Disability Employment Grant Program Funded Under the Workforce 
Investment Act Title I, Disability Program; Notice of Changes to 
Solicitation for Grant Application (SGA)

    On November 7, 2001, the Department of Labor (DOL) announced in the 
Federal Register (Vol. 66, No. 216; pp. 56347-56358) a solicitation for 
grant applications (SGA) for the Disability Program (Reference: SGA/DFA 
02-100). Proposals for this SGA were to be submitted by 4 p.m. Eastern 
Standard Time (EST) on Friday, December 21, 2001.
    Under Part III Review Process, Evaluation Criteria and Statement of 
Work, four (4) criteria are described. As a result of several 
inquiries, the Department wishes to clarify its' intent of criterion A. 
Project Design. Effective this date, Part III Project Design, No. 2. 
Training and Supportive Services paragraphs 4 & 5 are replaced as 
follows:
    Applicants are encouraged to include on-the-job training and 
internship or self-employment strategies in their project design. 
Project design must describe why these are effective strategies for the 
client group being served and how many participants are expected to 
receive specific services (e.g., how many will be in on-the-job 
training). Private sector employer commitment to on-the-job positions 
should be identified.
    Applicants are also encouraged to include strategies related to 
training in the information technology skills sector, such as software 
design, network applications, and service repair technicians. The 
description provided should be clear on the complexity of the training 
and expectations for higher salaried employment outcomes with a long 
range career potential. This may include training on Microsoft WORD, 
Word Perfect, Lotus, or other basic computer familiarity training.
    Other than indicated herein, the requirements established by the 
above referenced November 7, 2001 SGA (SGA/DFA 02-100) remain in force.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 30th day of November 2001.

Grant Officer, Division of Federal Assistance.
