DINAP BULLETIN 95-20
Operation of Summer Youth Programs during 1996
To transmit operating instructions for those grantees planning to operate JTPA title II-B Summer Youth services/activities during the summer of 1996.
Reference. DINAP Bulletins Nos. 95-03 and 95-12. Background. As was stated in DINAP Bulletin No. 95-03, there will be no new title II-B appropriations from which to allot new funds to eligible grantees for the summer of 1996, although summer youth activities remain allowable under the Act. As also stated in that bulletin, grantees with unspent title II-B funds may carry them over to the summer of 1996 to provide allowable summer youth activities/services. Because no new funds have been appropriated under title II-B for summer youth programs, section 401 grantees are not required to submit a Summer Plan. However, those grantees who have sufficient carry-over title II-B funds to provide summer program activities during 1996 must submit a formal modification requesting Grant Officer approval (see MOD attachment). Action. Grantees planning to use title II-B funds to provide allowable Summer Youth activities during the summer of 1996 must submit a formal modification to the Department of Labor by April 12, 1996. Mail modifications to: U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Division of Indian and Native American Programs Room N-4641 FPB 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20210 ATTENTION: MIS DESK This modification should clearly state that the grantee intends to expend title II-B funds carried over to provide allowable Summer Youth activities during the summer of 1996. Grantees must also complete a Budget Information Summary (BIS) form indicating the level of Federal funds to be devoted to the 1996 summer program. To utilize title II-B funds appropriated prior to 1995 (under the now-expired 99-1/B-3 grants), grantees should have submitted a modification according to the instructions contained in DINAP Bulletin No. 95-12. If a modification request to transfer title II-B funds from expired grant periods to the current grant has not been submitted, it must be prior to the submission of a modification requesting approval to provide Summer Youth activities in 1996 with II-B carry-over funds. All previously-issued rules, regulations, and statutory requirements for the title II-B program remain in effect during 1996, including reporting requirements. Grantees are reminded that only Federal (JTPA) funds utilized for 1996 title II-B activities need to be accounted for in the summer Financial Status Report. Questions.
