 2001. This notice is to provide to states advance notice of a planned determination by the Secretary of Labor on or before June 28, 2002, of revised Program Year (PY) 2001 allotments for the dislocated worker program under WIA Title I as a result of the congressional rescission contained in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public Law 107-20).
