DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) Senior Community 
Service Employment Program Grants for PY 2003--Amendment

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice; amendments to the SGA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration published a 
document in the November 8, 2002 Federal Register (67 FR 68178), 
concerning the availability of grant funds for the national grants 
portion of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). The 
document is being amended to reflect several technical changes as well 
as provide some clarifications.
    The following amendments apply to this SGA:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions should be addressed to 
Lorraine Saunders, Division of Federal Assistance, phone (202) 693-3301 
or Fax (202) 693-2879. (These are not toll free numbers). All inquiries 
should include the new SGA number (DFA-03-101), a contact name, fax 
number, and phone number.

I. G. Submission of Proposals

    Electronic Applications. Due to the erratic mail delivery in the 
Washington, DC area, in addition to using the U.S. Postal Service or 
overnight delivery services, applicants have the option of submitting 
their applications via e-mail to [email protected]. E-mailed 
applications must be followed up with a hard copy of the SF-424 with 
original signature. Applications should follow the instructions in the 
original publication.

II. A. Eligible Applicants

(1) General National Grant Funds

    Applications for general SCSEP national grant funds will be 
accepted from nonprofit organizations, including community- and faith-
based organizations; Federal public agencies; and tribal organizations 
that can administer an effective program in accordance with section 
502(b)(1) of the OAA, and which have a familiarity with the areas and 
populations to be served and have the capacity to administer multi-
State programs.
    Any eligible entity may apply for one or more locations within a 
State or among several States. An application that is for positions 
solely in one State will not be rejected for that reason, as long as it 
meets the other requirements of this SGA. Being ``capable'' of 
administering multi-State programs allows the Department to negotiate 
with successful applicants to ensure that contiguous locations that did 
not receive a proposal are served as described in the SGA. It also 
ensures that participants in locations that did not receive a proposal 
do not experience a disruption in services.
    It is not the Department's intent to open the national grants 
portion of funds to the States, State agencies, or local governments. 
State grantees will continue to receive funds through the distribution 
of funding under the legislation.

III. A. Program Components

    The Department also intends to hold informational conferences for 
prospective applicants for all interested entities that want to learn 
more about the program and the competition process. Locations and dates 
for these conferences are as follows:
