(subject firm). The determination was
issued on December 11, 2012. The
Department’s Notice of Determination
was published in the Federal Register
on January 4, 2013 (78 FR 771). The
workers supply medical transcription
services.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that there was no shift in the
supply of services to a foreign country
by the subject firm and no increased
imports of services like or directly
competitive with those supplied by the
subject worker group.
The request for reconsideration
supplied new information regarding a
possible acquisition from a foreign
country by the subject firm of services
like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by the subject worker
group.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record, and will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of
January, 2013.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance.

ACTION: Notice of Solicitation for Grant
Applications (SGA).
AGENCY:
Funding Opportunity Number: SGA/

SUMMARY: The Employment and
Training Administration (ETA), U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL or
Department) announces a grant
competition for the National
Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP),
authorized under section 167 of the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA). NFJP
provides training, employment services,
and related assistance in order to
increase economic opportunities for
migrant and seasonal farmworkers
(MSFW) and their dependents. The
Department is exercising its option
under WIA to continue grant awards to
NFJP grantees that have performed
successfully, and hold a grant
competition for service delivery areas in
which the current grantee has not
performed adequately. Therefore, this
grant competition is only seeking
applications to operate NFJP in the
following service areas: California
(central California service area covering
Merced, Madera and Stanislaus
Counties), Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan,
Mississippi, New Jersey, and Puerto
Rico. A total of approximately $9.6
million is expected to be available for
grants in these service areas. However,
the final amount available depends
upon the amount of funds appropriated
for NFJP in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013
Department of Labor Appropriations
Act.
The complete SGA and any
subsequent SGA amendments in
connection with this solicitation are
described in further detail on ETA’s
Web site at https://www.doleta.gov/
grants/ or on https://www.grants.gov. The
Web sites provide application
information, eligibility requirements,
review and selection procedures, and
other program requirements governing
this solicitation.
