I. Background
This grant program seeks to counter
the impact of the chronic
unemployment and underemployment
experienced by MSFWs who depend
primarily on jobs in agricultural labor.
NFJP grant funds are awarded to
community-based organizations and
public agencies through a biennial grant
competition.
NFJP grantees are required to submit
a Program Planning Summary report
(ETA Form 9094), a Program Status
Summary report (ETA Form 9095), a
Housing Assistance report (ETA Form
9164), a quarterly file of individual
records on all participants who exit the
program (Workforce Investment Act
Standardized Participant Record
(WIASPR), and a grant plan narrative.

farmworkers (MSFWs) and their
dependents.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESS section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control No. 1205–0425.
DATES: Submit written comments to
Gregory Scheib at the office listed in the
address section below on or before
January 26, 2016.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation;
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden

encompass a minimum level of
information collection that is necessary
to hold grantees appropriately
accountable for the Federal funds they
receive, assess progress against a set of
common performance measures, and
allows the Department to fulfill its
oversight and management
responsibilities. ETA proposes
eliminating the Budget Information
Summary Form, ETA 9093, currently
submitted by grantees as part of annual
program plan updates. ETA believes the
information collected on this form is not
essential to monitor grantee
expenditures; moreover, information on
prior year funds exists on ETA 9130
(OMB Control No. 1205–0461), a form
already required for grantees.
Discontinuation of this form will reduce
the total estimated annual reporting
burden on each NFJP grantees by 15
hours per year.
II. Review Focus
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of response.
