ADVISORY: TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 22-20
TO: ALL SECTION 166 INDIAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN GRANTEES
FROM: SUZAN G. LEVINE
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Program Year (PY) 2021 Funding Allotments and Instructions for the Indian and Native
American (INA) Programs
1. Purpose. To provide INA grantees with Comprehensive Services Program (CSP) and Supplemental
Youth Services Program (SYSP) funding allotments for PY 2021 for the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA) Section 166 programs, and to notify grantees of the required submission of
Standard Form (SF) 424 – Application for Federal Assistance, SF 424A – Budget Information (Non-
Construction Programs), and Budget Narrative.
2. Action Requested. Grantees must follow the requirements in this guidance to receive PY 2021
funding. Applications and all documents must be submitted through the Grants.gov website at
www.grants.gov. We will not accept applications through the mail, email, or fax. For federally
recognized tribes that participate in Public Law 102-477, the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) will transfer PY 2021 WIOA funds to the Department of the Interior (DOI),
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Indian Services, Division of Workforce Development. These
tribes are not required to submit the documents requested in this TEGL but should instead follow
DOI’s requirements for receiving funds.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary - This document provides grantees with guidance and information including:
INA grantee funding amounts for PY 2021;
How to submit an application through Grants.gov for PY 2021 funding;
Process for requesting an increase in the administrative cost limit.
b. Background - On December 27, 2020, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act;
2021 (H.R. 133). This Act provides $55,500,000 for INA programs under Section 166 of the
WIOA. Of this amount, one percent ($555,000) will be set-aside for technical assistance pursuant
to 20 CFR 684.270(e) of the WIOA regulations. Therefore, the total amount available for the INA
CSP is $54,945,000. This amount will be allocated to INA grantees using the formula at 20 CFR
684.270(b).
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None Continuing
The Act also provides $921,130,000 for grants to states for WIOA Youth activities and 1½ percent
of this amount is reserved for the INA youth program, SYSP. Accordingly, $13,778,655 is
available for PY 2021 and will be allotted to INA grantees to provide supplemental services to
low-income Native American youth on or near Indian reservations and in Oklahoma, Alaska, and
Hawaii.1 ETA will allocate funds to INA grantees using the formula in the WIOA regulations at
20 CFR 684.440.
4. Submission Requirements. Grantees must use the funding allotment amounts in Attachment I of this
TEGL when submitting the SF 424, 424A and Budget Narrative. Grantees that have an indirect cost
rate must also submit a copy of their negotiated indirect cost rate agreement (NICRA) or cost
allocation plan (if applicable). Grantees receiving both CSP and SYSP funds must submit a separate
SF 424, 424A and Budget Narrative for each set of funds. In addition, grantees that would like to
request an administrative cost limit above 15 percent but not more than 20 percent must submit such a
request with the application. See section 5 below for additional information on submitting a request
for an increase in the administrative cost limit. Grantees that have made significant program design
changes or significant changes in WIOA program activities must also submit a revised four-year
strategic plan.
Grantees must submit the SF 424, 424A, and Budget Narrative (and a NICRA or Cost Allocation Plan
if applicable) within 30 days from the issue date of this TEGL.
a. Request for an Administrative Cost Rate Above 15 Percent. The grant terms and conditions
limit administrative costs for INA grants to 15 percent. However, ETA will approve administrative
cost rates in excess of 15 percent, but no more than 20 percent, when the grantee submits
acceptable justification. Grantee must describe the conditions that exist within its organizations
that require an administrative cost rate above 15 percent. Examples of the conditions that ETA
will consider are:
The amount and nature of on-going direct and indirect administrative costs.
Local economic conditions such as the cost to rent space, paying salaries that are competitive with
other employers in the local area in order to attract qualified and experienced employees,
providing salary increases and other pay incentives to retain good employees.
The amount and nature of any uncontrollable increases in its existing essential administrative costs
that are unusual one-time expenses, including significant increases to basic administrative cost
components such as rent or staff salaries. (Supporting documentation is required.)
How the grantee already supplements the funds it receives from ETA for administrative
expenditures with funds from other sources in order to meet its necessary administrative costs.
Administrative costs are defined in the WIOA regulations at 20 CFR 683.215.
b. Grants.gov Submission Process. Grantees must submit the documents described in section 4
above through Grants.gov. Grantees must also submit any requests for an administrative cost rate
increase described in section 5 above through www.grants.gov. In order to submit documents
through Grants.gov, you, or someone in your organization, must be registered as an Authorized
1
$2,553,000 of the WIOA Youth appropriation is reserved for set-asides authorized by the Act, therefore, the INA
Youth program will receive 1.5 percent of $918,577,000.

Submitting the SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424,

to initiate the process as soon as possible in order to allow time to resolve unanticipated technical
problems.
Submission requirements stipulate that all applicants for Federal grant and funding opportunities
must have a Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S®) number, and must supply their D-U-
N-S® number on the SF-424. We strongly encourage grantees to be consistent in using the same
D-U-N-S and Employer Identification Number (EIN) that was used in the PY 2020 grant
application. If you do not know the D-U-N-S and EIN you used for PY 2020, please contact your
Federal Project Officer to get the D-U-N-S and EIN.
Please be aware that you cannot submit an application to Grants.gov if your organization does not
have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Grantees can find out if
they have an active SAM registration by going to: www.sam.gov and clicking on the Search
Records tab. Then enter your organizations D-U-N-S and click on the SEARCH button. For
