Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA); Amendment One; Green 
Capacity Building Grants

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

ACTION: Notice: Amendment to SGA/DFA-PY-08-21.

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

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 
Green Capacity Building Grants to be awarded through a competitive 
process. This notice is the first amendment to the SGA and clarifies 
items related to (1) Eligible Applicants (Section III.A); (2) 
Participants Eligible to Receive Training (Section III.C.1); and, (3) 
Section B on Green Industries and Occupations (Supplementary 
Information). The document is hereby amended.
    (1) Section III.A, Eligible Applicants: The eligible applicant list 
in Section III, A. on p. 30167 is revised by removing the following 
grantee program, ``Advancing Registered Apprenticeship into the 21st 
Century: Collaborating for Success (SGA/DFA PY 08-11)'' because funding 
decisions for this program have not been made and resultant grantees 
will not be eligible to apply for funds through this SGA. Accordingly, 
Section III, A. on p. 30167 is revised by replacing the language 
designated below as ``old text'' with the language designated as ``new 
text'':
    Old Text: ``DOL intends to build the green training capacity of our 
current grantees, therefore, eligible applicants are limited to the 
following DOL grantees who received funding through the SGA number 
indicated in the parentheses: Indian and Native American Program (SGA/
DFA PY 07-04), National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) (SGA/DFA PY 06-
04), Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative (PRI) (SGA/DFA PY 08-03 & SGA/DFA PY 
07-05), Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) (SGA/DFA PY 
07-02 & SGA/DFA PY 05-06), Women in Apprenticeship and Non-Traditional 
Occupations (WANTO) (SGA/DFA PY 07-08 & SGA/DFA PY 06-01), Advancing 
Registered Apprenticeship into the 21st Century: Collaborating for 
Success (SGA/DFA PY 08-11), YouthBuild (SGA/DFA PY 08-07 & SGA/DFA PY 
06-08), and Young Offender Grants (SGA/DFA PY 08-09, SGA/DFA PY 06-10, 
& SGA/DFA PY 06-14).''
    New Text: ``DOL intends to build the green training capacity of our 
current grantees, therefore, eligible applicants are limited to the 
following DOL grantees who received funding through the SGA number 
indicated in the parentheses: Indian and Native American Program (SGA/
DFA PY 07-04), National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) (SGA/DFA PY 06-
04), Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative (PRI) (SGA/DFA PY 08-03 & SGA/DFA PY 
07-05), Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) (SGA/DFA PY 
07-02 & SGA/DFA PY 05-06), Women in Apprenticeship and Non-Traditional 
Occupations (WANTO) (SGA/DFA PY 07-08 & SGA/DFA PY 06-01), YouthBuild 
(SGA/DFA PY 08-07 & SGA/DFA PY 06-08), and Young Offender Grants (SGA/
DFA PY 08-09, SGA/DFA PY 06-10, & SGA/DFA PY 06-14).''
    (2) Section III.C.1, Participants Eligible to Receive Training: A 
portion of this section is revised to clarify that individuals with 
disabilities are among the populations that may be served. Accordingly, 
Section III.C.1 on p. 30167 is revised by replacing the language 
designated below as ``old text'' with the language designated as ``new 
text'':
    Old Text: ``Other individuals, such as untapped labor pools and 
entry-level and incumbent workers that do not fit into the categories 
above, may also be served through these projects subject to the 
priority considerations given to the populations above and consistent 
with the populations to be served through the grantee's statements of 
work for their existing grant(s).''
    Next Text: ``Other individuals, such as untapped labor pools 
including individuals with disabilities and entry-level and incumbent 
workers that do not fit into the categories above, may also be served 
through these projects subject to the priority considerations given to 
the populations above and consistent with the populations to be served 
through the grantee's statements of work for their existing grant(s).''
    (3) Supplementary Information Section B ``Green Industries and 
Occupations'': On p. 30166 is revised to provide further information on 
the industries in which applicants may focus and includes the following 
statement:
    New Text: ``We will also evaluate applications for projects that 
include emerging green occupations from industries that have not been 
discussed in this section.''
