To provide sufficient funds for evaluation training and assistance and other activities authorized under Section 502 e for PY 2008 the Department has determined that it must exercise its discretionary authority provided in section 506 a 1 of the OAA and reserve a percentage of PY 2008 appropriated SCSEP funds. While the statute provides authority to reserve up to 1.5 the Department is reserving less than 1 to support activities authorized in section 502 e . As a result of this reservation we must recalculate the funding allocation and authorized position tables previously issued in TEGL 26-07. To exercise this authority the Department hereby rescinds the Attachment H funding allocation and authorized position tables provided in TEGL 26-07 published on April 29 2008 and publishes this new TEGL with a revised Attachment H. On July 1 2008 the grant officer will issue PY 2008 grants based on the allocations in Attachment H as revised. The grant will contain the condition that revised budgets must be submitted to DOL in accordance with the requirements of this TEGL and incorporated into the PY 2008 grant by October 31 2008. 4.
