Good aftemoon Felicia,

Dalton and I have been working with the above STEP. We have receiVed all of the required documentation from him. I just need to verify some information prior to extending his official offer. First, James Tingwald will be his direct supervisor, correct? Additionally, how long should we set his NTE date for? Typically this is set for 364 days for STEPs, would January 2, 2012 be acceptable? I have attached below the lnfonnatlon regarding his response to his availability. Will this wort< for the program office -setting his number of hours 31 per pay period?

Hi Tia,

Thank you very much for this information. With regards to my availability, I will be able to work 16 hours a week. There are 2 weeks during which I will only be able to work 8 hours (the week beginning January 24, and the week beginning February 21), so I was going to see if I c ould make up that time during the weeks beginning January 3 and January 10 by working 24 hours during those weeks. Other than that, my schedule will be standard as:

Mondays 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm Wednesdays 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm Fridays 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

I hope this makes sense, let me know ifyou have any questions or need any addi1ional information from me. Thanks again!

-Kevin
