Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

of Labor seeks the extension of approval
to collect this information to determine
eligibility for benefits.

1701 et seq. Under section 1704(a) of the
WHCA, an insurance carrier or selfinsured who has paid workers’

Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA)
at 5 U.S.C. 8147. Form CA–278 is used
by insurance carriers and the selfinsured to request reimbursement. The
information collected is used by OWCP
staff to process requests for
reimbursement of WHCA benefit
payments and claims expense that are
submitted by insurance carriers and
self-insureds. The information is also

should opt to pay ongoing WHCA
benefits directly to the injured worker.

approved for use through August 31,
2010.

SUMMARY: The Employment and
Training Administration (ETA), U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL, or the
Department), announces the availability
of approximately $125 million in grant
funds for Community-Based Job
Training Grants (CBJTGs).
Community-Based Job Training
Grants will be awarded through a
competitive process to support
workforce training for high-growth/
high-demand industries through the
national system of community,
technical, and Tribal colleges. In order
to be eligible for consideration under
this solicitation, the applicant must be
either: (1) An individual Community or
Technical College, such as a public
community college, a nonprofit
community college, a Tribally
controlled college, or a Tribally
controlled university; (2) a Community
College District; (3) a State Community
College System; (4) a One-Stop Career
Center in partnership with its Local
Workforce Investment Board, that
specifies one or more community or
technical colleges where education/
training activities will occur; or (5) an
applicant proposing to serve an
educationally underserved community
without access to community or
technical colleges that meet the
requirements in section III.A.5. See
section III.A for additional information
related to eligible applicants.
It is anticipated that awards will range
generally from $1 million to $3 million.
The exception is that applicants that
include three or more community,
technical, or Tribal colleges will be
considered ‘‘consortium applications,’’
and may request an award ranging from
$1 million to $5 million. See section
III.B for additional information related
to consortium applications. ETA expects
to allot up to $50 million of the total
designated funds to organizations that
have never received a grant through a
CBJTG SGA.
This Solicitation provides background
information and describes the
application submission requirements,
outlines the process that eligible entities
must use to apply for funds covered by
this Solicitation, and details how
grantees will be selected. Applicants
ADDRESSES:

should read the entire SGA and note
specific sections that contain required
information, such as in section II.A,
section III.B, and section IV. B, where
failure to comply will be considered
non-responsive and those applicants
will then not be considered for funding.
The Department of Labor is
committed to providing the public with
an open and transparent grant selection
process and to providing useful
information to assist prospective
applicants with developing quality
proposals. One way to achieve these
goals is through public access to
selected and non-selected grant
applications. Applicants are advised
that the information they submit in
response to this solicitation may be
posted on a publicly accessible Web site
or may otherwise be made available to
the public.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Funding Opportunity Description
The Community-Based Job Training
Grants (CBJTGs) are designed to support
workforce training for high-growth/
high-demand industries through the
national system of community and
technical colleges. Grants under this
SGA will fund projects that provide
workers with education/training that
will prepare them to enter and advance
in high growth and emerging industries.
Successful education/training
programs funded through this SGA will
prepare participants for employment in
high growth and emerging industries,
and will: (1) Target skills and
competencies in demand by the
industries described in section I.B of
this SGA; (2) provide education/training
for jobs currently available or job
openings that are anticipated during the
life of the grant; (3) educate individuals
about opportunities for career

credential (which can include an
educational certificate or degree, an

workers, dislocated workers, and/or

within their career. ETA also encourages

services and leverage Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) core and/or
intensive services to help participants
