3. Background. Pursuant to the April 20, 2007 Federal Register announcement for the
PY 2007 NFJP grant competition, organizations were selected to operate the program
in PY 2007 and PY 2008. Subsequently, the Department exercised its option to waive
the scheduled PY 2009 grants competition in all but four service areas identified as
having low performance according to the Secretary of Labor’s authority provided in
WIA Section 167 (c)(4)(B). A limited grants competition was conducted to select
grantees in a total of five state service areas: the four areas ineligible for waiver and
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE:
None June 30, 2010

one service area whose grantee ceased operations as of July 1, 2009. The
Employment and Training Administration (ETA) required annual grant plans from
grantees in the service delivery areas eligible for waiver of competition to administer
program activities and services. The guidance provided herein is intended to
instruct all NFJP grantees in the preparation and submission of their PY 2010 grant
plan. The next grants competition is scheduled for PY 2011.
4. Grant Plan Requirements. For PY 2010, grantees are required to submit a grant
package comprised of the following:
A. Standard Form (SF) 424 (OMB No. 4040-004). The “Application for Federal
Assistance” Appendix A, (OMB Rev. 9-2003) must include the grantee’s Data
Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number.
B. SF 424-A Budget Information Form (OMB No. 4040-006). In preparing the
budget information form, the grantee must provide a concise narrative
explanation to support the request. The narrative should break down the
budget and discuss precisely how administrative costs support the project
goals. Grantees who generate program income from NFJP funds must
describe, in the budget narrative, the use of program income to serve more
participants or improve program services. Program income must be included
in the budget breakdown for approval by the Grant Officer.
C. Grant Plan Narrative. The grant plan narrative must include, at a minimum,
the following elements.
i. The information required by 20 CFR § 669.520, as follows:
a. The employment and education needs of the farmworker
population to be served;
b. The manner in which proposed services to farmworkers and
their families will strengthen their ability to obtain or retain
employment or stabilize their agricultural employment;
c. The related assistance and supportive services to be provided
and the manner in which such assistance and services are to be
coordinated with other available services;
d. The performance indicators and proposed levels of performance
used to assess the performance of such entity, including the
specific goals of the grantee’s program for the two Program
years involved;
e. The method the grantee will use to target its services on specific
segments of the eligible population, as appropriate;
f. The array of services which the grantee intends to make
available, with costs specified on forms prescribed by the
Department. These forms will indicate how many participants
the grantee expects to serve, by activity, the results expected
3
under the grantee’s plan, and the anticipated expenditures by
cost category; and
g. Its response to any other requirements set forth in the SGA
issued under Section 669.210.
ii. A description of the program strategies to be pursued in PY 2010 to
continue progress in support of the continued integration of services to
farmworkers and continuous improvement. This section must include:
a. A discussion of the barriers encountered in meeting the goals
described in the previous grant plan narrative/application, and
the strategies developed to overcome those barriers;
b. A description of the grantee’s achievements under the plan of
services provided for PY 2009, and a full description of the
activities to be conducted towards the proposed plan of services
in PY 2010;
c. The strategies developed for PY 2010, for outreach to and
recruitment of new employers, that can provide expanded
opportunities for farmworkers;
d. A description of how the economic analysis conducted as part
of the response to the appropriate SGA has been or will be
updated, and how the results were applied to the development
of the PY 2010 grant plan; and
e. Progress made toward increasing the network of organizations
with which the grantee has working relationships, such that the
organizations direct their resources towards providing and/or
increasing services to farmworkers, thereby optimizing the
program’s resources.
iii. A timeline for the entirety of PY 2010 that clearly depicts by month
and/or quarter, the start and end dates for the milestones inherent in
the activities described above.
D. Performance Goal Attainment. Each grant plan must contain a description of
the strategies to attain the performance goals established for the NFJP and
currently being implemented through the Common Measures. The PY 2010
performance goals are as follows:
Entered Employment: 73%
Employment Retention: 71.6%
Average Earnings: $8,945
For more information on the Common Measures, visit the following Web site:
http://www.doleta.gov/performance/guidance/tools_commonmeasures.cf
m.
E. Program Planning Summary (OMB No. 12050425). Grantees must provide a
Program Planning Summary (ETA Form 9094) which must be entered into the
-4-
Enterprise Business Support System (EBSS) within 10 working days following
approval of the PY 2010 grant plan.
F. Budget Information Summary (OMB No. 1205-0425). Grantees must provide a
Budget Information Summary (ETA Form 9093) which depicts the PY 2010
budget plan for quarterly expenditures for administrative and program costs,
breaking out projected costs for Related Assistance from that of all other
program services. Administrative costs are limited to 15 percent of the total
grant amount. All BIS data must be entered into the EBSS within 10 working
days following approval of the PY 2010 grant plan.
G. Carryover. All grant funds must be expended by June 30, 2011. However, in
some cases grantees will have registered participants whose Individual
Employment Plans provide for training that extends beyond June 30, 2011.
The ETA expects that funds dedicated to helping participants complete their
training and other services - and other expenditures committed, but not yet
liquidated - will have been obligated before June 30, 2011 but shown as
carryover funds into PY 2011. Otherwise, no carry-over provision will be
available to the grantees. Grantees must file a Federal Financial Report for
each quarter, regardless of the program year in which the grant funds were
obligated. Grantees must also formally notify the appropriate regional
Federal Project Officer of their intent to show carry-over funds into PY 2011.
5. Formula Allocations. The PY 2010 formula allocations for the NFJP have been
prepared in the same manner as the PY 2009 allocations (found at
http://www.doleta.gov/MSFW/html/docs/StateAllocations.cfm). The total
amount allocated for PY 2010 is $78,410,000.
