Sec. 641.326  Experimental private sector training projects.

    (a) The Department may authorize a grantee to develop an 
experimental job training project(s) designed to provide second career 
training and the placement of eligible individuals in employment 
opportunities with private business concerns. [Section 502(e) of the 
OAA.]
    (b) Experimental project agreements for training may be with States, 
public agencies, non-profit private organizations, and private business 
concerns.
    (c) The geographic location of these projects shall be determined by 
the Department to insure an equitable distribution of such projects.
    (d) To the extent feasible, experimental projects shall emphasize 
second-career training, and innovative work modes, including those with 
reduced physical exertion, and placement into growth industries and jobs 
reflecting new technologies.
    (e) The Department shall establish by administrative guidelines the 
application schedule, content, format, allocation levels and reporting 
requirements for experimental projects.
    (f) Current title V eligibility standards shall be used for 
experimental projects unless the Department permits, in writing, the use 
of another approved income index.
    (g) Projects funded under section 502(e) of the OAA shall seek to be 
coordinated with projects carried out under title II-A of the JTPA to 
the extent feasible.
    (h) National grantees shall distribute funds for experimental 
projects in accordance with the State allocation in their title V grant.
    (i) A grantee may exclude a project, permitted under section 502(e) 
of the OAA, from meeting the non-federal share requirement set forth in 
Sec. 641.407; however, this exclusion does not relieve the grantee from 
the matching requirement, under Sec. 641.407, which applies to the 
entire grant.
