This information collection contains policies and application and reporting procedures for states and local entities to enable them to access funds for National Emergency Grant (NEG) programs. NEGs are discretionary grants intended to complement the resources and service capacity at the state and local area levels by providing supplemental funding for workforce development and employment services and other adjustment assistance for dislocated workers and other eligible individuals as defined in sections 101, 134 and 173 of WIA and in the Trade Act as amended by the Trade and Globalization Assistance Act of 2009.
The OJT NEG grant program requires implementation designs from each of the grantees; these designs are not required for any other NEG grants. It is estimated that each impolemetation design will take about 12 hours to prepare.
