3. Background. As of the issuance of this TEGL, Congress has not enacted a full-year appropriation
for fiscal year (FY 2017) for federal employment and training programs. Instead, the Further
Continuing and Security Appropriations Act, 2017 (2017 Act) will fund the government through
April 28, 2017. While there is uncertainty as to the appropriation that will ultimately be enacted,
funding amounts are being provided to INA grantees for planning purposes in order to submit an
application through Grants.gov. Accordingly, the Employment and Training Administration
(ETA) is issuing the attached estimated funding allotments for PY 2017.
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None Continuing
For the INA CS program, the 2017 Act provides a continuation of FY 2016 funding of $50 million
with a 0.1901 percent reduction. Therefore, assuming a full-year continuing resolution, the
funding estimate for PY 2017 for the CS program year, which begins July 1, 2017, is $49,904,950.
Of this amount, one percent ($499,050) will be set-aside for technical assistance and $497,000 will
be set-aside to award grants to entities that have experience and expertise in developing and
implementing programs for unique populations in Alaska and Hawaii pursuant to WIOA, Section
166(k). This leaves $48,908,900 to be allocated to INA grantees.
For the INA SYS program, the 2017 Act provides $869,275,636 after reductions for State Youth
Activities. The INA SYS program receives 1.5 percent of the State Youth Activities amount.
Therefore, the funding estimate for the SYS program year, which begins April 1, 2017, is
$13,039,135.
4. Required Documents For PY 2017 Funding. PY 2017 funds will be added to the existing grant
through a grant modification; however, to receive PY 2017 funds, INA grantees must submit the
documents listed below through Grants.gov. Instructions for submitting documents via Grants.gov
are provided in Attachment III. Grantees receiving both SYS and CS funds must submit a separate
set of documents for each set of funds, with the exception of indirect cost rate agreements/cost
allocation plans. Note: Federally recognized tribes that participate in Public Law 102-477 will
have their PY 2017 WIOA funds transferred to the Department of Interior (DOI), Bureau of Indian
Affairs, Office of Indian Services, Division of Workforce Development. These tribes are not
required to submit the documents below to ETA but should instead follow DOI’s requirements for
receiving funds.
A. Standard Form (SF) 424, Application for Federal Assistance: The SF-424 will be submitted/
uploaded through Grants.gov. Note: Grantees receiving both SYS and CS funds must submit
separate SF-424s for each set of funds.
B. SF-424A Budget Information Form: The SF-424A will be submitted/uploaded through
Grants.gov. Note: Grantees receiving both SYS and CS funds must submit separate SF-424As
for each set of funds.
C. Budget Narrative: The budget narrative will be submitted/uploaded as an attachment through
Grants.gov. Instructions for completing the budget narrative are provided in Attachment I.
Note: Grantees receiving both SYS and CS funds must submit separate budget narratives for
each set of funds.
D. Indirect Cost Rate Agreement or Cost Allocation Plan (if applicable): Grantees that use an
Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (ICRA) or Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) must submit a current or
recent copy of the ICRA or CAP as part of this application. Note: If indirect charges are
included on line 6.j of the SF-424A, an ICRA or CAP must be submitted unless the grantee
elects to charge a de minimis rate. ICRAs or CAPs will be submitted/uploaded as an
attachment through Grants.gov. Unlike the SF-424, SF-424A, and Budget Narrative, the
ICRA/CAP only needs to be submitted once even if the grantee receives both CS and SYS
funding.
5. Action Requested. Grantees must submit the documents listed below via Grants.gov in order to
receive PY 2017 funding. The due date for the submission of documents will be 45 days from the
posted date on Grants.gov.

ATTACHMENT I
Instructions for Completing the Budget Narrative
Use the following guidance below when writing the budget narrative.
IMPORTANT: If a total amount for each item listed below is included in the narrative, please be sure
the amount in the narrative matches the corresponding line items on the SF-424-A (line items 6.a
through 6.j).
Personnel – List all staff positions by title (both current and proposed). Provide the annual salary of
each position, the percentage of each position’s time devoted to the project, the amount of each
position’s salary funded by the grant and the total personnel cost for the program year.
Fringe Benefits – Provide a breakdown of the amounts and percentages that comprise fringe benefit
costs such as health insurance, FICA, retirement, etc.
Travel – Specify the purpose, mileage, per diem, estimated number of in-state and out-of-state trips and
other costs for each type of travel.
Equipment – Identify each item of equipment to be purchased which has an estimated acquisition cost
of $5,000 or more per unit and a useful life of more than 1 year (see 2 CFR 200.33 for the definition of
Equipment). List the quantity and unit cost per item. Items with a unit cost of less than $5,000 are
considered supplies.
Supplies – Supplies include all tangible personal property other than “equipment” (see 2 CFR 200.94
for the definition of Supplies). The detailed budget should identify categories of supplies (e.g. office
supplies). List the quantity and unit cost per item.
Contractual – Identify each proposed contract and specify its purpose and estimated cost. If
applicable, identify any sub-recipient agreements, including purpose and estimated costs.
Construction – Construction costs are not allowed and this line must be left as zero. Minor alterations
to adjust an existing space for grant activities (such as a classroom alteration) may be allowable. We do
not consider this as construction and the costs must be shown on other appropriate lines such as
Contractual.
Other – List each item in sufficient detail for us to determine whether the costs are reasonable or
allowable. List any item, such as stipends or incentives, not covered elsewhere here.
Indirect Charges – If indirect costs are included in the budget, then include the approved indirect cost
rate with a copy of the negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (ICRA). If your organization uses an
indirect cost rate then a negotiated ICRA must be in place no later than 90 days after the grant award
for approval of indirect charges. The following link contains DOL specific information:

