                 Acting Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:         Instructions and Planning Guidance for the Agricultural Outreach Plans (AOP)
                 for Program Year (PY) 2014; the Designation of Significant Migrant and
                 Seasonal Farm Worker (MSFW) States; and the Designation of Significant
                 MSFW and Bilingual Local Offices

1. Purpose. The purpose of this Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) is to
   transmit guidelines to State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) on the preparation and submission
   of the AOP, and to designate the significant MSFW states, the significant MSFW local
   offices, and the bilingual local offices for PY 2014.

3. Background. States have a responsibility under W-P regulations to provide services to
   MSFWs on a basis that is qualitatively equivalent and quantitatively proportionate to services
   provided to non-MSFWs. As required in W-P regulations at 20 CFR 653.107, each SWA
   develops an annual outreach plan, describing its strategies on how to contact MSFWs who
   are not being reached by the normal intake activities conducted by the local offices. The
   AOP also describes the activities planned for providing the full range of employment and
   training services to the agricultural community, both MSFWs and agricultural employers,
   through the American Job Center (AJC) network (formerly referred to as the One-Stop
   Career Center system).


 RESCISSIONS                                               EXPIRATION DATE
 None                                                      June 30, 2015

   The AOP is required annually; therefore, SWAs must submit the AOP to the Employment
   and Training Administration (ETA) each year as a modification to their WIA Title I and W-P
   Integrated or Unified Workforce Plan (State Plan). This TEGL provides guidance to SWAs
   to develop and submit a new AOP as a modification to the State Plan.

   Federal regulations at 20 CFR 651.10 require ETA to annually designate “significant”
   MSFW states, which are the 20 states with the highest number of MSFW applicants.
   Attachment B of this TEGL provides the list of the 20 significant MSFW states for PY 2014.

   In addition, Federal regulations at 20 CFR 651.10 require ETA to annually designate
   “significant” MSFW local offices, which are those MSFW local offices that account for 10
   percent or more of annual MSFW participants in the W-P program. These regulations also
   require ETA to designate annually as “significant bilingual” those MSFW local offices where
   an estimated 10 percent or more of MSFW participants require service provision in Spanish
   (or other languages). SWAs or the Administrator of ETA’s Office of Workforce Investment
   (OWI Administrator) may designate additional local offices as significant MSFW
   local/bilingual local offices due to special circumstances, such as an estimated large number
   of MSFWs in the local office service area. Attachment C of this TEGL provides the list of
   bilingual and significant local offices for PY 2014.

4. State Plan Requirements. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Office of
   Management and Budget (OMB) approved the State Integrated Workforce Plan
   Requirements for Workforce Investment Act Title I/Wagner-Peyser Act and Department of
   Labor Workforce Programs (Integrated Workforce Plan) and Planning Guidance for State
   Unified Plans and Unified Plan Modifications Submitted under Section 501 of the Workforce
   Investment Act (WIA) under OMB control number 1205-0398. The Integrated Workforce
   Plan requirements are available on ETA’s Web site at:
   http://www.doleta.gov/usworkforce/wia-planning/docs/integrated-planning-guidance.pdf.
   The Unified Plan requirements are available at:
   http://www.doleta.gov/usworkforce/wia-planning/docs/unified-planning-guidance.pdf.

   Once submitted as a separate plan, the AOP is now an integral component of the State Plan.

5. Agricultural Outreach Plans. SWAs are required to develop an annual AOP that sets
   numerical goals, policies, and objectives. Federal regulations at 20 CFR 653.107 require that
   the outreach plan include the following elements:

          Assessment of need
          Proposed outreach activities
          Services provided to agricultural employers and MSFWs through the AJC network
          Numerical goals
          Data analysis

   Attachment A of this TEGL provides further details of the data elements and information
   required in the AOP.


