RE: Nonmaterial and Nonsubstantive Edits to 1830-0569

We are recommending several technical edits to this ICR that do not have an impact on respondent burden. Most of the edits relate to changing the deadline for submission of the ICR from December 31 to January 31 to conform with OMB’s recent update to the Uniform Guidance that extended the deadline for the submission of financial and performance reports from 90 to 120 days after the period of performance. The edits also clarify the time period for reporting the non-federal share of outlays (page 15), clarify how a state can report on additional career clusters not identified in the ICR (page 18), and correct several mistakes in statutory citations.

Page 3

• Corrects the citation for the Uniform Guidance requirement for annual performance and financial reporting to 2 CFR 200.328.

• Changes the deadline for the submission of the ICR from December 31 to January 31.

Page 6

• Changes the deadline for the submission of the ICR from December 31 to January 31.

Page 12

• Consistent with recent changes in the Uniform Guidance, clarifies that the time period for the liquidation of obligations is now 120 days following the 27- month period in which funds are made available, rather than 90 days.

Page 14

• Corrects a reference in the description of the subtotal that appears on row L to indicate that it sums rows H through K, rather than rows I through K.

• Corrects a citation to the statutory authority of a state to reserve funds for administrative expenses.

Page 15

• Clarifies that the time period for which non-federal outlays are reported in column 6 is “the State fiscal year (12-month period that covers July 1 – June 30 for most States).”

• Deletes an inaccurate description of the contents of column 7 (federal share of outlays).

Page 18

• Changes the deadline for the submission of the ICR from December 31 to January 31.

• Adds a footnote that clarifies how the respondent may report on additional career clusters if it chooses to use more than the 16 clusters identified in the ICR.
