Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL 29 16
This grant opportunity, titled "Program Year 2017 Planning Guidance for National Farmworker Jobs Program," is a mandatory federal grant action issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It is published as Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 29-16 under CFDA number 17.264, and it focuses on administrative and program planning requirements for the National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) for Program Year (PY) 2017. Rather than being a typical competitive solicitation, it functions as official guidance and an allocation notice that existing NFJP grantees must follow in order to access their PY 2017 funding.
The core purpose is to give current NFJP grantees clear instructions for preparing, documenting, and submitting their PY 2017 program plans and budgets. ETA uses this guidance to standardize how grantees set performance goals for the year, how they present planned service strategies, and how they align spending with program requirements. It also communicates the PY 2017 funding allotments so grantees can build realistic plans and budgets based on the amounts ETA expects to make available to each grantee.
A key point is that PY 2017 funds are not automatically released simply because an organization is already an NFJP grantee. The guidance makes approval of the required program plan and budget documents a condition of receiving PY 2017 funding. In practical terms, grantees must submit the specified materials to ETA, and ETA must review and approve them before funds for the program year can be awarded or drawn down. This creates a formal accountability checkpoint to ensure the grantee's planned activities, staffing, service levels, and fiscal approach are consistent with NFJP rules and ETA expectations.
The opportunity applies to current NFJP Employment and Training grantees as well as NFJP Housing Assistance grantees. That distinction matters because the NFJP includes both workforce-related services (such as employment and training activities intended to help eligible farmworkers and their families achieve stable employment) and, for certain grantees, housing assistance components. The TEGL is meant to guide both types of grantees through the PY 2017 planning process so that their documents reflect the specific mix of services they are funded to deliver.
From the published opportunity details, the instrument type is a grant and the opportunity category is mandatory, indicating it is part of an established funding stream rather than an open call for new applicants. The eligible applicant field is listed as "Others," which in this context is best understood as the universe of existing NFJP grantees covered by the TEGL rather than the general public. ETA anticipated 63 awards, which aligns with the idea of distributing planned allotments across a set number of current grantees. No award ceiling is specified in the provided data, which is consistent with an allotment-based approach where amounts differ by grantee and are provided in an attached allocation table rather than set as a single maximum for all applicants.
The timeline information included shows an original closing date of June 30, 2017, and a creation date of June 26, 2017, signaling that the guidance and submission window for plans and budgets was time-sensitive. Grantees were expected to use the attached PY 2017 funding allotments to finalize their program plans, establish performance goals for the program year, and submit the full package to ETA for review within the required timeframe.
Overall, the TEGL 29-16 opportunity is best described as PY 2017 implementation guidance plus funding allocation notification for the NFJP. Its practical impact is that it tells existing NFJP grantees what they must submit, how they should frame their program design and performance targets for the year, and confirms that ETA approval of the plan and budget is required before PY 2017 grant funds can be provided.Apply for ETA TEGL 29 16
