Background The Department is announcing preliminary PY 2023 allotments for the NFJP. This notice provides information on the amount of funds available during PY 2023 to state service areas awarded through the PY 2020 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for the NFJP Career Services and Training and Housing Grants. The allotments are based on the funds appropriated in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, Public Law 117–328 (from this point forward will be referred to as the ‘‘the Act’’). In appropriating these funds, Congress provided $90,134,000 for formula grants (of which $90,032,000 was allotted after $102,000 was set aside for program integrity), $6,591,000 for migrant and seasonal farmworker housing (of which $6,584,000 was allotted after $7,000 was set aside for program integrity and of which not less than 70 percent shall be for permanent housing), and another $671,000 was set aside for discretionary purposes. The Housing grant allotments are distributed as a result of a competition and according to language in the appropriations law requiring that of the total amount available, not less than 70 percent shall be allocated to permanent housing activities, leaving not more than 30 percent to temporary housing activities. This notice includes the following sections: • Section II of this notice provides a discussion of the data used to populate the formula. • Section III describes the holdharmless provision for the implementation year. • Section IV describes minimum funding provisions to address State service areas that would receive less than $60,000. • Section V describes the application of the formula and the hold-harmless provision using preliminary state allotments for PY 2023. II. Description of Data Files and Allotment Formula As with all state planning estimates since 1999, the PY 2023 estimates are based on four data sources: (1) Statelevel, 2017 hired farm labor expenditure data from the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Census of Agriculture (COA); (2) regional-level, 2017 average hourly earnings data from the USDA’s Farm Labor Survey; (3) regional-level, 2010–2018 demographic data from the ETA’s National E:\FR\FM\16MYN1.SGM 16MYN1
