3.    Background. This Change 1 to TEGL 23-16 revises the youth funding allotments in Attachment
      II of TEGL 23-16 as a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, Pub. L. 115-31 which
      was signed into law on May 5, 2017. At the time TEGL 23-16 was issued, Congress had not
      enacted a full-year appropriation for fiscal year (FY 2017) for federal employment and training
      programs. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, which was signed into law on May 5th, (from this
      point forward, referred to as “the Act”) provides final appropriations for FY 2017.


     RESCISSIONS                                          EXPIRATION DATE
     None                                                 Continuing


     The Act provides $50 million for the INA CS program but allows the Secretary to set aside up to
     0.5 percent of this amount to fund activities related to program integrity. In addition, $507,000 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) and $334,100 will be set-aside for technical assistance.

     In order to avoid further decreases in the individual grantee funding amounts for the CS (adult)
     program, the 0.5 percent set-aside for program integrity activities and the additional $10,000 set-
     aside for grants awarded under Sec. 166(k) will be absorbed by reducing the set-aside for technical
     assistance. As a result, the CS (adult) grantee allotment amounts provided in TEGL 23-16
     Attachment II will not change.

     The Act provides $866,560,920 after reductions for program integrity activities 1 and evaluations
     under state youth activities. Since the INA SYS program receives 1.5 percent of the state youth
     activities amount, the funding amount for the SYS program year, which begins April 1, 2017, is
     $12,998,414. This is a decrease of $40,721 from the amount provided in TEGL 23-16 but unlike
     the CS program; adjustments cannot be made to the SYS program to absorb this decrease.
     Therefore, the individual grantee funding amounts for the SYS program provided in attachment I
     of this Change I TEGL are slightly less than the amounts in Attachment II of TEGL 23-16.

4.   Action Requested. Grantees that receive SYS (youth) funds must submit a revised application for
     the youth program (revised SF-424, revised SF-424A and revised Budget Narrative) through
     Grants.gov in order to reflect the reduced amount of youth funding. The direct link to submit a
     revised application on grants.gov is: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-
     opportunity.html?oppId=292378. The due date for the submission of these revised documents will
     be 45 days from the issue date of this TEGL however grantees should submit the revised
     documents as soon as possible. The Grant Office will begin awarding INA youth funds as soon as
     possible regardless of whether the revised documents have been submitted.

     IMPORTANT: No action is necessary for grantees that receive CS (adult) funds ONLY.

5.   Inquiries. Please direct questions to your designated Federal Project Officer below.
