Job Training Partnership Act: Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Programs; Application of Waiver Provision, and Solicitation for Grant Application

摘要

This action concerns funding of the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker grants authorized under section 402 of the Job Training Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1672). The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) announces that for state service areas currently served by grantees that are performing satisfactorily, the Department is exercising its option to waive competition for the second two-year funding period of the current four-year funding cycle that began with the 1995 Program Year (PY) on July 1, 1995. The State service areas for which competition is not waived are Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, and South Dakota. Since competition is not waived for these areas, this notice solicits proposals for grant applications from qualifying organizations to serve these areas during Program Years 1997 and 1998 (July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1999). Applicants selected will be designated as grantees for these five areas for PYs 1997 and 1998 (July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1999). For the purpose of this solicitation, Preapplication for Federal Assistance (SF 424) will be included in the application package as opposed to being submitted as a separate and preceding document.
