Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA); Amendment One--Energy 
Training Partnership Grants

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

ACTION: Notice: Amendment to SGA/DFA-PY 08-18.

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

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 
Energy Training Partnerships awarded through a competitive process. 
This amendment to the SGA clarifies items related to: (1) Eligible 
applicants (Section III.A); (2) Statewide and local entities that are 
eligible applicants (Section III.A.2); (3) participants eligible to 
receive training (Section III.E.1); (4) correction to formatting of 
``Other Eligibility Requirements'' section; (5) Attachment 1 for the 
list of auto-impacted communities; and (6) supplementary information in 
Section B ``Green Industries and Occupations.'' The document is hereby 
amended.
    1. Section III.A., ``Eligible Applicants'': (page 30154) Is revised 
to confirm that Local Workforce Investment Boards and One Stop Career 
Centers are not eligible applicants, confirm that the applicant in the 
proposed project must be clearly designated, and provide 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--``Under this announcement, eligible applicants are 
private nonprofit organizations that must apply under one of two 
categories: (1) National labor-management organizations with local 
networks; or (2) Statewide or local nonprofit partnerships. All 
applicants are expected to work in conjunction with partnerships 
consisting of labor organizations, employers, Workforce Investment 
Boards (WIBs), and other organizations as defined in section 
171(e)(2)(B)(ii) of WIA. These categories create two applicant pools, 
which will compete separately for funding under this SGA.''
    b. New Text--``Under this announcement, eligible applicants are 
private nonprofit organizations that must apply under one of two 
categories: (1) National labor-management organizations with local 
networks; or (2) Statewide or local nonprofit partnerships. All 
applicants are expected to work in conjunction with partnerships 
consisting of labor organizations, employers, Workforce Investment 
Boards, and other organizations as defined in section 171(e)(2)(B)(ii) 
of WIA. While the SGA indicates required and suggested partners, the 
proposal must designate a lead applicant. These categories create two 
applicant pools, which will compete separately for funding under this 
SGA. Local Workforce Investment Boards and One Stop Career Centers are 
not eligible applicants under this SGA. 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.''
    2. Section III.A.2.,''Statewide and Local Entities'': (page 30154) 
Is revised to confirm that eligible applicants for the State and local 
category are Statewide or local private nonprofit entities, including 
private nonprofit entities that serve American Indian reservations. In 
the SGA, the language designated below as ``old text'' is replaced with 
the language designated as ``new text,'' as follows:
    a. Old Text--``Statewide and Local Entities: Applicants for the 
State and local category are local or Statewide non-profit entities 
with a joint partnership of labor organizations, employers or industry 
organizations, Workforce Investment Boards and One Stop Career Centers. 
A Statewide or local entity that receives an award under category 2 of 
this SGA may not receive sub-grant or sub-contract funding from a 
national organization that receives an award under category 1. For the 
purposes of this SGA, the term `State' means each of the 50 States of 
the United States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories as 
defined in Section VI.B.''
    b. New Text--``Statewide and Local Entities: Applicants for the 
State and local category are Statewide or local private nonprofit 
entities, including private nonprofit entities that serve American 
Indian reservations, with a joint partnership of labor organizations, 
employers or industry organizations, Workforce Investment Boards and 
One Stop Career Centers. A Statewide or local private nonprofit entity 
that receives an award under category 2 of this SGA may not receive 
sub-grant or sub-contract funding from a national organization that 
receives an award under category 1. For the purposes of this SGA, the 
term `State' means each of the 50 States of the United States, the 
District of Columbia, and U.S. territories as defined in Section 
VI.B.''
    3. Section III.E.1, ``Participants Eligible to Receive Training'': 
(page 30156) Is revised to clarify that individuals with disabilities 
are among the populations that can be served through grants awarded 
through this SGA by replacing the language designated below as ``old 
text'' with the language designated as ``new text,'' as follows:
    a. Old Text--``Projects may also serve individuals with a criminal 
record; and populations that have not traditionally been employed in 
construction and skilled trade occupations, such as women and 
minorities.''
    b. New Text--``Projects may also serve other types of individuals 
that may not be a part of the categories above, such as: individuals 
with a criminal record; individuals with disabilities; and populations 
that have not traditionally been employed in construction and skilled 
trade occupations, such as women and minorities.''
    4. Correction to formatting of ``Other Eligibility Requirements'' 
section: The ``Other Eligibility Requirements'' section of the SGA is 
currently listed as section ``D. Other Eligibility Requirements'' on p. 
30155. The section was formatted incorrectly, and the SGA is revised so 
that the ``Other Eligibility Requirements'' section is now listed as 
``C. Other Eligibility Requirements'' instead of ``D. Other Eligibility 
Requirements''. With this correction, ``Other Eligibility 
Requirements'' is now correctly listed as Section III.C. of the SGA.
    5. Attachment I--Counties Impacted By Automotive-Related 
Restructuring: This notice is to provide ``Attachment I''

[[Page 36532]]

as referenced on p. 30154, Section II.A which is a list of 281 counties 
impacted by automotive-related restructuring from the Center for 
Automotive Research. In addition to the 281 counties, an additional 31 
counties have been included on the list due to an inadvertent omission 
on the original list. This is the complete and final list and there 
will be no further changes to this list.
