3.     Background. On December 18, 2015, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, P. L. 114-113
       (“2016 Appropriations Act”), was signed into law which provides $50,000,000 for Native
       American programs under section 166 of the WIOA. Of this amount, $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).
       Therefore, the total amount available for the Native American Comprehensive Services program is
       $49,503,000. This amount will be allocated to INA grantees using the formula in the Workforce
       Investment Act (WIA) regulations at 20 CFR 668.296(b). The transition provision at section
       503(b) of WIOA provides ETA authority to continue to use the formula at 20 CFR 668.296(b),
       which is consistent with the statutory provisions of WIOA, while the Department finalizes
       regulations governing the program under WIOA.

       The 2016 Appropriations Act also provides $873,416,000 for grants to States for WIOA youth
       activities. Pursuant to Section 127(b)(1)(A) of WIOA, not more than 1½ percent of this amount is
       to be used to provide youth workforce investment activities under section 166. Accordingly,
       $13,063,965 1 is available for PY 2016 to be allotted to INA grantees to provide supplemental
                     0F

       services to low-income Native American youth on or near Indian reservations and in Oklahoma,
       Alaska, and Hawaii. This amount will be allocated to INA grantees using the formula in the
       Workforce Investment Act (WIA) regulations at 20 CFR 668.440(b) per the transition authority
       under section 503(b) of WIOA.

       ETA will also use its transition authority under section 503(b) of WIOA to continue to use the
       existing WIA performance measures through PY 2016. This “transitional year” will allow
       additional time for ETA and INA grantees to develop a management information system that will
       collect the data necessary to calculate the new performance indicators under WIOA.

4.     New Grant Funding Cycle. WIOA changed the strategic planning cycle and the competition
       from two year intervals to four-year intervals. Therefore, in order to implement and align the shift
       to a 4-year strategic plan and a 4-year competition, the Department is extending current grantee
       strategic plans through PY 2017 to align the next competition cycle, which will be for the 4-year
       period beginning in PY 2018 through PY 2021. Because the previous grant cycle only runs until
       the start of PY 2016, grantees will receive a new grant number for PY 2016 and PY 2017 that will
       bridge the gap caused by this extension. The next planning and competition process will begin
       during PY 2017 for a new cycle starting PY 2018. The transition provisions at WIOA Section
       503(b) provide ETA’s authority to offer this extension.

    5. Reporting Software. As outlined in the Operational Guidance in TEGL 11-15, the age range of
    youth eligible to receive supplemental youth services under section 166 has increased from 14 to
    21 under WIA to 14 to 24 under WIOA. The Bear Tracks youth software was developed under
    WIA; therefore, the software’s design does not allow youth older than 21 to be entered into the
    database. The Department is working to modify the software to allow youth up to age 24 to be
    entered into the database in accordance with the new youth eligibility requirements. A new release
    of the software is expected in the summer of 2016.

6. Youth Living in High-Poverty Areas. As outlined in TEGL 11-15, INA grantees may consider
   youth living in a high poverty area as low-income. Prior to the effective date of the WIOA final
   rule, INA grantees may define “youth living in a high-poverty area.” The WIOA Proposed Rules
   provide a definition of high-poverty area at section 684.130 as: “a census tract, a set of contiguous
   census tracts, or a county or Indian reservation that has a poverty rate of at least 30 percent as set
   every 5 years using the American Community Survey 5-Year data.” Although grantees are not
   required to use the definition of high-poverty area in section 684.130 of the Proposed Rules,
   DINAP has provided a poverty table for American Indian Reservations, Oklahoma Tribal
   Statistical Areas (OTSAs) and Alaska Native Regional Corporations (ANRCs) on the Community
   of Practice website located at:
   https://ina.workforcegps.org/resources/2016/04/06/18/14/Youth_Program_Poverty_Guidelines.
   Grantees may want to use this table when establishing a threshold for high poverty area.

7. Required Documents For PY 2016 Funding. To receive PY 2016 funds, INA grantees must
   submit the following documents to be approved by ETA through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. eastern
   time (ET) on June 10, 2016. Instructions for submitting documents via Grants.gov are provided in
   Attachment III. Grantees receiving supplemental youth services funds must submit a separate set
   of documents for the supplemental youth services allotment. (Note: Grantees whose WIOA
   Section 166 funds have been transferred to the Department of the Interior under Public Law
   102-477 are not required to submit the documents below.)

