3. Background. Each fiscal year, upon the enactment of appropriations for the
Department of Labor, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), through the
Office of Foreign Labor Certification, advises State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) on the
Alien Labor Certification (ALC) grant distribution for the fiscal year, subject to
submission and approval of workplans and meeting other criteria for funding. ETA
guidance is designed to assist SWAs in their financial planning and, assuming ETA
approves their workplans, to outline each state’s procedural and programmatic
obligations under the grant.
In the absence of final FY 2008 appropriations action to date – including a final
Appropriations Act for the Department of Labor – the Congress has authorized and the
President has signed a Continuing Budget Resolution to fund Government operations
at the FY 2007 rate through November 16, 2007. With respect to the Department of
Labor, the Continuing Resolution (CR) includes funding for state ALC activities under
the Department’s State Unemployment Insurance Employment Service Operations
account. The attachment to this TEGL lists the grant allocation for each state under
the current CR.
Based on longstanding practice, once the Department receives a final FY 2008
appropriation, it will issue detailed planning guidance to SWAs. For SWAs planning to
apply for FY 2008 ALC funding or that have, by that time, used ALC funding distributed
under an FY 2008 CR, the issuance of the planning guidance triggers an obligation to
immediately submit a workplan in order to demonstrate continuing eligibility under the
annual grant.
As appropriate, prior to final FY 2008 appropriations action, ETA will, to the extent
feasible, advise SWAs of the amounts they will receive under each CR. Following the
issuance of this TEGL, SWAs will receive additional information from the ETA Office of
Grants and Contracts Management as their respective allocations become available
for their use.
4. Effective Date. This guidance is effective immediately.
5. Action Required. SWA Administrators are directed to provide SWA staff involved in
foreign labor certification activities with a copy of these procedures.
6. Inquiries. Grant funding questions should be directed to Julie Cerruti at (202) 693-
3010. Program-related questions should be directed to Brian Pasternak at (202) 693-
3010.
