1.  Project number.

2. Grantee contact person, address, phone, fax number, and e-mail address.

3.  Provide a list of recipients which will receive funds under the grant. (For OTRB grants the grantee/applicant is generally the only recipient of federal assistance, in which case, the following information would be required only for the grantee.)

If a recipient’s service area is limited, the grantee should indicate the extent of this limitation in the application so that the Department can identify labor organizations in the service area of the OTRB grant.

4. Identify labor organizations representing employees of the recipient itself. For example: The recipient may list the Service Employees International Union Local XXX as representing its employees.
