We will not accept applications through the mail email or fax. For Federally recognized tribes that participate in Public Law 102-477 the Employment and Training Administration ETA will transfer PY 2024 WIOA Section 166 INA Program funds to the Department of the Interior DOI Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Indian Services Division of Workforce Development. These tribes are not required to submit the documents requested in this Training and Employment Guidance Letter TEGL but should instead follow DOI s requirements for receiving funds. 3.Summary and Background. a.Summary - ETA is issuing this TEGL to 1 notify WIOA INA Program grantees of PY 2024 grant allocations 2 provide submission requirements to receive grant funding and 3 describe the process for requesting an increase in the administrative cost limit. b.Background On March 23 2024 the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act 2024 Public Law 118-47 was signed into law authorizing a full-year fiscal year 2024 appropriations. The Act provides 60 million for the WIOA Section 166 INA Programs. Of this amount 600 000 will be set-aside for technical assistance pursuant to 20 CFR 684.270 e . Therefore the total amount available for the INA CSP is 59 400 000. This amount will be allocated to INA Program grantees using the formula at 20 CFR 684.270 b . The Act also provides approximately 948 130 000 for grants to states for WIOA Youth activities. After reducing the appropriation by 3 131 000 for set asides authorized by the 2 Act and reserving 925 200 for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker MSFW Youth 944 073 800 is available and 1 percent of this amount is reserved for the WIOA Section 166 INA SYSP. Accordingly 14 161 107 is available for PY 2024 SYSP and will be allotted to INA Program grantees to provide supplemental services to low-income Native American youth on or near Indian reservations and in Oklahoma Alaska and Hawaii. ETA will allocate SYSP funds to WIOA INA Program grantees using the formula described in the WIOA regulations at 20 CFR 684.440. 4. U.S. Census Bureau Data used for Calculating PY 2024 Funding Allotments and Hold- Harmless Process. For PY 2024 as required by WIOA ETA is using the U.S. Census Bureau s 2014-2018 American Community Survey data for the WIOA Section 166 INA Pr ogram allotment formula. The updated WIOA Service Delivery Area data along with CSP and SYSP Census numbers can be found at dol.gov agencies eta dinap census. To minimize program disruptions ETA is implementing a h old-harmless or phase-in approach to adjusting funding allotments resulting from use of the updated population data in the funding formula. Pursuant to WIOA 20 CFR 684.270 c ETA is applying the hold-harmless approach after consulting with the grantee community and the Native American Employment and Training Council beginning with the PY 2024 funding allotments. The hold-harmless or phase-in process compares each grantee s relative share or percentage of the Census data s total relevant population to the grantee s relative share percentage not dollars of the prior year s PY 2023 funding allotments. Therefore when the hold-harmless is applied a grantee will receive funding for PY 2024 based on no less than 95 percent of their prior year relative share percentage not dollars . Additionally the hold-harmless approach will be in effect over a three-year period PY 2024 through PY 2026 applied against the prior year relative share percentage not dollars . The hold-harmless levels for the CSP and SYSP will be 95 percent for PY 2024 90 percent for PY 2025 and 80 percent for PY 2026. In PY 2027 all grantees will receive funding that reflects their actual relative share based on the updated data provided by the U. S. Census Bureau. a.Submission Requirements. Grantees must use the funding allotment amounts in Attachment I of this TEGL ensuring their amount is reflected across all documents included in the application package. The application package must include the SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance the SF-424A Budget Information form and a Budget Narrative describing the projected costs entered for each line item of the SF-424A.

Grantees receiving both CSP and SYSP funds will receive a separate grant for each therefore grantees must submit separate application packages for each set of funds under the associated funding opportunity numbers in Grants.gov Applications for INAP Adult funding submit under ETA-INAP-TEGL-1 6-2 3-IA Applications for INAP Youth funding submit under ETA-INAP-TEGL-1 6-2 3-IY 3 Grantees must submit the SF-424 SF-424A and Budget Narrative and a NICRA or Cost Allocation Plan if applicable within 30 days from the issue date of this TEGL. i.Request for an Administrative Cost Rate Above 15 Percent. Administrative costs are defined in the WIOA regulations at 20 CFR 683.215. The grant terms and conditions limit administrative costs for INA grants to 15 percent. However ETA will approve administrative cost rates of more than 15 percent but not greater than 20 percent when the grantee submits acceptable justification.
