Amendment

    In the Federal Register of April 26, 2007, in FR Volume 72, Number 
80:
    1. On page 20877, starting in the middle column, the question ``Can 
a National or Regional Organization Apply to Serve Multiple Urban or 
Rural Communities?'' and its answer is now deleted from the 
solicitation.
    The solicitation is amended to add the following question: Can I 
Apply For Multiple Towns in One Application? If a town is large enough 
to reasonably support a YouthBuild program, the grant activities should 
generally be focused on one town. If the applicant determines that the 
town is not large enough to support a YouthBuild program, it may 
include additional towns and provide justification for the larger 
service area. If multiple towns are included together in the 
application, applicants must limit the total requested grant amount to 
$1.1 million.
    2. On page 20878, in the middle column, Part III. (A) Eligible 
Applicants, it states the following: An organization is an eligible 
applicant for these grants if it is a public or private nonprofit 
agency or organization (including a consortium of such agencies or 
organizations with a designated lead applicant), including:

limited to:
    3. On page 20878, in the left column, under Section I.D, ``What Are 
Allowable Uses of Grant Funds''? (13), it states the following: 
Equipment, and/or supplies related to the YouthBuild activities funded 
through this grant are an allowable use of funds.
    The solicitation is amended to add the following statement: The 
Department of Labor interprets this to mean that the purchase of 
construction materials to be used for houses as part of the training 
for YouthBuild participants would be an allowable use of grant funds.
    4. On page 20878, in the right column, Section III.C. Matching 
Funds and Leveraged Resources. The solicitation is amended to add the 
following statement: Construction materials that are acquired without 
grant funds and are used for houses as part of the training for 
YouthBuild participants may be used in fulfilling the 25 percent match 
requirement. The match may be cash or in-kind resources and must meet 
all the requirements in accordance with the applicable Federal cost 
principles.
    5. YouthBuild ``Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)'' will be posted 
on the Department of Labor, Employment & Training Administration, Youth 
Services Web site and may be accessed at http://www.doleta.gov/youth_services/YouthBuild.cfm. The FAQs may be updated during the life of the 
competition.
