DINAP BULLETIN 95-24
The Status of Summer Youth Programs in 1996
To transmit instructions for submission of required documents for title II-B Summer Youth programs for the summer of 1996.
Reference. DINAP Bulletins Nos. 95-03; 95-12; 95-18; and 95-20. Background. On Thursday, July 27, 1995, the President signed the 1995 rescission bill, which became Public Law 104-19. This act eliminated all new funding for JTPA title II-B programs for the summer of 1996. However, as a result of input from a wide variety of sources, Congress became convinced of the importance of the Summer Youth program and agreed to restore some $625 million in JTPA title II-B funds for the summer of 1996. Approximately $11.4 million of this total is available to those section 401 grantees who qualify for title II-B funds. Policy. As stated in DINAP Bulletin No. 95-03 (now rescinded), all carry-in limits previously issued for title II-B funds are hereby withdrawn, including limits imposed on the deobligation of II-B funds from the now-expired 99-1/B-3 grants to the new B-5 grants which (for title II-B purposes) became effective on May 15, 1995. Grantees operating Summer Youth programs during 1996 must submit a Summer Plan for DOL approval, and will be expected to report on the expenditure of Federal funds (Financial Status Report) and program outcomes (Program Status Summary), as previously instructed, by November 15, 1996. Action. Attached are individual allocation levels for those grantees eligible to receive JTPA title II-B funds for the summer of 1996. These grantees need to submit new CY 1996 title II-B planning documents as soon as possible, due to the extremely short lead time remaining for processing and funding. To facilitate this effort, the Department will require only the following documents with the 1996 Summer Plans: (1) a new Budget Information Summary (BIS), showing actual title II-B carry-in amounts from the summer of 1995 (regardless of funds source); (2) a new Program Planning Summary (PPS); (3) a new grant signature sheet (attached), with the appropriate boxes checked under the Summer Plan section; and (4) a new narrative portion, if?necessary. Grantees wishing to omit the narrative and operate essentially the same title II-B program as they operated during 1995 need only check line a. "Program substantially unchanged from CY 1995". Because the procedures accompanying DINAP Bulletin No. 95-20 are now obsolete, all grantees eligible to receive title II-B funds MUST submit the above-referenced documents, whether or not they have already submitted paperwork pursuant to Bulletin 95-20. New Summer Plans must be sent as soon as possible to the following address: 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.
