Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) Amendment Two; Pathways 
Out of Poverty

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) Use of funds 
for supportive services (section IV.F); and (2) identifying PUMA(s) to 
be served (section VIII.A.1). The document is hereby amended.
    1. ``Use of Funds for Supportive Services'' section IV.F (page 
30145) is revised as follows to indicate a change in the amount of 
grant funds that may be used for supportive services:
    a. Old Text--``Grantees may use no more than 5% of their grant 
funds on these services.''
    b. New Text--``Grantees may use no more than 10% of their grant 
funds on these services.''
    2. ``Identify PUMA(s) to be Served'' section VIII.A.1 (page 30151) 
is revised to include the following paragraph at the end of the section 
regarding additional resources on PUMAs that may be helpful:
    a. New Text--``Applicants should note that the PUMA maps display 
the outlines of census tracts but do not show census tract numbers or 
street names. Applicants looking for additional information on the 
street-level boundaries of PUMAs should cross-reference the appropriate 
PUMA map, which can be found here (http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/puma5pct.htm) with the appropriate census tract maps, which can be 
found here (http://ftp2.census.gov/plmap/pl_trt/). Follow the census 
tract map link above, which will display a list of States. Click on the 
appropriate State, and then click the appropriate county for a 
directory of map files for that county. Each county directory contains 
map files that show numbered census tracts and street names for 
specific areas within the county. For some counties, the first file in 
the directory will be an overview map of the entire county, which 
serves as an index for the remaining map files. Applicants can then 
match the census tract outlines on the PUMA map with the numbered 
census tracts depicted on the census tract maps. Identifying the census 
tracts that serve as the outer edge of the PUMA and zooming in on the 
census tract maps to see the street names will help applicants to 
identify the street-level boundaries of the PUMA.''
