ADVISORY:       TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 6-18

TO:             ALL SECTION 166 INDIAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN (INA) GRANTEES

FROM:           MOLLY E. CONWAY /s/
                Acting Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:        Program Year (PY) 2018 Funding Allotments and Instructions for the INA
                Section 166 Programs

1. Purpose. To provide INA grantees with Comprehensive Services Program (CSP) and
   Supplemental Youth Services Program (SYSP) funding allotments for PY 2018 for the
   Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Section 166 programs, and to notify
   grantees of the required revisions to their Standard Form (SF) 424 – Application for Federal
   Assistance, SF 424A – Budget Information (Non-Construction Programs), and Budget
   Narrative. This TEGL also provides guidance on high carry-in of funding at the end of PY
   2018.

2. Action Requested. Grantees must submit a revised SF 424, 424A, and Budget Narrative
   using the funding amounts in Attachment I. The due date to submit the documents is 45 days
   from the issue date of this TEGL. However, grantees should submit the revised documents as
   soon as possible. Grantees must email the revised documents to their assigned Federal
   Project Officer listed in Section 5 of this TEGL.

3. Summary and Background. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) issued a
   Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on April 18, 2018 to announce the solicitation of
   applications for employment and training grants authorized under Section 166 of WIOA. As
   a result of the solicitation, 172 grantees are authorized a grant award with a total of
   $52,780,001 in CSP funds and $13,493,655 in SYSP funds being awarded to Federally-
   recognized tribes, tribal colleges, Native American non-profit organizations, Alaska Native
   organizations, and Native Hawaiian organizations throughout the United States. These
   grantees will receive one grant award annually for four consecutive years, subject to
   appropriated funding, starting in PY 2018 and continuing through PY 2021 (June 30, 2022).
   Future funding is allocated to grantees based on the formula described at 20 CFR 270 (b).
   Each annual grant award will have a 36-month period of performance.

 None                                                    Continuing

4. Grantee Expenditure Rates for PY 2018. ETA will place an emphasis on grantee
   expenditure rates in PY 2018 after observing high levels of carry-ins for PY 2017. Grantees
   must expend funds at a rate that will result in at least 80 percent of total available funds spent
   by the end of PY 2018 (June 30, 2019). Grantees should be aware that ETA will adjust their
   PY 2019 grant awards so that any amount of excess carry-in by the end of PY 2018 will be
   re-allocated to other INA grantees (see definition of carry-in at 20 CFR 684.130 and the
   reallocation of funds at 20 CFR 684.270 (d).
