Part A--Introduction and Background

    Introduction: During PY 1999, the MSFW program will transition its

[[Page 15992]]

operating authority from the JTPA to the WIA so that full 
implementation of WIA occurs on or before the July 1, 2000 (the 
beginning of PY 2000). Grantees have the authority under WIA during PY 
1999 to take the steps necessary to transition from JTPA operating 
authority to WIA operating authority. This authority facilitates moving 
jointly with the States and in conjunction with the Local Workforce 
Investment Boards, as appropriate. Grantees may submit proposals to 
operate under WIA or under JTPA in PY 1999 or may transition from JTPA 
to WIA during that year.
    In addition, the Department intends to exercise its option to waive 
competition for the succeeding two-year period (PY 2001 and PY 2002) 
for grantees who perform satisfactorily during PY 1999 and PY 2000. In 
accordance with WIA Section 167(c)(4)(B), the Department will establish 
criteria for making a determination of satisfactory performance upon 
which to base the anticipated waivers of competition for the second 
two-year period. The Department will advise the grantees of its 
determination and will include the criteria to be used for determining 
satisfactory performance.
    The proposals submitted must consist of six (6) sections as 
follows: Section I--covering the applicant's understanding of the 
problems of eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers (including 
dependents). Section II--capacity for utilizing the existing service 
environment (and familiarity with the area to be served). Section III--
proposed major activities (including approach in transitioning from 
JTPA to WIA implementation within the proposed service area). Section 
IV--programmatic experience. Section V--general administrative/
financial management capability. Section VI is a place holder for the 
applicant's attachments. The statement of programmatic experience must 
reflect the applicant's capacity to administer effectively a 
diversified program of workforce investment activities and related 
assistance (an employability development program under JTPA) for 
eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
    For rating purposes, Sections I-V are assigned a range of possible 
points, and the sum of the maximum possible points for all five 
sections totals 100. The most heavily weighted criteria is for Section 
III which covers the proposed program design, plans for serving the 
target MSFW population and proposed strategy for successfully 
transitioning to full WIA implementation. The applicant's proposal for 
Section III should be a description of an operational plan that is 
appropriate to the service environment described by the proposer in 
Sections I and II.

Background:

    The objective of the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Program under 
section 402 of the Job Training Partnership Act is to provide services 
to meet the employment and training needs of migrant and seasonal 
farmworkers through such public and private nonprofit organizations as 
determined by the Secretary to have an understanding of the problems of 
migrant and seasonal farmworkers, a familiarity with the area to be 
served, and a previously demonstrated capability to administer 
effectively a diversified employability development program for migrant 
and seasonal farmworkers.
    Section 167 of WIA specifies that the MSFW program provide 
workforce investment activities and related assistance for eligible 
migrant and seasonal farmworkers through eligible entities that 
demonstrate an understanding of the problems of eligible migrant and 
seasonal farmworkers, a familiarity with the area to be served, and a 
capacity to administer effectively a diversified program of workforce 
investment activities and related assistance for eligible migrant and 
seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs).
    The MSFW program is subject to all applicable provisions of the 
JTPA regulations at 20 CFR 633, the WIA Interim Final Regulations, and 
to the Department's regulations at 29 CFR Parts 93 (New Restrictions on 
Lobbying), 96 (Audit Requirements), and 98 (Debarment, Suspension and 
Drug-free Workplace requirements), and the Department's 
nondiscrimination regulations at 29 CFR 34 and the nondiscrimination 
regulations implementing WIA Section 188. Should the regulations at 
Part 669 conflict with regulations elsewhere in 20 CFR, the regulations 
at Part 669 will control. The WIA interim final regulations will be 
published soon. Further, should any instructions in this notice 
conflict with WIA Interim Final Rules, the WIA regulations control. 
Applicants should consult and be familiar with WIA regulations at 20 
CFR Parts 660 through 671.

Consultation With Governors and Local Boards

    Executive Order No. 12372, ``Intergovernmental Review of Federal 
Programs,'' and the implementing regulations at 29 CFR Part 17, are 
applicable to this program. Under these requirements, the applicant 
must provide a copy of the application for comment to the States that 
have established a consultation process under the Executive Order. 
Applications must be submitted to the State's Single Point of Contact 
(SPOC) no later than the deadline for submission of the application to 
the Department.
    For States that have not established a consultative process under 
Executive Order No. 12372, and have established a State Workforce 
Investment Board (State Board), the State Board will be the SPOC. For 
WIA implementation purposes, this consultation process fulfills the 
requirement of WIA Section 167(e) concerning consultation with 
Governors and local Boards. To strengthen the implementation of 
Executive 0rder No.12372, the Department establishes the following 
time-frame for its treatment of comments from the State's SPOC on WIA 
Section 167 applications:
    1. The SPOC must submit comments, if any, to the Department and to 
the applicant, no later than 30 days after the deadline date for 
submission of application;
    2. The applicant's response to the SPOC comments, if any, must be 
submitted to the Department no later than 15 days after the post-marked 
date of the comments from the SPOC;
    3. The Department will notify the SPOC of its decision regarding 
the SPOC comments and applicant response; and
    4. The Department will implement that decision within 10 days after 
it has notified the SPOC.

