Section
188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act of 1972, as established
under 29 CFR Part 75, authorizes the
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) to make or guarantee loans or
grants to finance industrial and business
activities in rural areas. The Secretary of
Labor must review the application for
financial assistance for the purpose of
certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture
that the assistance is not calculated, or
likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any
employment or business activity from
one area to another by the loan
applicant’s business operation; or, (b)
An increase in the production of goods,
materials, services, or facilities in an
area where there is not sufficient
demand to employ the efficient capacity
of existing competitive enterprises
unless the financial assistance will not
have an adverse impact on existing
competitive enterprises in the area. The
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) within the
Department of Labor is responsible for
the review and certification process.
Comments should address the two bases
for certification and, if possible, provide
data to assist in the analysis of these
issues.

The Susan Harwood Training Grant
Program provides funds for programs to
train workers and employers to
recognize, avoid, and prevent safety and
health hazards in their workplaces. The
program emphasizes three areas:
• Educating workers and employers
in small businesses. A small business
has 250 or fewer workers.
• Training workers and employers
about new OSHA standards.
• Training workers and employers
about high risk activities or hazards
identified by OSHA through its Strategic
Management Plan, or as part of an
OSHA special emphasis program.
Grant Categories Being Announced
OSHA will accept applications for
two different categories of grants in FY
2005.
• Targeted Topic training category
• OSHA Training Materials
Development category
Topics for the Targeted Topic Training
Category
The Targeted Topic category grants
are available to nonprofit organizations
to conduct training for employers and
employees on two different
occupational safety and health topic
areas selected by OSHA.
Grantees funded for Targeted Topic
training category grants are expected to
provide occupational safety and health
training programs addressing one of the
topic subject areas selected by OSHA,
develop safety and health training and/
or educational programs, recruit
workers and employers for the training,
and conduct and evaluate the training.
Grantees are also expected to conduct
follow up evaluations with people
trained by their program to determine
what, if any, changes were made to
reduce hazards in their workplaces as a
result of the training. If your
organization plans to train workers or
employers in any of the 26 states
operating OSHA-approved State Plans,
State OSHA requirements should be
included in the training.
Two different topic areas were
selected for this grant announcement.
OSHA may award grants for some or all
of the listed Targeted Topic subjects.

Materials Development category grants
are expected to develop, evaluate, and
validate classroom-quality training
materials on occupational safety and
health topics selected by OSHA that
