FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alina M. Walker, Program Manager (202) 693–2706 or Juan Regalado, National Monitor Advocate, at (202) 693–2661. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) is announcing final PY 2011 allocations for the NFJP. This notice provides information on the amount of funds available during PY 2011 to State service areas awarded grants through the PY 2011 Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) for the National Farmworker Jobs Program and the National Farmworker Jobs Program Housing Assistance SGA. The allocations are based on the funds appropriated in the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, Public Law 112–10, April 15, 2011. In appropriating these funds, Congress provided $78,253,180 for State service area grants; $5,688,600 for migrant and seasonal farmworker housing assistance grants; and $508,980 for Section 167 training and technical assistance and related activities. These amounts reflect the 0.2 percent rescission mandated by Congress which impacted all WIA programs. Included below is the table listing the PY 2011 allocations for the NFJP State service areas, as well as the suballocation table for California. California is the only State service area with more than one grant; the current suballocation formula for California was developed in collaboration with the VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 May 26, 2011 Jkt 223001 existing grantees. Individual grants are awarded for housing assistance as a result of the grants competition and are further distributed according to language in the appropriations law requiring that of the total amount available ($5,688,600) 70 percent be allocated to permanent housing activities ($3,981,474), and 30 percent ($1,705,346) to temporary/emergency housing activities. Formula Allocation for the NFJP The calculation of the PY 2011 formula allocation distribution incorporates the state-by-state relative shares of eligible farmworkers developed for the PY 2005 formula allocations using the updated datasets described above, with various adjustments applied since then. The PY 2005 calculation adjusted those state-bystate relative shares by ‘‘hold-harmless’’ and ‘‘stop-loss’’/’’stop-gain’’ limits due to the introduction of the updated data. The following year, the PY 2006 formula allocations were proportionately based on the PY 2005 formula allocations and further adjusted by an additional $3.8 million appropriated by Congress for States whose PY 2005 allocation had been reduced as a result of the updated data used for the PY 2005 formula allocation distribution. Detailed descriptions of the formula methodology for PY 2005 and PY 2006 formula allocations were provided in the applicable Federal Register announcements. The PY 2007 appropriation for the WIA Section 167 formula program was $470 less than the corresponding PY 2006 appropriation. To maintain stability of funding for the program and consistency with the PY 2006 congressional directions to the Department, the Department distributed the PY 2007 formula funding among all States in the same proportion as the distribution of the PY 2006 formula allocations. In all subsequent appropriations, including PY 2011, the Department continued to distribute the formula funding amount in the same proportion as the distribution of the prior year’s formula amounts. State Combinations We anticipate a single plan of service for operating the PY 2011 NFJP in the State service areas of Delaware and Maryland and the State service areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut. The sub-allocations for multiple sub-state service areas in California are discussed earlier in this Notice. PO 00000 Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day May, 2011.

Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Section 167, National Farmworker Jobs 
Program (NFJP) Allocations

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This Notice announces allocations for PY 2011 for the WIA 
Title I Section 167 National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) program. 
The NFJP allocations are distributed to the State service areas by a 
formula that estimates, by State, the relative demand for NFJP 
services. The formula factors used to allocate funds for the NFJP were 
published in the Federal Register on May 19, 1999. The notice explained 
the

[[Page 30979]]

purpose of the formula; i.e., distributing funds geographically by 
State service area on the basis of each area's relative share of 
farmworkers who are eligible for enrollment in the NFJP. The data used 
in the formula are comprised of a combination of data sets that were 
selected to yield the relative share distribution across States of 
eligible farmworkers. While the data factors used in the formula remain 
unchanged since their development in 1999, the data sets were last 
updated in 2005 with data from the 2000 Census, the 2003 National 
Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS), and the 2002 Census of Agriculture.

DATES: The PY 2011 NFJP allocations become effective for the program 
year beginning on July 1, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Questions on the allocations can be submitted to the 
Employment and Training Administration, Office of Financial and 
Administrative Management, 200 Constitution Ave., NW., Room N-4702, 
Washington, DC 20210, Attention: Ms. Anita Harvey, (202) 693-3958 
(phone), (202) 693-2859 (fax), or e-mail: Harvey.anita@dol.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alina M. Walker, Program Manager (202) 
693-2706 or Juan Regalado, National Monitor Advocate, at (202) 693-
2661.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) 
is announcing final PY 2011 allocations for the NFJP. This notice 
provides information on the amount of funds available during PY 2011 to 
State service areas awarded grants through the PY 2011 Solicitation for 
Grant Applications (SGA) for the National Farmworker Jobs Program and 
the National Farmworker Jobs Program Housing Assistance SGA.
    The allocations are based on the funds appropriated in the Full-
Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, Public Law 112-10, April 15, 
2011. In appropriating these funds, Congress provided $78,253,180 for 
State service area grants; $5,688,600 for migrant and seasonal 
farmworker housing assistance grants; and $508,980 for Section 167 
training and technical assistance and related activities. These amounts 
reflect the 0.2 percent rescission mandated by Congress which impacted 
all WIA programs.
    Included below is the table listing the PY 2011 allocations for the 
NFJP State service areas, as well as the sub-allocation table for 
California. California is the only State service area with more than 
one grant; the current sub-allocation formula for California was 
developed in collaboration with the existing grantees. Individual 
grants are awarded for housing assistance as a result of the grants 
competition and are further distributed according to language in the 
appropriations law requiring that of the total amount available 
($5,688,600) 70 percent be allocated to permanent housing activities 
($3,981,474), and 30 percent ($1,705,346) to temporary/emergency 
housing activities.
    Formula Allocation for the NFJP The calculation of the PY 2011 
formula allocation distribution incorporates the state-by-state 
relative shares of eligible farmworkers developed for the PY 2005 
formula allocations using the updated datasets described above, with 
various adjustments applied since then. The PY 2005 calculation 
adjusted those state-by-state relative shares by ``hold-harmless'' and 
``stop-loss''/''stop-gain'' limits due to the introduction of the 
updated data. The following year, the PY 2006 formula allocations were 
proportionately based on the PY 2005 formula allocations and further 
adjusted by an additional $3.8 million appropriated by Congress for 
States whose PY 2005 allocation had been reduced as a result of the 
updated data used for the PY 2005 formula allocation distribution. 
Detailed descriptions of the formula methodology for PY 2005 and PY 
2006 formula allocations were provided in the applicable Federal 
Register announcements.
    The PY 2007 appropriation for the WIA Section 167 formula program 
was $470 less than the corresponding PY 2006 appropriation. To maintain 
stability of funding for the program and consistency with the PY 2006 
congressional directions to the Department, the Department distributed 
the PY 2007 formula funding among all States in the same proportion as 
the distribution of the PY 2006 formula allocations. In all subsequent 
appropriations, including PY 2011, the Department continued to 
distribute the formula funding amount in the same proportion as the 
distribution of the prior year's formula amounts.
    State Combinations We anticipate a single plan of service for 
operating the PY 2011 NFJP in the State service areas of Delaware and 
Maryland and the State service areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut. 
The sub-allocations for multiple sub-state service areas in California 
are discussed earlier in this Notice.