State Area Allocation Estimates

    State area planning estimates will be published in a separate issue 
of the Federal Register.

Part B--Solicitation for Grant Application:

    To provide training, employment opportunities, and related services 
to eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers under JTPA section 402 and 
WIA section 167, the Department selects the grantee for each service 
area from among the competing eligible entities that apply for the 
grant to serve the area. Both WIA and JTPA provide that organizations 
eligible to operate MSFW programs must:
     Have an understanding of the problems of eligible migrant 
and seasonal farmworkers (including dependents),
     Have a familiarity with the area to be served, and
     Have a demonstrated capacity to administer effectively a 
diversified program of workforce investment

[[Page 15993]]

activities are related assistance for eligible migrant and seasonal 
farmworkers.

Submittal of the Grant Application Package

    Applicants must submit an original and three (3) copies of the 
complete application package for review. Applications must be mailed no 
later than five (5) days prior to the closing date for the receipt of 
applications. However, if application are hand-delivered, they must be 
received at the designated place by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 
closing date for receipt of applications. All overnight mail will be 
considered to be hand-delivered and must be received at the designated 
place by the specified time and closing date. Telegraphed and/or faxed 
proposals will not be honored. Applications that fail to adhere to the 
above instructions will not be honored.
Late Applications
    Any application received at the office designated in the 
solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt will not be 
considered unless it:
    (a) Was sent by U.S. Postal Service registered or certified mail 
not later than the fifth calendar day before the closing date specified 
for receipt of applications (e.g., an offer submitted in response to a 
solicitation requiring receipt of application by the 30th of January 
must have been mailed by the 25th); or
    (b) Was sent by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail Next Day Service--
Post Office to Addressee, not later than 5 p.m. at the place of mailing 
two working days prior to the date specified for receipt of 
application. The term ``working days'' excludes weekends and U.S. 
Federal holidays.
    The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of a 
late application sent by U.S. Postal Service registered or certified 
mail is the U.S. postmark on the envelop or wrapper and on the original 
receipt from the U.S. Postal Service. Both postmarks must show a 
legible date or the proposal shall be processed as if it had been 
mailed late. ``Postmark'' means a printed, stamped, or otherwise placed 
impression (exclusive of a postage meter machine impression) that is 
readily identifiable without further action as having been supplied and 
affixed by an employee of the U.S. Postal Service on the date of 
mailing. Therefore, applicants should request the postal clerk to place 
a legible hand cancellation ``bull's eye'' postmark on both the receipt 
and the envelope or wrapper.
    The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of a 
late application sent by ``Express Mail Next-Day Service-Post Office to 
Addressee'' is the date entered by the post office receiving clerk on 
the ``Express Mail Next Day Service-Post Office to Addressee'' label 
and the postmarks on both the envelope and wrapper and the original 
receipt from the U.S. Postal Service. ``Postmark'' has the same meaning 
as defined above. Therefore, an applicant should request the postal 
clerk to place a legible hand cancellation ``bull's eye'' postmark on 
both the receipt and the envelope or wrapper.
Withdrawal of Applications
    Applications may be withdrawn by written notice or telegram 
(including mailgram__) received at any time before award. Applications 
may be withdrawn in person by the applicant or by an authorized 
representative thereof, if the representative's identity is made known 
and the representative signs a receipt for the proposal.

    The Application package must consist of:
    (1) A Standard Form 424 found in OMB Circular A-102 and as an

Certified Public Accountant, or
    (b) for a public agency, a certification by its Chief Fiscal 
Officer;
    (3) A statement indicating the entity's legally constituted 
authority under which the organization functions. A nonprofit

Section I--Understanding MSFW Population of the Service Area

    In this section, applicants should describe the problems that are 
faced by MSFWs over the course of a year in the specific local 
geographic areas proposed to be served. An understanding of the local 
economy and the problems faced by MSFWs working within that economy is 
important to formulating an effective service strategy.
    Applicants must provide the following information in this section:

    (1) A description of the socio-economic characteristics, 
problems and needs of eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers (and 
their dependents) in the proposed service delivery area. (Note: For 
applicants that are current JTPA Section 402 grant recipients, a 
recapitulation solely of the socio-economic characteristics of past 
or current participants will not adequately address this 
requirement); and
    (2) A description of the types of workforce investment 
activities necessary to respond to the needs of the eligible 
population described in paragraph (1) above, explaining how the 
proposed activities will address those needs.

