TO:              ALL NATIONAL FARMWORKER JOBS PROGRAM GRANTEES

FROM:            MOLLY E. CONWAY /s/
                 Acting Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:         Revised Program Year 2018 Allocations for National Farmworker Jobs
                 Program Career Services and Training Grantees and Housing Grantees

1. Purpose. This Training and Employment Guidance (TEGL) 01-18, Change 1 provides the
   National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) grantees with revised program year (PY) 2018
   allocations.

2. Action Requested. Grantees must submit all of the requested documents detailed in section
   4 via Grants.gov no later than seven days from the issuance of this guidance.

3. Summary and Background.

   a. Summary.

        This document provides NFJP grantees with instructions for submitting updated grant
        documents reflecting revised allocations for PY 2018, describes the process for issuing
        Notices of Award (NOA), and specifies the financial reporting requirements for these
        funds.

   b. Background.

        TEGL No. 01-18, issued on July 3, 2018, announced PY 2018 allocations based on the
        Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Public Law 115-141 (the Act), enacted March
        23, 2018. The Act, Division H, Title I, sec. 106(b), allowed the Secretary to set aside a
        percentage of each discretionary appropriation for activities related to program integrity.
        This reduced the amount available for Career Services and Training grants to
        $81,203,000 and Housing grants to $5,904,000.

        This Change 1 TEGL reflects the restoration of the amounts originally set aside for
        program integrity purposes. The total amount added to Career Services and Training is
        $244,000 and for Housing $18,000, which restores the totals to $81,447,000 for Career
        Services and Training grantees and $5,922,000 for housing grantees.

 RESCISSIONS                                               EXPIRATION DATE
 None                                                      Continuing

       Note, upon award, these funds would be placed in a separate sub account and
       require a separate ETA-9130 quarterly financial report to be submitted. Grantees
       must expend all PY 2018 funding no later than September 30, 2019.

4. Notice of Award and Required Documents for PY 2018 Revised Allocations. The
   Department will issue notices of award (NOA) reflecting the restoration of funds to NFJP
   grantees. In order to receive the funding, the Career Services and Training grantees and
   Housing grantees must submit the following documents electronically through Grants.gov:

       a. A signed SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance) that reflects the exact
          restoration amount;
       b. A SF-424A (Budget Information for Non-Construction Programs);
       c. An updated Budget Narrative Attachment Form; and,
       d. Grantees that use a NICRA or Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) must submit a current,
          approved copy of the NICRA or CAP as part of this application if there is not a
          current NICRA or CAP already included in the grant agreement.

   Grantees should upload these documents no later than seven days from the issuance of this
   guidance. If this is not feasible, grantees must submit as soon as possible but let their FPO
   know they intend to submit.

    Note, a non-response after seven days of the issuance of this guidance will be construed
   as a declination.

   Officer.

                  Instructions for Submitting Budget Documents via Grants.gov

An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed document
and must reflect the grantee’s award amount in Attachment I or II.

Block #18 of the SF-424 must reflect the exact amount of the grantee’s allotment provided in
Attachment I or II. Any total amounts on the SF-424A and budget narrative must also reflect the
grantee’s allotment provided in Attachment I or II. Block #11 of the SF-424 must include the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the National Farmworker Jobs
Program, which is 17.264.

         Note: To find the grant application package in Grants.gov, click on the “Search
         Grants” tab and enter the CFDA number 17.264 in the CFDA search field.

This process can be complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, the Department strongly
encourages grantees to initiate the process as soon as possible and to allow for time to resolve
technical problems if necessary. For grantees that have not registered with Grants.gov, the
Department strongly recommends that grantees read the instructions for registering located at
http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/register.html.

Grantees should read the registration process carefully before registering. These steps may take
as much as 4 weeks to complete, and this time should be factored into plans for electronic
submission to avoid unexpected delays that could result in the rejection of an application. The
site also contains registration checklists to help you walk through the process. The Department
strongly recommends that grantees download the “Organization Registration Checklist” at
http://www.Grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration.html and prepare the
information requested before beginning the registration process. Reviewing and assembling
required information before beginning the registration process will alleviate last minute searches
for required information and save time.

All applicants for Federal grant and funding opportunities are required to have a Data Universal
Numbering System (D-U-N-S®) number and must supply their D-U-N-S® number on the SF-

424. Before applying for funding, grantees must register with the System for Award
Management (SAM), which has replaced the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). Instructions
for registering with SAM can be found at https://www.sam.gov.

Grantees must maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during
which they have an active Federal award or an application under consideration. To remain
registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, there is a requirement to review and
update the registration at least every 12 months from the date of initial registration or
subsequently update the information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate, and
complete. Failure to register with SAM and maintain an active account will result in Grants.gov
rejecting your submission.

                                        Attachment III - 1

The next step in the registration process is creating a username and password with Grants.gov to
become an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). AORs will need to know the
D-U-N-S number of the organization for which they will be submitting applications to complete
this process. To read more detailed instructions for creating a user name and password on
Grants.gov visit https://www.grants.gov/applicants/registration.html.

Submitting through Grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424, Application for
Federal Assistance. The registration and account creation with Grants.gov, with E-Biz POC
approval, establishes an AOR. When you submit the SF-424 through Grants.gov, the name of
your AOR on file will be inserted into the signature line. Grantees must register the individual
who is able to make legally binding commitments as the AOR.

If grantees encounter a problem with Grants.gov and do not find an answer in any of the other
resources, call 1-800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035 to speak to a Customer Support Representative
or email [email protected]. The Contact Center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is
closed on federal holidays.

After troubleshooting with Grants.gov helpdesk, grantees should e-mail major issues preventing
submission of required documents to Charese Moore, Grants Management Specialist, at
[email protected] with a copy to your FPO. That e-mail should specifically reference the
NFJP TEGL’s Funding Opportunity Announcement number, and it should include a contact
name, email address, and phone number.

                                        Attachment III - 2
