BILLING CODE 4410-31-M DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA); Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Labor. ACTION: Notice; additional information and correction. SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration published a document in the **Federal Register** on April 1, 2005, concerning the availability of grant funds for eligible faith-based and community organizations under the Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative: SGA/DFA PY-04-08. This is to make the following clarifications and corrections to SGA/DFA PY-04-08: 1. The SGA intended that Workforce Investment Boards
(WIBs)would have a supportive role in this project rather than be the lead agency, and this is to provide clarification that WIBs are not eligible applicants for this SGA. Further, the requirement for a letter of support from the WIB is intended simply to demonstrate that the WIB will play a supportive role in the project by providing employment services for released prisoners in One-Stop Centers. DOL encourages WIBs to work with any faith-based or community organization
(FBCO)that wishes to apply for these grants. FBCOs who have not received a letter from the WIB may instead demonstrate in its proposal the steps that they have taken to secure such a letter. 2. Page 16855 of the SGA indicates that applicants should limit the share of funds for program administration, including technical assistance and oversight, to 10 percent of the amount for which they are applying. We are modifying this to 15 percent of the amount for which you are applying. 3. Page 16859 of the SGA indicates that an FBCO can be listed as a sub-grantee in more than one application, but that they will only be able to receive a sub-grant award from one grant. This was too restrictive and there are instances in which it would be appropriate for an FBCO or other organization to be awarded a sub-grant in two or more grants. The SGA is now modified to allow an FBCO or other organization to receive a sub-grant award in more than one grant. 4. Page 16860 of the SGA indicates that applicants may apply online at *http://www.grants.gov.* The mandatory form SF 424A has just been added for download. If you have previously downloaded the application package, please download the package again. If you do not download the package with the SF 424A, Grants.gov will reject your application submission with errors.

(PY)2005 Wagner-Peyser Act Final Planning Allotments AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This Notice announces PY 2005 final planning allotments for PY 2005 (July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006) for basic labor exchange activities provided under the Wagner-Peyser Act. ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this notice to Anthony D. Dais, U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room S-4231, Washington, DC 20210; or transmit via fax 202-693-3015 (this is not a toll-free number). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anthony D. Dais, at phone number
(202)693-2784 (this is not a toll free number) or E-mail address: *dais.anthony@dol.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 6(b)(5) of the Wagner-Peyser Act, 29 U.S.C. 49e(b)(5), the Employment and Training Administration is publishing final planning allotments for each state for PY 2005 (July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006). Preliminary planning estimates were published in **Federal Register** Volume 70, No. 57, page 15515 on March 25, 2005. Funds are distributed in accordance with formula criteria established in section 6(a) and
(b)of the Wagner-Peyser Act. Civilian labor force
(CLF)and unemployment data for Calendar Year 2004 are used in making the formula calculations. The total amount of funds currently available for distribution is $746,301,440. The Secretary of Labor shall set aside up to 3 percent of the total available funds to assure that each state will have sufficient resources to maintain statewide One-Stop Career Centers' labor exchange activities, as required by section 6(b)(4) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. 49e(b)(4). In accordance with this provision, $21,849,043 is set aside for administrative formula allocation. These funds are included in the total planning allotment. The funds that are set aside are distributed in two steps to states, which have lost in relative share of resources from the prior year. In Step 1, states which have a CLF below one million and are below the median CLF density are maintained at 100 percent of their relative share of prior year resources. The remainder is distributed in Step 2 to all other states losing in relative share from the prior year, but which do not meet the size and density criteria for Step 1. Postage costs incurred by states during the conduct of the Wagner-Peyser funded labor exchange activities are billed directly to the Department of Labor by the U.S. Postal Service. The total final planning allotment reflects $18,000,000, or 2.1 percent of the total amount available, withheld from distribution to finance postage costs. Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. 49f(b), ten percent of the total sums allotted to each state shall be reserved for use by the Governor to provide performance incentives for One-Stop Career Centers and programs; services for groups with special needs; and for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering job services. Differences between preliminary planning estimates and final planning allotments are caused by the use of calendar year 2004 data as opposed to the earlier data (12 months ending September 2004) used for preliminary planning estimates. Dated at Washington, DC, this 18th day of May, 2005. Emily Stover DeRocco, Assistant Secretary, Employment and Training Administration.