6. Significant MSFW State Designation. Significant MSFW states are the 20 states with the
   highest number of MSFW applicants. ETA bases the designation of the significant states on
   the total number of MSFW participants in the W-P program, as reported in the Labor
   Exchange Reporting System (LERS) 9002A report. The significant MSFW states must make
   maximum efforts to hire outreach staff with MSFW experience for year-round positions and
   must assign outreach staff to work full-time during the period of the highest MSFW activity.
   These outreach staff must be bilingual if warranted by the characteristics of the MSFW
   population in the state, and must spend a majority of their time in the field.

   ETA also identifies the five states with the highest estimated year-round MSFW activity.
   The factors used to establish these top five states are W-P activities performed on behalf of
   MSFWs seeking assistance (e.g., applicant registrations, referrals to employment, referrals to
   supportive services, career guidance, job search activities, and referrals to WIA services) as
   reported in the LERS 9002A report. In accordance with state merit staff requirements in W-
   P regulations at 20 CFR 653.107(i), these five states must assign full-time, year-round staff
   to outreach duties.

   Attachment B provides the updated list of the significant MSFW states and the list of the five
   states with the highest estimated year-round MSFW activity for PY 2014. The five states
   with the highest estimated year-round activity (California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and
   Michigan) correspond with the top five significant MSFW states.

7. Significant MSFW and Bilingual Local Office Designation.

   Significant MSFW local offices are those local offices where MSFWs account for 10 percent
   or more of annual applicants and any additional local offices that the OWI Administrator or
   SWA determines should be included due to special circumstances, such as an estimated large
   number of MSFWs in the local office service area.

   Significant bilingual MSFW local offices are those significant MSFW offices where an
   estimated 10 percent or more of MSFW applicants require service provisions in Spanish and
   any additional local offices that the OWI Administrator or SWA determines should be
   included due to special circumstances.

   The following is a list of responsibilities associated with AJCs designated as significant
   MSFW/bilingual local offices:

          Each significant MSFW local office must provide adequate staff assistance to each
           MSFW participant in order for MSFWs to effectively obtain specific and general
           information on where and how to find employment.

          Those offices designated as significant MSFW bilingual offices must explain the
           services available through the local office to the MSFW in Spanish (or other
           language). SWAs or the OWI Administrator may designate local offices as significant
           MSFW bilingual offices due to special circumstances, such as an increase in MSFW
           applications or an increase in agricultural job order activity.


          Significant MSFW local offices must conduct especially vigorous outreach in their
           service areas, which may include thorough and extensive outreach efforts so that a
           large number of MSFWs in the area are aware of the full range of the employment
           and training services offered through the AJCs.
          SWAs must ensure that, once a year, state staff visit those significant MSFW local
           offices that have not received an onsite review by Federal staff, to the extent possible.
           Also, if necessary, state staff should review those local offices in which significant
           problems are revealed by required reports, management information, the Job Service
           complaint system or otherwise as soon as possible
          When SWAs conduct reviews of significant local offices, SWAs must submit to the
           appropriate ETA regional office a copy of the local office formal monitoring review
           report and any corrective action plans requested of local offices as a result of these
           reviews.

Attachment C of this TEGL contains the list of AJCs designated by ETA as significant
MSFW/bilingual local offices. Designations for PY 2014 remain the same as for PY 2013. ETA
is continuing these designations because there were minimal changes in the data from PY 2013
to PY 2014, and in recognition of the time it takes to implement the requirements associated with
significant MSFW/bilingual local office designation.

8. Performance Indicators. ETA has established program performance indicators for SWAs
   that measure minimum W-P service levels to MSFWs and the equity of services provided to
   MSFWs in comparison to participants that are not MSFWs.

   The five equity indicators include: 1) MSFWs referred to jobs; 2) MSFWs that received
   staff-assisted services; 3) MSFWs referred to supportive services; 4) MSFWs provided career
   guidance; and 5) MSFWs provided job development contacts. All states are required to meet
   at least four of the five equity indicators. Achieving equity occurs when the ratio of the
   services provided to MSFWs over the services provided to non-MSFWs is greater than
   or equal to one.

