SUBJECT:        Change 1 to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 1-17,
                Dislocated Worker Opportunity Grants

1. Purpose. To correct the timeframe during which the funds will be available for expenditure,
   which was provided in the last paragraph of Section 6, at the bottom of page 4. The TEGL
   incorrectly states that the period of expenditure is June 30, 2017 through September 30, 2019.
   The paragraph should read as follows:

        “The period of performance for DW Opportunity Grants is two years, and grant
        funds will be available for expenditure from October 1, 2017 through
        September 30, 2019. However, the Department reserves the right to provide
        period of performance extensions beyond this date, as it deems appropriate and
        necessary, to achieve the purposes of these awards.”

   appropriate staff and potential grant applicants.

4. Inquiries. Please direct all inquiries to the appropriate Regional Office.
