of the Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, grants, or other
agreements under the Act. The procedures shall include procedures for
handling complaints and grievances arising in connection with JTPA
programs operated by each SDA, SSG, and subrecipient under the Act

matters under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, the notice of hearing
shall indicate the nature of the violation(s) which the hearing covers.