   Table 1 illustrates the seven minimum service level indicators and their corresponding
   compliance levels that address other W-P services to MSFWs.

      Table 1: Minimum Service Level Indicators and Compliance Levels
      1) MSFWs placed in a job                                   42.5%
      2) MSFWs placed in a job with a wage exceeding the Federal 14%
      minimum wage by at least 50 cents/hour
      3) MSFWs placed long-term (150 days or more) in a non-     3%
      agricultural job
      4) Reviews of significant MSFW local offices               100%
      5) Field checks conducted on agricultural clearance orders 25%
      6) Outreach contacts per staff day                         5 contacts per staff day
      7) Timely processing of complaints                         90%


   All significant MSFW states are required to meet at least four of the seven minimum service
   level indicators, while the other (non-significant) states should make maximum efforts to
   meet these same levels.

9. Action – Submission of the AOP. SWAs must develop the annual AOPs for PY 2014 as a
   modification to their approved State Plan and submit the AOPs to the appropriate ETA
   Regional Administrator by May 15, 2014, preferably in an electronic format for approval.
   Please send a copy to the National Monitor Advocate, at [email protected].

   As mentioned in Section 3 of this TEGL, the submission of the AOP is a modification to the
   State Plan, and therefore states must follow the provisions for modifications established at 20
   CFR 661.230. Further, SWAs should handle the AOP consistent with the state’s procedures
   for State Plan modifications, and may include the involvement by the State Workforce
   Investment Board.

10. Importance of Participation and Public Comment. In developing the AOP, the SWAs
    must solicit information and suggestions from WIA Section 167 National Farmworker Jobs
    Program (NFJP) grantees, other appropriate MSFW groups, public agencies, agricultural
    employer organizations, and other interested organizations. In addition, at least 45 days
    before submitting the final outreach plans to the ETA Regional Administrators, the SWAs
    must provide the proposed plans to NFJP grantees, public agencies, agricultural employer
    organizations, and other organizations expressing an interest and allow at least 30 days for
    review and comment. The plan must include a list of the organizations that the state solicited
    for information and suggestions on the AOP, any comments received, and the state’s
    responses to those comments. The SWAs must also provide the State Monitor Advocates an
    opportunity to review and comment on the AOP.

11. Inquiries. Please direct questions regarding this notice and instructions to the appropriate
    Regional Monitor Advocate (RMAs). The list of RMAs can be located in the National
    MSFW Monitor Advocate Directory located at http://www.doleta.gov/programs/msfw.cfm.

Attachment A


               Summary of Annual Agricultural Outreach Plan Requirements

The Agricultural Outreach Plan (AOP) portion of the State Plan must describe plans for
providing services to the agricultural community, both for agricultural employers and Migrant
and Seasonal Farmworkers (MSFWs), as described in Wagner-Peyser (W-P) regulations at 20
CFR 653.107, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title I final regulations at 20 CFR
652.107(b)(1), the WIA/W-P Act Integrated Workforce Planning Guidance, and the Unified
Planning Guidance. This attachment provides detail of states that must be included in the AOP
section of the State Plan.

A. Assessment of Need. The assessment of need must include:

(i) A review of the previous year’s agricultural activity in the state.

    Identify each major labor-intensive crop activity in the previous year, indicating the
     months of heavy activity and the geographic area of prime activity.

(ii) A review of the previous year’s MSFW activity in the state.

    Estimate the agricultural labor employed in each of the crops identified in item (i) above.
     Estimate the number of MSFWs involved in each, and indicate crop areas that
     experienced labor shortages.

(iii) A projected level of agricultural activity in the state for the coming year.

    Identify any changes from last year's crop activities as described in item (ii) above.

(iv) A projected number of MSFWs in the state for the coming year, which must take into
account data supplied by WIA Section 167 National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) grantees,
other MSFW organizations, employer organizations and federal and/or state agency data sources
such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Employment and Training Administration.

