Requires any performance standards issued under the Act to include factors recognizing that certain characteristics of program participants justify additional costs or lower performance. Makes individuals who are at least 55 years old and have a low income eligible for training programs for older individuals. Makes requirements for certain cost limitations inapplicable to incentive grants under certain provisions for within-State allocations.

Limits the amount of a within-State allocation to a service delivery area to no more than 90 percent of the average amount which such service delivery area received for the previous three years. Provides for reallocations among service delivery areas not affected by such adjustments and for certain recalculations to determine the hold harmless for FY 1987. Authorizes a Governor to use excess amounts of program performance incentive grants for technical assistance to any service delivery area in a State. Defines "eligible youth" for purposes of authorizing job training services to disadvantaged youth under the Act. Requires a report to the Congress on implementing a requirement that a specified percentage of authorized funds be spent on such eligible youths during a certain transition period.