Rating Criteria for Section I--0 to 15 Points

    The scoring will be based on the applicant's (1) described 
understanding of the socio-economic characteristics and needs of the 
MSFW population and (2) whether the applicant's analysis of how the 
needs described will be addressed through its proposed program mix of 
workforce training activities and supportive services.

Section II--Capacity for Utilizing the Existing Service Environment

    In this section applicants should describe their current or planned 
programmatic ties within the proposed service area to appropriate 
entities, including those entities that provide educational, health and 
child care

Local Workforce Investment Boards, the local One-Stop Centers, State 
and Local Offices of Migrant Education and Migrant Health, Farmworker 
Housing Programs, eligible providers of training services as described 
in WIA section 122, and other local service organizations. (Note: 
Letters of commitment documenting appropriate programmatic ties should 
be attached to the application in Section VI.)
    Applicants that are not a current MSFW program grantee may 
demonstrate their potential to enter a new market by describing 
community ties related to service to farmworkers from its experiences 
in other areas and/or programs and anticipated ties in the specific 
community applied for.
    Applicants must provide the following information in this section:
    (1) A labor market assessment of the proposed service area with

service area in detail, covering the biennial period for PYs 1999 and 
2000 (July 1, 1999--June 30, 2001). PY 1999 is the transition year from 
JTPA to WIA. Thus, the proposal should describe the plan under JTPA and 
the implementation activities proposed during the course of PY 1999 to 
ensure successful WIA implementation on or before July 1, 2000. For PY 
2000 and early WIA implementation during PY 1999, identify and describe 
the workforce investment activities and related assistance proposed 
under WIA for eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers that will be

Part C--Review Process of Grant Applications

Panel Review
    The Grant Officer will select potential grantees utilizing all 
information available to him/her. A review panel will rate each 
proposal using the specific criteria cited above. Panel results are 
advisory in nature and are not binding on the Grant Officer. The Grant 
Officer may, at his/her discretion, request an applicant to submit 
additional or clarifying information if deemed necessary to make a 
selection. However, selections may be made without further contact with 
the applicants.
Responsibility Review
    Prior to awarding a grant to any applicant, the Department will 
conduct a responsibility review of available records. The 
responsibility review relies on tests of available records to determine 
if the applicant has established a satisfactory history of accounting 
for Federal funds and property. The responsibility review is 
independent of the panel review process. Applicants failing to meet the 
requirements of this section may be disqualified for selection as 
grantees, irrespective of their standing in the competition. Any 
applicant that is not selected as a result of the Grant Officer's 
responsibility review will be advised of its appeal rights. The 
responsibility tests that will be considered are presented in the WIA 
regulations.
Areas not competed
    In the event that,
    1. No grant applications are received for a specific service 
delivery area; or
    2. All applications received are determined unacceptable; or
    3. Where a grant agreement is not successfully negotiated with the 
selected grantee; the Department will offer the Governor of the State, 
if that State had not applied, a first right to submit an acceptable 
application. If the Governor does not accept this offer within 15 days 
after being notified, the Department may:
    1. Designate another organization; or
    2. Reopen the service delivery area for competitive bidding; or
    3. Allocate the area's funds by formula to all other service areas; 
or
    4. Transfer the funds for that service area to national account 
activities.
Notification of Non-Selection
    Any applicant that is not selected as a potential grantee, or that 
has its grant application denied in whole or in part by the Department 
for receipt of funds, will be notified in writing by the Grant Officer 
and will be advised of all appeal rights.
Notification of Selection
    The following conditions are applicable to notification of 
selection:
    (a) Applicants selected as potential grantees will be notified in 
writing by the Grant Officer;
    (b) The notification will invite each potential grantee to 
negotiate the final terms and conditions of the grant as applicable, 
will establish a reasonable time and place for such negotiations, and 
will indicate the specific service delivery area and amount of funds to 
be allocated under the grant;
    (c) PY 99 funds will be awarded for the performance period July 1, 
1999 to June 30, 2000 and PY 2000 funds (subject to continued Federal
