Grantees must follow the requirements in this guidance to receive PY 2025 funding. Applications and all documents must be submitted through the Grants.gov website https www.grants.gov within 30 days from the issue date of this Training and Employment Guidance Letter TEGL . 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 2025 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 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 2025 grant allocation amounts 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 15 2025 the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act 2025 was signed into law authorizing continued FY 2025 appropriations for federal agencies and extending various expiring programs and authorities. The Act provides 60 million for the WIOA section 166 INA CSP program. Of this amount 600 000 will be set- aside for compliance training 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 . 2 The Act also provides 948 130 000 for PY 2025 WIOA Youth Activities. After reducing the appropriation by 10 230 000 for set asides authorized by the Act and reserving 925 200 for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker MSFW Youth 936 974 800 is available for WIOA Youth activities. Of this amount 1.5 percent is reserved for the WIOA Section 166 INA SYSP. Accordingly 14 054 622 is available for PY 2025 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.Details. a.Use of Updated U.S. Census Bureau Data in PY 2024 Funding Allotments and Hold- Harmless As required by WIOA ETA is using the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data available for the WIOA Section 166 INA Program 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 and pursuant to WIOA 20 CFR 684.270 c ETA continues to implement a three-year phase-in or hold-harmless methodology to adjust funding allotments resulting from use of the updated population data in the funding formula. The phase-in of updated Census data will prevent drastic losses in grantee funding amounts by limiting grantee losses to five percent in PY 2024 10 percent in PY 2025 and 20 percent in PY 2026 compared to the grantee s PY 2023 funding level. Accordingly for PY 2025 ETA will limit grantee funding losses to 10 percent of the grantee s PY 2023 funding amount after adjusting for the change in the PY 2025 funding appropriation amount. b.Submission Requirements ETA encourages application submission as soon as possible and within 30 days from the issue date of this TEGL.

S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration ETA WIOA Title I Sec. 166 Indian and Native American Program Applicable Funding Restrictions and Budget Narrative Instructions Funding Restriction Administrative Cost Limitation Request for an Administrative Cost Rate Above 15 Percent. Administrative costs are defined in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act regulations at 20 CFR 683.205 b and 20 CFR 683.215. The grant terms and conditions limit administrative costs for WIOA Indian and Native American Program INAP 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. Grantees must include the justification in a separate section within their Budget Narrative describing the conditions that exist within its organization that require an administrative cost rate above 15 percent. Such conditions may include i.The amount and nature of on-going direct and indirect administrative costs. ii.Local economic conditions such as the cost to rent space paying salaries that are competitive with other employers in the local area to attract qualified and experienced employees providing salary increases and other pay incentives to retain good employees. iii.The amount and nature of any uncontrollable increases in the grantee s current administrative costs that are unusual one-time expenses including significant increases to basic administrative cost components such as rent or staff salaries. Supporting documentation is required. iv.How the grantee already supplements the funds it receives from ETA for administrative expenditures with funds from other sources in order to meet its necessary administrative costs. Requirements for Explaining the SF-424A Line-Item Categories in the Budget Narrative reflective of Uniform Guidance revisions effective October 1 2024 Personnel List all staff positions by title including individuals hired by an employment contract including the roles and responsibilities. For each position give the annual salary the percentage of time devoted to the project and the amount of each position s salary funded by the grant. Fringe Benefits Provide a breakdown of the amounts and percentages that comprise fringe benefit costs such as health insurance FICA retirement etc. II-2 Travel For grantee staff only specify the purpose number of staff traveling mileage per diem estimated number of in-state and out-of-state trips and other estimated costs for each type of travel. Equipment Identify each item of equipment you expect to purchase that has an estimated acquisition cost of 10 000 or more per unit or if your capitalization level is less than 10 000 use your capitalization level and a useful lifetime of more than one year see 2 CFR 200.1 for the definition of Equipment . List the item quantity and the unit cost per item. Items with a unit cost of less than 10 000 are supplies not equipment. In general we do not permit the purchase of equipment during the last funded year of the grant. Supplies Identify the cost of supplies e.g. general office supplies desk chairs laptops printers other specialty items in the detailed budget per category. Except for general office supplies list the item quantity and the unit cost per item. Supplies include all tangible personal property other than equipment see 2 CFR 200.1 for the definition of Supplies . Contractual Under the Contractual line item delineate contracts and subawards separately. Contracts are defined according to 2 CFR 200.1 as a legal instrument by which a non-federal entity purchases property or services needed to carry out the project or program under a federal award. A subaward defined by 2 CFR 200.1 means an award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a federal award received by the pass-through entity. This should include payments to a contractor for third-party evaluations that are not already accounted for elsewhere if applicable. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a federal program. For each proposed contract and subaward specify the purpose and activities to be provided and the estimated cost. 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 you must show the costs on other appropriate lines such as Contractual. Other Provide clear and specific detail including costs for each item so that we can determine whether the costs are necessary reasonable and allocable. List items such as stipends or incentives not covered elsewhere. Indirect Costs If you include an amount for indirect costs through a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement or De Minimis on the SF-424A budget form then include one of the following a.If you have a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement NICRA provide an explanation of how the indirect costs are calculated. This explanation should include II-3 which portion of each line item along with the associated costs are included in your cost allocation base. Also provide a current version of the NICRA or b.If you intend to claim indirect costs using the 15 percent de minimis rate of modified total direct costs MTDC please confirm that your organization meets the requirements as described in 2 CFR 200.414 f . Clearly state that your organization does not have a current negotiated including provisional rate and is not one described in 2 CFR Part 200 Appendix VII D 1 b . Applicants choosing to claim indirect costs using the de minimis rate must use MTDC as their cost allocation base. Provide an explanation of which portion of each line item along with the associated costs are included in your cost allocation base. Note that there are various items not included in the calculation of MTDC. See the definition below to assist you in your calculation. Modified Total Direct Cost MTDC Definition To avoid a serious inequity in the distribution of indirect costs DOL defines MTDC as all direct salaries and wages applicable fringe benefits materials and supplies services travel and up to the first 50 000 of each subaward or subcontract regardless of the period of performance of the subawards and subcontracts under the award . MTDC excludes equipment capital expenditures charges for patient care rental costs tuition remission scholarships and fellowships participant support costs and the portion of each subaward or subcontract in excess of 50 000. Please note participant support costs are not included in modified total direct costs. As defined under 2 CFR 200.1 Participant Support Cost means direct costs that support participants and their involvement in a Federal award such as stipends subsistence allowances travel allowances registration fees temporary dependent care and per diem paid directly to or on behalf of participants. Additionally the following link contains information regarding the negotiation of Indirect Cost Rates at DOL https www.dol.gov agencies oasam centers-offices office-of-the- senior-procurement-executive cost-price-determination-division. Indirect-type costs such as top management salaries financial oversight human resources payroll personnel auditing costs accounting and legal etc. used for the general oversight and administration of the organization must not be classified as direct costs these types of costs are recovered as part of charging the de minimis or NICRA rate. Do not show leveraged resources on the SF-424 and SF-424A. You should describe leveraged resources in the Budget Narrative. Applicants must list the same requested federal grant amount on the SF-424 SF-424A and Budget Narrative.
