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

ACTION: Notice: Amendment to SGA/DFA-PY 08-19.

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

SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration published a 
document in the Federal Register on June 24, 2009, announcing the 
availability of funds and solicitation for grant applications (SGA) for 
Pathways Out of Poverty to be awarded through a competitive process. 
This amendment to the SGA clarifies items related to: (1) The grant 
officer to whom mailed applications should be addressed; (2) 
supplementary information in Section B ``Green Industries and 
Occupations''; (3) eligible applicants and required partnerships 
(Section III.A); (4) local entities (Section III.A.2); and (5) 
participants eligible to receive training (Section III.D.1). The 
document is hereby amended.
    1. ADDRESSES section (page 30138) is revised by replacing the 
language designated below as ``old text'' with the language designated 
as ``new text'' as follows:
    a. Old Text--``ADDRESSES: Mailed applications must be addressed to 
the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment & Training Administration, 
Division of Federal Assistance, Attention: Melissa Abdullah, Grants 
Officer, Reference SGA/DFA PY 08-19, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room 
N4716, Washington, DC 20210.''
    b. New Text--``ADDRESSES: Mailed applications must be addressed to 
the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment & Training Administration, 
Division of Federal Assistance, Attention: Donna Kelly, Grant Officer, 
Reference SGA/DFA PY 08-19, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N4716, 
Washington, DC 20210.''
    2. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Section B ``Green Industries and 
Occupations'' (page 30139) is revised to provide further information on 
the industries on which applicants may focus by adding the language 
designated below as ``new text'' to the existing language in that 
section:
    a. New Text: ``We will also evaluate applications for projects that 
include emerging green occupations from industries that have not been 
discussed in this section.''
    3. Section III.A, ``Eligible Applicants and Required Partnerships'' 
(page 30140) is revised to confirm that the applicant in the proposed 
project must be clearly designated by replacing the language designated 
below as ``old text'' with the language designated as ``new text'' as 
follows at the end of the first paragraph:
    a. Old Text--``The applicant categories for this SGA, along with 
the required partnerships for each, are defined below.''
    b. New Text--``The applicant categories for this SGA, along with 
the required partnerships for each, are defined below. While the SGA 
indicates required and suggested partners, the proposal must designate 
a lead applicant.''
    4. Section III.A.2, ``Local Entities'' (page 30141) is revised to 
confirm that Tribal Governments may be eligible applicants within the 
local entity category, and provide further information on the 
definition of non-profit entities. In the SGA, the language designated 
below as ``old text'' is replaced with the language designated as ``new 
text,'' as follows:
    a. Old Text--``For the purposes of this SGA, applicants qualify as 
local entities if they are public organizations (such as community 
colleges or workforce investment boards) or private nonprofit 
organizations (such as community or faith-based organizations) whose 
service area is limited to a single sub-State geographic area, such as 
a neighborhood, city, county, sub-State region, or interstate region 
comprised of multiple sub-State regions (such as Kansas City).''
    b. New Text--``For the purposes of this SGA, applicants qualify as 
local entities if they are public organizations or private nonprofit 
organizations (which may include entities such as community colleges, 
workforce investment boards, community or faith-based organizations, 
and Tribal Governments) whose service area is limited to a single sub-
State geographic area, such as a neighborhood, city, county, sub-State 
region, or interstate region comprised of multiple sub-State regions 
(such as Kansas City). A private nonprofit entity is an organization 
that is legally organized for the purposes of tax exempt nonprofit 
status under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or is actively 
pursuing IRS nonprofit tax exempt status.''
    5. Section III.D.1, ``Participants Eligible to Receive Training'' 
(page 30142) is revised to clarify that within the four categories of 
individuals that grantees must serve through grants awarded through 
this SGA, grantees

may serve a broad range of individuals. In the SGA, the language 
designated below as ``old text'' is replaced with the language 
designated as ``new text,'' as follows:
    a. Old Text--``For specific definitions for these target 
populations, applicants must refer to Section VI.B.''
    b. New Text--``For specific definitions for these target 
populations, applicants must refer to Section VI.B. Within these four 
categories, eligible participants may serve a broad range of 
individuals, including: Individuals with disabilities, individuals with 
limited English proficiency, Veterans, Indian and Native Americans, and 
older workers.''
