for the national grants portion of the
Senior Community Service Employment
Program. The Department amended the
SGA to allow an extension of the
application deadline, which was
published in the Federal Register on
April 7, 2006 at 71 FR 17922. This

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Labor published a notice
to the SCSEP SGA (SGA/DFA–PY 05–
06) at 71 FR 10797 in an April 7, 2006
Federal Register Notice (71 FR 17922).
The Department extended the deadline
for applications with a notice published
in the Federal Register on April 7, 2006
at 71 FR 17922. The first amendment to
the SGA, a correction to Appendix K,
was published in the Federal Register
on March 26, 2006 at 71 FR 15768. As
VerDate Aug<31>2005

a result, several additional date changes
must also be amended. In addition,
through this notice, the Department is
also amending other sections of the
SCSEP SGA to exclude certain
requirements for organizations applying
under the Asian and Pacific Islander or
Indian funding categories. The SGA and
associated Federal Register notices can
be viewed on the https://
www.doleta.gov/seniors Web site. The
following additional amendments are
made to the SCSEP SGA that was
published on March 2, 2006 at 71 FR
10797:
(1) Section I ‘‘Funding Opportunity
Description’’ (page 10799) is amended
to read:
Right of first refusal. Under this
solicitation, all successful applicants
must allow the current participants to
remain in the program under the same
conditions in which they are found in
order to minimize disruptions to the
program. Therefore, although
participants may not elect to remain
under a former grantee, they must be
able to continue community service
work-based training with the same host
agency for a minimum of 90 days
beginning on August 1, 2006.
(2) Section II ‘‘Award InformationType of Assistance Instrument’’ (page
10800) is amended to change the grant
period from ‘‘an initial one year grant’’
to ‘‘an initial eleven (11) month grant.’’
The Department will allocate the full
appropriation available for national
grantees.
(3) Section II(B)(2) ‘‘Minimum
Request for Funding’’ (page 10800) is
amended to insert the following
paragraph after the fourth paragraph:
Organizations applying under the
Asian and Pacific Islander or Indian
funding categories are exempt from the
minimum funding requirement to apply
for 10 percent or $1.6 million of the
amount allocated in a state.
Organizations applying under these
categories are also exempt from the
provision that requires applicants to
apply for all of the positions allocated
in a county and the provision that
requires applicants to apply for
contiguous locations. However, the
Department believes that it becomes
increasingly difficult to provide
program oversight and the attendant
fiduciary duties if applicants under
these categories bid for less than 80
positions.
(4) Section II(C) ‘‘Period of
Performance’’ (page 10801) is amended
to change the start date of the program
from July 1, 2006 to August 1, 2006. In
addition, this section is amended to
change the initial period of performance

exempt from any of the SGA funding
requirements described in section II,

(6) Section III(C) ‘‘Ineligible
Applicants’’ (page 10802) is amended to
add paragraph (6), which reads as
follows:
Asian and Pacific Islander or Indian
organizations that apply under the
General (‘‘G’’) funding category and fail
to meet the funding requirements
described in section II that apply to all
applicants that apply under that
category.
(7) Section IV(B)(2) ‘‘Requirements for
the Cost Proposal’’ (page 10803) is
amended in the ‘‘note’’ at the end of
Section to change the cost proposal
coverage from ‘‘one (1) year’’ of program
operations to ‘‘eleven (11) months’’ of
program operations.
(8) Section IV(E) ‘‘Funding
Restrictions’’ (page 10803) is amended
by adding the following sentence to the
end of the paragraph:
Please note that organizations
applying under the Asian Pacific
Islander or Indian funding categories are
exempt from this requirement.
(9) Section VI(A) ‘‘Award Notices’’
(page 10807) is amended in the first two
sentences to read as follows:
The Department anticipates
completing its review and ranking of
proposals by late June 2006. The Grant
Officer expects to announce the results
of this competition no later than midJuly 2006.
(10) Section VIII(C) ‘‘Questions about
the Program or SGA’’ (page 10808)
amends the fifth sentence to change the
length of time that questions will be
received from ‘‘one month’’ to ‘‘two
months’’ after publication. Therefore,
the Department will accept and respond
to questions that are received up to and
including May 2, 2006. The Department
will not respond to questions received

E:\FR\FM\17APN1.SGM
17APN1
19758
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 73 / Monday, April 17, 2006 / Notices
at the end of the first paragraph to
change the date that the Grant Officer
expects to negotiate final slot
assignments from ‘‘the end of May’’ to
‘‘mid-July.’’
(12) Section VIII(E) ‘‘Transition of
Participants’’ (page 10808) is amended
as follows:
The first sentence is amended to
change the transition period from ‘‘June
1–June 30, 2006’’ to ‘‘August 1–
September 30, 2006.’’
The fourth sentence in the first
paragraph on the required time a

paragraph on the grantee payroll
responsibility date is changed from

Therefore, successful applicants may
plan to make the first payment to
participants in the first or second week
of October 2006.

and Responsibilities’’ is amended as
follows:
On page 10808, the second sentence

‘‘a minimum of 90 days.’’
