AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA).

SUMMARY: The U. S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), Office of Workforce Investment, Division of Adult
Services, announces a grant competition for operating the National
Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), under section 167 of the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA), 29 U.S.C. 2912. WIA generally requires DOL to
conduct a general grants competition every two years to select NFJP
grantees.
Under section 167(a) of WIA, the Secretary must award grants on a
competitive basis to eligible entities for the purposes of carrying out
the activities authorized under section 167. We are conducting this
competition before the passage of the Department of Labor's Fiscal Year
(FY) 2011 appropriation in anticipation of the appropriation of funds
for Program Year (PY) 2011 NFJP grants, but we will not obligate any
funds for PY 2011 grants unless and until they are appropriated. The FY
2011 appropriations request for this program is $78,410,000, to be
allocated among state service delivery areas for operation of NFJP. All
interested applicants should read this notice in its entirety.
The complete SGA and any subsequent SGA amendments are described in
further detail on ETA's Web site at http://www.doleta.gov/grants or on
http://www.grants.gov. The Web sites provide application information,
eligibility requirements, review and selection procedures and other
program requirements governing this solicitation.
