SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent
with section 9(f) of the Reclamation
Project Act of 1939, and the rules and
regulations published in 52 FR 11954,
April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22),
Reclamation will publish notice of
proposed or amendatory contract
actions for any contract for the delivery
of project water for authorized uses in
newspapers of general circulation in the
affected area at least 60 days prior to
contract execution. Announcements
may be in the form of news releases,
legal notices, official letters,
memorandums, or other forms of
written material. Meetings, workshops,
and/or hearings may also be used, as
appropriate, to provide local publicity.
The public participation procedures do
not apply to proposed contracts for the
sale of surplus or interim irrigation
water for a term of 1 year or less. Either
of the contracting parties may invite the
public to observe contract proceedings.
All public participation procedures will
be coordinated with those involved in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to
the ‘‘Final Revised Public Participation
Procedures’’ for water resource-related
contract negotiations, published in 47
FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation
is provided of all proposed contractual
actions in each of the five Reclamation
regions. When contract negotiations are
completed, and prior to execution, each
proposed contract form must be
approved by the Secretary of the
Interior, or pursuant to delegated or
redelegated authority, the Commissioner
of Reclamation or one of the regional
directors. In some instances,
congressional review and approval of a
report, water rate, or other terms and
conditions of the contract may be
involved.
Public participation in and receipt of
comments on contract proposals will be
facilitated by adherence to the following
procedures:
1. Only persons authorized to act on
behalf of the contracting entities may
negotiate the terms and conditions of a
specific contract proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or

Section 167, National Farmworker Jobs
Program (NFJP) Grantee Allotments
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This Notice announces
allotments for Program Year (PY) 2019
for the WIOA Title I Section 167
National Farmworker Jobs Program, as
required under Section 182(d) of the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act of 2014. The Department of Defense
and Labor, Health and Human Services,
and Education Appropriations Act,
2019, and Continuing Appropriations
Act, 2019, enacted September 28, 2018,
provides $82,447,000 for formula grants
and another $5,922,000 for migrant and
seasonal farmworker housing (of which
not less than 70 percent shall be for
permanent housing). Another $527,000
will be set aside for discretionary
purposes.
The formula was developed for the
purpose of distributing funds
geographically by State service area, on
the basis of each State service area’s
relative share of persons eligible for the
program. The formula’s methodology
was described in a notice published in
the Federal Register on May 19, 1999
(64 FR 27390). That information is
accessible at https://
www.federalregister.gov/.
Beginning with PY 2018, ETA
incorporated two modifications to the
allotment formula, with the goal of
providing more accurate estimates of
each State service area’s relative share of
persons eligible for the program. The
formula also used updated data from
each of the four data files serving as the
basis of the formula since 1999. Based
on the new estimates, the Department of
Labor (DOL or Department) instituted a
hold-harmless provision for PY 2018
and two following years. The holdharmless provision is designed to
provide a staged transition from old to
new funding levels for State service
areas and minimize the impact on those
states incurring significant change.
DATES: The PY 2019 NFJP allotments
become effective July 1, 2019 through
June 30, 2020.
