                  Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:          Changes to Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Numbers

1. Purpose. To alert Employment and Training Administration (ETA) grantees of multiple
changes to CFDA numbers for existing ETA programs beginning in Program Year (PY) 2010.

2. References.
    • Grant Agreements
    • Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement
    • 29 CFR Part 96
    • CFDA published by the General Services Administration (GSA)

3. Background. The CFDA (at Internet website URL:<https://www.cfda.gov/index>) is
maintained by GSA and contains reference numbers for funds appropriated by Congress. The
Federal government manages appropriated funding using CFDA numbers. OMB Circular A-133
and grant agreements require grantees to track, report, and account for funding by CFDA
number. To provide better transparency and accountability for Federal funds, ETA has split the
CFDA number associated with Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Dislocated Worker funds
(CFDA number 17.260) into four new CFDA numbers. The new CFDA numbers apply for this
PY (2010) and subsequent program years. This change impacts only one of many existing CFDA
numbers associated with ETA programs.

4. Change to CFDA Number 17.260 Dislocated Workers

CFDA number 17.260 WIA Dislocated Workers (DW) will no longer be used on new grants
associated with the WIA DW appropriation. For all such grants issued from the WIA DW
appropriation after June 30, 2010, the following numbers will be used:

-17.277 WIA National Emergency Grants
-17.278 WIA Dislocated Worker Formula Grants
-17.280 WIA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Demonstration Grants

 RESCISSIONS                                            EXPIRATION DATE
 None                                                   Continuing
-17.281 WIA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Technical Assistance and Training

Grants awarded prior to July 1, 2010, will continue to use CFDA number 17.260 during the life
of their funds; therefore, no modifications of existing grants will be necessary.

5. Action Requested. Please update your systems and processes accordingly.

6. Inquiries. Contact Anita Harvey (202) 693-3958 or David J. Litvin (202) 693-2693 with any
questions.