ATTACHMENT III
Instructions for Submitting the SF-424, SF-424A and Indirect Cost
Rate Agreement via Grants.gov
All grantees must submit an electronically signed SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance), SF-
424A (Budget Information) and an Indirect Cost Rate Agreement or Cost Allocation Plan through
Grants.gov. Grantees receiving supplemental youth services funds must submit separate
documents for each funding allotment (adult and youth).
An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed document
and must reflect the grantee’s award amount in Attachment II.
Each SF-424 (Adult and Youth) must reflect the exact amount of the grantee’s allotment provided
in Attachment II on line item #18 of the SF-424. Any total amounts on the SF-424A and budget
narrative should also reflect the grantee’s allotment provided in Attachment II. Item #11 must
include the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the Indian and Native
American Program which is 17.265.
Note: To find the grant application package in Grants.gov, click on the “Search
Grants” tab and enter the CFDA number 17.265 in the CFDA search field.
This process can be complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, the Department strongly
encourages grantees to initiate the process as soon as possible and to allow for time to resolve
technical problems if necessary. For grantees that have not registered with Grants.gov, the
Department strongly recommends that grantees read the instructions for registering located at:
http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/register.html.
Grantees should read the registration process carefully before registering. These steps may take as
much as 4 weeks to complete, and this time should be factored into plans for electronic submission
in order to avoid unexpected delays that could result in the rejection of an application. The site
also contains registration checklists to help you walk through the process. The Department
strongly recommends that grantees download the “Organization Registration Checklist” at
http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration.html and prepare the
information requested before beginning the registration process. Reviewing and assembling
required information before beginning the registration process will alleviate last minute searches
for required information and save time.
All applicants for Federal grant and funding opportunities are required to have a Data Universal
Numbering System (D-U-N-S®) number, and must supply their D-U-N-S® number on the SF-424.
Before submitting an application for funding, grantees must register with the System for Award
Management (SAM), which has replaced the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). Instructions for
registering with SAM can be found at https://www.sam.gov.
Grantees must maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during
which they have an active Federal award or an application under consideration. To remain
registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, there is a requirement to review and
update the registration at least every 12 months from the date of initial registration or subsequently
update the information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate, and complete. Failure
to register with SAM and maintain an active account will result in Grants.gov rejecting your
submission.
The next step in the registration process is creating a username and password with Grants.gov to
become an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). AORs will need to know the D-U-
N-S number of the organization for which they will be submitting applications to complete this
process. To read more detailed instructions for creating a user name and password on Grants.gov
visit: http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-3-username-
password.html.
After creating a user name and password on Grants.gov, a representative from your organization,
who is the contact listed for SAM (referred to as the E-Biz POC), will receive an email to grant the
AOR permission to submit applications on behalf of their organization. The E-Biz POC will then
log in to Grants.gov and approve the AOR, thereby giving him or her permission to submit
applications. To learn more about AOR Authorization visit:
http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-4-aor-
authorization.html.
To track AOR status visit:

status.html.
Submitting through Grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424, Application for Federal
Assistance. The registration and account creation with Grants.gov, with E-Biz POC approval,
establishes an AOR. When you submit the SF-424 through Grants.gov, the name of your AOR on
file will be inserted into the signature line. Grantees must register the individual who is able to
make legally binding commitments as the AOR.
If grantees encounter a problem with Grants.gov and do not find an answer in any of the other
resources, call 1-800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035 to speak to a Customer Support Representative or
email [email protected]. The Contact Center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is closed
on federal holidays.
After troubleshooting with Grants.gov helpdesk, grantees should e-mail major issues preventing
submission of required documents to Marc Purvis, Grants Management Specialist, at
[email protected] with a copy to your FPO. That e-mail should specifically reference the
INAP TEGL’s Funding Opportunity Announcement number, and it should include a contact name,
email address, and phone number.
