Section IV.B.1.a Requirement for DUNS Number

Starting April 4, 2022, the federal government will transition from using a DUNS Number to a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and all applicants will be required to supply their UEI on the SF-

The first heading is deleted and replaced with the following:

The fifth paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following:

Please note: for proposed projects that include areas in both the ARC and DRA regions, the applicant is only required to include one Federal plan and only one State plan for the designated ARC or DRA region under which the applicant is applying (see Section III.C.1 above). In addition, for projects covering more than one state, the applicant is only required to demonstrate alignment with one WIOA state plan. An applicant may, but is not required to, demonstrate alignment with each of the above plans for each state included in the application; however, doing so will not result in additional benefit to the application.
