ACTION: Notice of Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA).

    Funding Opportunity Number: SGA-DFA-PY-10-05.
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.
