SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) of the Department 

of Labor (DOL or the Department) 

occasionally solicits applications for 

grants by issuing a ‘‘Solicitation for 

Grant Applications’’ or ‘‘SGA.’’ These 

are usually awarded for multi-year 

periods. In the non-competition years, 

grantees are required to submit a similar 

but simplified set of documents to ETA 

in order to ensure the continuation of 

their grants. Grantees are generally 

required to submit a two-part 

application. The first part of an ETA 

Planning Guidance TEGL consists of 

submitting the Standard Form 424 (SF– 

424), ‘‘Application for Federal 

Assistance’’, the SF–424A Budget 

Narrative. The second part of the 

Planning Guidance usually requires a 

statement of work re-affirming the 

applicant’s capabilities to meet 

performance criteria, along with certain 

certifications and assurances. 

On an emergency basis OMB 

approved TEGLs to be issued by these 

programs in order to obligate the 

Recovery Act funds by March 19, 2009, 

as directed by the Congress and the 

President. 

The Indian and Native American 

Program provides employment and 

training grants to Indian tribes, nonprofit tribal organizations, Alaska Native 

entities and Native Hawaiian 

organizations for the purpose of 

providing employment and training 

services to low income and unemployed 

Native Americans. The program is 

authorized under section 166 of the 

Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The 

program’s services include a 

Comprehensive Services (‘‘adult’’) 

Program (CSP), which serves Indians or 

Native Americans (as determined by the 

individual grantee) who are ages 14 and 

above and who are unemployed, 

underemployed, or low-income 

individuals. The INA program also 

administers the Supplemental Youth 

Services Program (SYSP), which serves 

Indian and Native American youth 

between the ages of 14 and 24 who 

reside on or near a reservation (or in 

Alaska, Hawaii, or Oklahoma), and who 

are low-income or have other barriers to 

employment. 

Originally authorized by the Older 

Americans Act of 1965, the Senior 

Community Service Employment 

Program (SCSEP) is designed to foster 

individual economic self-sufficiency 

and promote useful opportunities in 

community service employment for 

unemployed low-income persons 

(particularly persons who have poor 

employment prospects) who are age 55 

or older, and to increase the number of 

persons who may enjoy the benefits of 

unsubsidized employment in both the 

public and private sectors. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Employment Standards Administration 

is soliciting comments concerning its 

proposal to extend the Office of