B. Outreach Activities. The local offices outreach activities must be designed to meet the needs
of MSFWs in the state and to locate and contact MSFWs who are not being reached through
normal intake activities.

The plan for the proposed outreach activities must include:

(i) The goals for the number of MSFWs who will be contacted during the program year by W-P
staff. The plan should also include the number of MSFWs who will be contacted during the year
by other agencies under cooperative arrangements. These numerical goals must be based on the
number of MSFWs estimated to be in the state in the coming year, taking into account the
varying concentration of MSFWs during the seasons in each geographic area, the range of


services needed in each area and the number of W-P and/or cooperating agency staff who will
conduct outreach.1

(ii) An assessment of the resources available for outreach that includes:

    1. The number of SWA staff positions the state will assign to outreach activities. The
       assessment must indicate the full-time equivalent positions for each local office to which
       staff must be assigned, and the number of staff assigned to the state office for this
       purpose.

    2. Where the number of SWA staff positions assigned to outreach activities is less than in
       the prior year, please provide an explanation for the reduction and the expected effect of
       the reduction on direct outreach activities, as indicated in 20 CFR 653.107(h)(3)(i).

    3. The resources to be made available through existing cooperative agreements with public
       and private community service agencies and MSFW groups. (States are encouraged to
       initiate cooperative agreements with WIA Section 167 NFJP grantees for outreach
       position.)

(iii) The tools which will be used to conduct outreach contacts, including personal contact,
printed matter, videotapes, slides, and/or cassette recordings.

C. Services Provided to MSFWs through the American Job Center (AJC) Network. The
plan must provide specific information on how core, intensive, and training services required
under WIA Title I will be provided to MSFWs through the AJC network (previously referred to
as the One-Stop Career Center system). States should provide information on how MSFWs will
be provided staff-assisted services and how MSFWs will be served in an electronic environment
in the AJCs and/or affiliate sites. States should consider how they will enable these AJC
customers to advance their skills and be competitive in a local, regional and global economy.

D. Services Provided to Agricultural Employers through the AJC Network. The plan must
describe efforts that will be taken to provide services to agricultural employers in states with an
adequate supply of U.S. workers and in those states where a shortage of workers is anticipated.
The services provided to agricultural employers can be incorporated into the section of the
WIA/W-P plan on serving employers in general.

E. Data Analysis.

(i) Previous year’s history (based on Program Year (PY) 2011 data):

    Number of agricultural job orders and openings received,
    Number of agricultural job orders filled,
    Percent to be filled,
    Number of interstate clearance orders received, and

1
 The numerical goals that must be included in the agricultural outreach plan are in reference only to the proposed outreach
activities and are not negotiated performance targets.


   Number of interstate clearance orders initiated.

(ii) Plan for upcoming year (based on estimated data):

   Number of agricultural job orders expected to be received,
   Number of agricultural job orders projected to be filled,
   Percent to be filled,
   Estimated number of interstate clearance orders the state will receive, and
   Estimated number of interstate clearance orders the state will initiate.

F. Other Requirements.

(i) State Monitor Advocate. The plan must contain a statement that indicates that the State
Monitor Advocate has been afforded the opportunity to review and comment on the PY 2014
AOP.

(ii) Review and Public Comment. The plan must provide information indicating that WIA
Section 167 NFJP grantees, other appropriate MSFW groups, public agencies, agricultural
employer organizations and other interested employer organizations, have been given an
opportunity to comment on the state AOP. Include the list of organizations from which
information and suggestions were solicited, any comments received, and state responses to those
comments.

1 Data used to designate significant MSFW states was obtained from ETA Report 9002A for PY 2012, except for the states of
PA and TX. The data for these two states was obtained from the Standardized Quarterly Performance Report, ETA Report 9132
for PY 2012.
2 Data used to identify the five states with the highest estimated MSFW activity is based on data on services provided to MSFWs
through the Wagner-Peyser program as reported on the ETA 9002A report for PY 2012.
