Welfare-to-Work Competitive Grants

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor.

ACTION: Notice of reduced fund availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On January 26, 1999, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), 
Employment and Training Administration, (ETA) announced the third round 
of competitive grants under the Welfare-to-Work (WtW) grant program (64 
FR 4010). The announcement described the conditions under which 
applications will be received under the WtW Competitive Grants program 
and how DOL/ETA planned to determine which applications to fund. 
Approximately $240 million was announced as available for WtW 
competitive grants under the Round Three announcement. This notice is 
to announce that the amount available for this competition has been 
reduced to approximately $200 million.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cherly Turner, Welfare-to-Work, Room C-4524, 200 Constitution Avenue, 
NW, Washington, DC. 20210. Telephone: [phone] (this is not a 
toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Of the $240 million originally announced as 
available for Round Three WtW competitive grants, up to $20 million has 
been set aside for an award to a single private entity to carry out the 
WtW Census 2000 Employment Project. This reduction leaves approximately 
$220 million available to be awarded as Round Three WtW competitive 
grants and is likely to reduce the number of grants to be awarded in 
Round Three by approximately five grant awards. The Solicitation for 
Grant Applications for the WtW Census 2000 Employment Project was 
published in the Federal Register on May 14, 1999 at 64 FR 26440.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on June 3, 1999.
