DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA); Prisoner Re-Entry 
Initiative

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

ACTION: Notice; additional information and correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration published a 
document in the Federal Register on April 1, 2005, concerning the 
availability of grant funds for eligible faith-based and community 
organizations under the Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative: SGA/DFA PY-04-08. 
This is to make the following clarifications and corrections to SGA/DFA 
PY-04-08:
    1. The SGA intended that Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) would 
have a

[[Page 31540]]

supportive role in this project rather than be the lead agency, and 
this is to provide clarification that WIBs are not eligible applicants 
for this SGA. Further, the requirement for a letter of support from the 
WIB is intended simply to demonstrate that the WIB will play a 
supportive role in the project by providing employment services for 
released prisoners in One-Stop Centers. DOL encourages WIBs to work 
with any faith-based or community organization (FBCO) that wishes to 
apply for these grants. FBCOs who have not received a letter from the 
WIB may instead demonstrate in its proposal the steps that they have 
taken to secure such a letter.
    2. Page 16855 of the SGA indicates that applicants should limit the 
share of funds for program administration, including technical 
assistance and oversight, to 10 percent of the amount for which they 
are applying. We are modifying this to 15 percent of the amount for 
which you are applying.
    3. Page 16859 of the SGA indicates that an FBCO can be listed as a 
sub-grantee in more than one application, but that they will only be 
able to receive a sub-grant award from one grant. This was too 
restrictive and there are instances in which it would be appropriate 
for an FBCO or other organization to be awarded a sub-grant in two or 
more grants. The SGA is now modified to allow an FBCO or other 
organization to receive a sub-grant award in more than one grant.
    4. Page 16860 of the SGA indicates that applicants may apply online 
at http://www.grants.gov. The mandatory form SF 424A has just been 
added for download. If you have previously downloaded the application 
package, please download the package again. If you do not download the 
package with the SF 424A, Grants.gov will reject your application 
submission with errors.

Specialist, Division of Federal Assistance, on (202) 693-3504.
