DIGEST: ACTION's proposed grant modification to e pand the area from which enrollees in a demonstration youth e pl ment project are drawn to include additional county. o t L~x section 348(a) of the Comprehensive Employ- ment and Training Act of 1973, as added by the Youth Employment and Demonstration Project Act of 1977,'< Pub. L. No. 95-93, 91 Stat. 645, 29 U. S. C. A. 6 8499> and the interagency agreement with the Department of Labor support the conclusion that the proposed amendment is necessary to carry out the original purpose of the grant. Accordingly, such an amendment would not require the obligation of current fiscal year appropriated funds This decision to the Director of ACTION is in response to a request from the General Counsel of that agency for an opinion on whether a proposed modification would, in effect, constitute a new grant that requires the obligation of current fiscal year funds, or whether the prior year funds, originally obligated for the grant, may be used to fund the modification. Under the circumstances of this ca e nd for the reasons given below, we do n betive ah ant wi e created by the proposed modification, ACTIN may heefor ma the change without obligating current fiscal year fu ds. In fiscal year 1978, the Youth Community Services Demonstration Project/Syracuse .(YCS/S) received an ACTION grant to conduct a community service volunteer program that would provide 16 to 21 year old youths with an experience that would aid their transition to regular employment. The grant is authorized under section 348(a) of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (as added by section 201 of the Youth Employment and Demonstration Project Act of 1977 (the Act), Pub. L. No. 95-93, 91 Stat. 645, August 5, 1977, 29 U. S. C. A. § 894g). Section 348(a) is a Department of Labor program, but ACTION made the grant, using funds appropriated to Labor, under an interagency agreement with Labor as expressly authorized by paragraph (3) of subsection 348(a). The funds in question are no longer available for obligation. djk -1-
