SUMMARY: In notice document 95-15745 on page 33237 in the issue of 
Tuesday, June 27, 1995, an appendix containing the final allocations 
for Program Year 1995 should have been published. Accordingly 
republished below is the information found in notice document 95-15745, 
as well as the appendix containing the final allocations for Program 
Year 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Charles C. Kane, Chief, Division 
of Seasonal Farmworker Programs. Telephone: (202) 219-5500 (this is not 
a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Employment and Training Administration 
publishes the final allocations for Program Year 1995 (July 1, 1995-
June 30, 1996).
    The allocations set forth in the appendix to this notice were 
computed according to the allocation formula published at 59 FR 17577 
(April 13, 1994). For PY 1995, $85,710,000 were appropriated for 
migrant and seasonal farmworker program. This amount is an increase of 
$134,000 above the appropriation for PY 1994. This appropriation is 
subject to reduction depending upon possible rescissions for FY 1995. 
Each year since 1987, additional funds have been included to meet the 
demand for training and employment services to Special Agricultural 
Workers (SAWs) who became eligible for the program as a result of the 
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. In addition, the reports of 
the House of Representatives and the Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the Department of Labor's 1995 appropriations state 
that the committees expect the Department to continue the farmworker 
housing program. The Department concurs with this request.
    The allocation formula is being applied to $81,832,000. The 
remaining $3,878,000 of the PY 1995 section 402 appropriation is being 
held in the section 402 national account to fund the housing program 
($3,000,000), the Hope, Arkansas, Migrant Rest Center ($300,000), and 
other training and technical assistance projects.

Allocation Formula

    As stated above, the $81,832,000 formula total was allocated on a 
State-by-State basis using the same formula that was applied in PY 
1994. This ensures programmatic stability.
Formula Allocations in Future Years

    The Department intends to update the allocation formula to 
incorporate more current data on the farmworker population. To this 
end, in April 1994, a special task force was convened to explore 
options for revising the formula and its bases. Findings from this task 
force will be reflected in a new proposed allocation formula which will 
be published in the Federal Register for comment.
