4. Performance Measures: The
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal
departments and agencies to improve
the effectiveness of their programs by
engaging in strategic planning, setting
outcome-related goals for programs, and
measuring program results against those
goals. Program officials must develop
performance measures for all their grant
programs to assess their performance
and effectiveness. The Rehabilitation
Services Administration (RSA) has
established the following performance
measure for the Migrant and Seasonal
Farmworkers Program and will use this
measure to assess the effectiveness of
the program.
• Percentage of individuals served
who were placed in employment.

23MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 56 / Friday, March 23, 2007 / Notices
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Each grantee must annually report on
this measure in its annual performance
report. In addition, the Migrant and
Seasonal Farmworkers Program is part
of the Administration’s job training and
employment common measures
initiative. The common measures for job
training and employment programs
targeting adults are: entered
employment (percentage employed in
the first quarter after program exit);
retention in employment (percentage of
those employed in the first quarter after
exit that were still employed in the
second and third quarter after program
exit); earnings increase (percentage
change in earnings pre-registration to
post-program and first quarter after exit
to third quarter after exit); and
efficiency (annual cost per participant).
The Department is currently working
toward the implementation of these
common measures. Each grantee will be
required to collect and report data for
the common measures when they are
implemented.
In addition, the Department will
modify the annual performance
reporting form that grantees use for
progress reporting to ensure that
grantees separately report information
for individuals served exclusively by
their project. Grantees will report—(1)
The number of individuals served
exclusively by the project who achieved
successful employment outcomes; (2)
the number of individuals served by the
project who did not achieve
employment outcomes; and (3) the
number of individuals served by both
the State designated agency and the
project. We anticipate that this modified
performance reporting form will be
published for public comment in March
2007.

a. Electronic Submission of Applications.
Applications for grants under the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers
Program-CFDA Number 84.128G must be submitted electronically using the
Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at https://www.Grants.gov. Through
this site, you will be able to download a copy of the application
package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your
application. You may not e-mail an electronic copy of a grant
application to us.
We will reject your application if you submit it in paper format
unless, as described elsewhere in this section, you qualify for one of
the exceptions to the electronic submission requirement and submit, no
later than two weeks before the application deadline date, a written
statement to the Department that you qualify for one of these
exceptions. Further information regarding calculation of the date that
is two weeks before the application deadline date is provided later in
this section under Exception to Electronic Submission Requirement.
You may access the electronic grant application for the Migrant and
Seasonal Farmworkers Program at https://www.Grants.gov. You must search
for the downloadable application package for this program by the CFDA
number. Do not include the CFDA number's alpha suffix in your search
(e.g., search for 84.128, not 84.128G).
Please note the following:
When you enter the Grants.gov site, you will find
information about submitting an application electronically through the
site, as well as the hours of operation.
Applications received by Grants.gov are date and time
stamped. Your application must be fully uploaded and submitted, and
must be date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system no later than
4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date.
Except as otherwise noted in this section, we will not consider your
application if it is date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system
later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline
date. When we retrieve your application from Grants.gov, we will notify
you if we are rejecting your application because it was date and time
stamped by the Grants.gov system after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors including the size of the
application and the speed of your Internet connection. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline
date to begin the application process through Grants.gov
You should review and follow the Education Submission
Procedures for submitting an application through Grants.gov that are
included in the application package for this competition to ensure that
you submit your application in a timely manner to the Grants.gov
system. You can also find the Education Submission Procedures
pertaining to Grants.gov at https://e-Grants.ed.gov/help/
GrantsgovSubmissionProcedures.pdf
To submit your application via Grants.gov, you must
complete all steps in the Grants.gov registration process (see https://
www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp). These steps include (1)
Registering your organization, a multi-part process that includes
registration with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR); (2)
registering yourself as an Authorized Organization Representative
(AOR); and (3) getting authorized as an AOR by your organization.
Details on these steps are outlined in the Grants.gov 3-Step
Registration Guide (see https://www.grants.gov/section910/
Grants.govRegistrationBrochure.pdf). You also must provide on your
application the same D-U-N-S Number used with this registration. Please
note that the registration process may take five or more business days
to complete, and you must have completed all registration steps to
allow you to submit successfully an application via Grants.gov. In
addition you will need to update your CCR registration on an annual
basis. This may take three or more business days to complete.
You will not receive additional point value because you
submit your application in electronic format, nor will we penalize you
if you qualify for an exception to the electronic submission
requirement, as described elsewhere in this section, and submit your
application in paper format.
You must submit all documents electronically, including
all information you typically provide on the following forms:
Application for Federal Assistance (SF 424), the Department of
Education Supplemental Information form SF 424, Budget Information--
Non-Construction Programs (ED 524), and all necessary assurances and
certifications. Please note that two of these forms--the SF 424 and the
Department of Education Supplemental Information form SF 424--have
replaced the ED 424 (Application for Federal Education Assistance).
You must attach any narrative sections of your application
as files in a .DOC (document), .RTF (rich text), or .PDF (Portable
Document) format. If you upload a file type other than the three file
types specified in this paragraph or submit a password protected file,
we will not review that material.
Your electronic application must comply with any page
limit requirements described in this notice.
After you electronically submit your application, you will
receive from Grants.gov an automatic notification of receipt that
contains a Grants.gov tracking number. (This notification indicates
receipt by Grants.gov only, not receipt by the Department.) The
Department then will retrieve your application from Grants.gov and send
a second notification to you by e-mail. This second notification
indicates that the Department has received your application and has
assigned your application a PR/Award number (an ED-specified
identifying number unique to your application).
We may request that you provide us original signatures on
forms at a later date.
Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical Issues
with the Grants.gov System: If you are experiencing problems submitting
your application through Grants.gov, please contact the Grants.gov
Support Desk at 1-800-518-4726. You must obtain a Grants.gov Support
Desk Case Number and must keep a record of it.
If you are prevented from electronically submitting your
application on the application deadline date because of technical
problems with the Grants.gov system, we will grant you an extension
until 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, the following business day to
enable you to transmit your application electronically, or by hand
delivery. You also may mail your application by following the mailing
instructions as described elsewhere in this notice.
If you submit an application after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date, please contact the person listed
elsewhere in this notice under For Further Information Contact, and
provide an explanation of the technical problem you experienced with
Grants.gov, along with the Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number. We will
accept your application if we can confirm that a technical problem
occurred with the Grants.gov system and that that problem
[[Page 13760]]
affected your ability to submit your application by 4:30 p.m.,
Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. The Department
will contact you after a determination is made on whether your
application will be accepted.
Note: The extensions to which we refer in this section apply
only to the unavailability of, or technical problems with, the
Grants.gov system. We will not grant you an extension if you failed
to fully register to submit your application to Grants.gov before
the application deadline date and time or if the technical problem
you experienced is unrelated to the Grants.gov system.
Exception to Electronic Submission Requirement: You qualify for an
exception to the electronic submission requirement, and may submit your
application in paper format, if you are unable to submit an application
through the Grants.gov system because--
You do not have access to the Internet; or
You do not have the capacity to upload large documents to
the Grants.gov system; and
No later than two weeks before the application deadline
date (14 calendar days or, if the fourteenth calendar day before the

