Notice of Availability of Funds and Solicitation for Grant 
Applications for National Farmworker Jobs Program Grants

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Funding Opportunity Number: SGA/DFA PY 12-05.
SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. 
Department of Labor (DOL or Department) announces a grant competition 
for the National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), authorized under 
section 167 of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). NFJP provides 
training, employment services, and related assistance in order to 
increase economic opportunities for migrant and seasonal farmworkers 
(MSFW) and their dependents. The Department is exercising its option 
under WIA to continue grant awards to NFJP grantees that have performed 
successfully, and hold a grant competition for service delivery areas 
in which the current grantee has not performed adequately. Therefore, 
this grant competition is only seeking applications to operate NFJP in 
the following service areas: California (central California service 
area covering Merced, Madera and Stanislaus Counties), Hawaii, Indiana, 
Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico. A total of 
approximately $9.6 million is expected to be available for grants in 
these service areas. However, the final amount available depends upon 
the amount of funds appropriated for NFJP in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 
Department of Labor Appropriations Act.
    The complete SGA and any subsequent SGA amendments in connection 
with this solicitation 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.

DATES: The closing date for receipt of applications under this 
announcement is April 2, 2013. Applications must be received no later 
than 4:00:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
