Applications for New Awards; Education Stabilization Fund--
Reimagine Workforce Preparation (ESF-RWP) Grants Program

AGENCY: Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, Department of 
Education.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On June 23, 2020, the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult 
Education published in the Federal Register a notice inviting 
applications (NIA) for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2020 for the 
ESF-RWP Grants Program, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 
number 84.425G. We are correcting the information regarding eligible 
entities for the ESF-RWP grant program to indicate that the applicant 
must be either a State Workforce Board that is a State agency or entity 
with the authority to apply for, receive, and administer ESF-RWP funds; 
or a State agency or entity that is designated by the State Workforce 
Board to apply for, receive, and administer ESF-RWP funds. All other 
information in the NIA, including the August 24, 2020, deadline for 
transmittal of applications, remains the same.

DATES: This correction is applicable July 21, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 23, 2020, we published in the 
Federal Register an NIA for new awards for FY 2020 for ESF-RWP grants 
(85 FR 37636). In the NIA, we indicated that State Workforce Boards 
were eligible entities. Under section 18001(a)(3) of Division B of the 
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), ESF-RWP 
funds are awarded to States. Since publication of the NIA, some States 
have indicated that the State Workforce Board in their State is not a 
State entity with the authority to apply for, receive, and administer 
Federal grant funds. As a result, we are correcting the NIA to indicate 
that the eligible entity for this competition must be either (1) a 
State Workforce Board that is a State agency or entity with the 
authority to apply for, administer, and receive ESF-RWP funds; or (2) a 
State agency or entity that is designated by a State Workforce Board to 
apply for, administer, and receive ESF-RWP funds.
    All other information in the NIA, including the August 24, 2020, 
deadline for transmittal of applications and the requirement that only 
one application may be submitted per State, remains the same. 
Instructions for submitting an application can be found in the NIA.