V. Application Review Information
Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for this competition are
from 34 CFR 75.210 and are listed in the application package.
VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your
U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award
Notification (GAN). We may also notify you informally.
If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding,
we notify you.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy requirements in the application
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and
include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: At the end of your project period, you must submit a
final performance report, including financial information, as directed
by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an
annual performance report that provides the most current performance
and financial expenditure information as specified by the Secretary in
34 CFR 75.118.
4. Performance Measures: The Government Performance and Results Act
of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal departments and agencies to improve the
effectiveness of their programs by engaging in strategic planning,
setting outcome-related goals for programs, and measuring program
results against those goals. Program officials must develop performance
measures for all their grant programs to assess their performance and
effectiveness. The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) has
established the following performance measure for the Migrant and
Seasonal Farmworkers Program and will use this measure to assess the
effectiveness of the program.
Percentage of individuals served who were placed in
employment.
[[Page 13761]]
Each grantee must annually report on this measure in its annual
performance report. In addition, the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers
Program is part of the Administration's job training and employment
common measures initiative. The common measures for job training and
employment programs targeting adults are: entered employment
(percentage employed in the first quarter after program exit);
retention in employment (percentage of those employed in the first
quarter after exit that were still employed in the second and third
quarter after program exit); earnings increase (percentage change in
earnings pre-registration to post-program and first quarter after exit
to third quarter after exit); and efficiency (annual cost per
participant). The Department is currently working toward the
implementation of these common measures. Each grantee will be required
to collect and report data for the common measures when they are
implemented.
In addition, the Department will modify the annual performance
reporting form that grantees use for progress reporting to ensure that
grantees separately report information for individuals served
exclusively by their project. Grantees will report--(1) The number of
individuals served exclusively by the project who achieved successful
employment outcomes; (2) the number of individuals served by the
project who did not achieve employment outcomes; and (3) the number of
individuals served by both the State designated agency and the project.
We anticipate that this modified performance reporting form will be
published for public comment in March 2007.