   A. Standard Form (SF) 424, “Application for Federal Assistance: The SF-424 will be submitted/
      uploaded through Grants.gov.

   B. SF-424A Budget Information Form: The SF-424A will be submitted / uploaded through
      Grants.gov.

   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.

   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. ICRAs or CAPs will
      be submitted / uploaded as an attachment through Grants.gov. Unlike the SF-424, the SF-424A,
      and the Budget Narrative, the ICRA/CAP only needs to be submitted once even if the grantee
      receives both comprehensive and supplemental funding.

8. Performance Accountability and Recommended Levels of Performance for PY 2016. WIOA
   established new primary indicators of performance which will require changes in data collection
   systems at both the grantee level and within ETA. Therefore, the Department will continue to use
   the PY 2014 and PY 2015 performance measures for PY 2016 for performance accountability
   purposes as the conversion of these data collection systems and requirements for grantee reporting
   continue to be implemented into PY 2016. Section 503(b) grants the Department authority to
   continue to use these performance measures as the program transitions to the performance
   accountability provisions in sec. 116 of WIOA. The new primary indicators of performance are
   listed in section 116(b)(2)(A) of WIOA. Guidance will be forthcoming on the specific definitions,

                                                    3

data elements and reporting requirements pertaining to each indicator. Grantees are encouraged to
begin planning for data collection for these indicators.

The applicable performance measures for PY 2016 are:

Entered Employment Rate (EER): Each Section 166 grantee has a recommended level of
performance for the EER for their geographic service area. The recommended level of performance
for the EER will remain the same in PY 2016 as in PY 2014 and PY 2015. Grantees can find the
recommended EER on line N of the grantee’s 2014 Performance Standards Worksheet located in
the “PY 2014.pdf” file located at the following link:
https://ina.workforcegps.org/resources/2015/02/18/19/47/Entered_Employment_Rate_Worksheets

NOTE: The link above includes Performance Standards Worksheets for all WIOA Section 166
grantees (approximately 123 pages). Please be sure the grantee name on line A matches your
organization when obtaining the recommended level of performance.

Employment Retention: The PY 2016 recommended level of performance for Employment
Retention for all grantees is 78.2 percent which is the same level as PY 2014. This is the level
established for the Section 166 program overall and does not factor in local economic conditions
nor does it factor in the characteristics of the participants served. Since a recommended individual
level of performance for Employment Retention has not been established, ETA will not hold
grantees accountable for not meeting the Employment Retention Rate at the end of PY 2016.
However, grantees must strive to achieve a 78.2 percent Employment Retention Rate.

Average Earnings: The PY 2016 recommended level of performance for Six Months’ Average
Earnings for all grantees is $10,377, which is the same level as PY 2014. This is the national level
established for the Section 166 program overall and also does not factor in local economic
conditions or the characteristics of participants served. Thus, a recommended level of performance
for Six Months’ Average Earnings has not been established for individual grantees. ETA will not
hold Section 166 grantees accountable for not meeting the Six Months’ Average Earnings at the
end of PY 2015. However, grantees must strive to achieve a $10,377 Six Months’ Average
Earnings.

  Six Months’ Average Earnings                 $10,377

Youth Program Only - Attainment of Two or More Goals: The PY 2016 level of performance
for the Attainment of Two or More Goals for the Supplemental Youth Services (SYS) program is
60 percent which is the same level as PY 2014 (see table below).

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 period of performance.

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 lifetime of more than one 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 (NICRA). If your
organization uses an indirect cost rate then a NICRA 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). The link to access this Funding Opportunity in
Grants.gov is http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html. Please type “TEGL 24-15” in
the keyword search field.

An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed document
and must reflect the grantee’s award amount in Attachment II. The closing date for receipt of
documents is June 10, 2016.

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 and the SF-424A. 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 the grantee immediately initiate and complete the “Get
Registered” registration steps at http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/register.html.

Grantees should read through the registration process carefully before registering. These steps may
take as much as four 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, 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

                                                1

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 profile on Grants.gov visit:
http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-3-username-
password.html

After creating a profile 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:
http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-5-track-aor-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, seven days a week. It is
closed on federal holidays.

Grantees should e-mail all submission questions to Marc Purvis, Grants Management Specialist, at
[email protected] and reference the specific Funding Opportunity Announcement number, and
include a contact name, email address, and phone number.
