About this file
This document is Amendment One to Funding Opportunity Announcement FOA-ETA-26-17 for the Reentry Employment in Skilled Trades, Advanced Manufacturing, Registered Apprenticeships, and Training (RESTART) Initiative, issued by the Employment and Training Administration under the Department of Labor on March 18, 2026.
The amendment modifies three key sections of the original FOA. Section II.A.1 clarifies that State Government/State Government Agency applicants must be either a state workforce agency or state Department of Corrections, explicitly excluding city, county, and local governments from consideration as national or regional intermediaries. Section III.I revises mandatory partnership requirements to provide exceptions for states or tribes with populations under 1,000,000 people and their sub-grantees operating solely within areas with populations under 1,000,000 (based on 2020 U.S. Census data). These applicants must partner with the State Apprenticeship Agency when applicable, at least one local criminal justice system partner, and at least one employer in targeted industries including shipbuilding, AI infrastructure build-out, advanced manufacturing, nuclear energy, transportation, domestic mineral production, and information technology including AI. Appendix B updates the definition of Recidivism Rate to specify it as the percentage of participants convicted of a new criminal offense committed within 12 months of enrollment in a RESTART project. Inquiries regarding the amendment should be directed to RESTART_FOA-ETA-26-17@dol.gov.
