SUMMARY: In notice document 95-15745 on page 33237 in the issue of
Tuesday, June 27, 1995, an appendix containing the final allocations
for Program Year 1995 should have been published. Accordingly
republished below is the information found in notice document 95-15745,
as well as the appendix containing the final allocations for Program
Year 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Charles C. Kane, Chief, Division
of Seasonal Farmworker Programs. Telephone: (202) 219-5500 (this is not
a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Employment and Training Administration
publishes the final allocations for Program Year 1995 (July 1, 1995-
June 30, 1996).
The allocations set forth in the appendix to this notice were
computed according to the allocation formula published at 59 FR 17577
(April 13, 1994). For PY 1995, $85,710,000 were appropriated for
migrant and seasonal farmworker program. This amount is an increase of
$134,000 above the appropriation for PY 1994. This appropriation is
subject to reduction depending upon possible rescissions for FY 1995.
Each year since 1987, additional funds have been included to meet the
demand for training and employment services to Special Agricultural
Workers (SAWs) who became eligible for the program as a result of the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. In addition, the reports of
the House of Representatives and the Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the Department of Labor's 1995 appropriations state
that the committees expect the Department to continue the farmworker
housing program. The Department concurs with this request.
The allocation formula is being applied to $81,832,000. The
remaining $3,878,000 of the PY 1995 section 402 appropriation is being
held in the section 402 national account to fund the housing program
($3,000,000), the Hope, Arkansas, Migrant Rest Center ($300,000), and
other training and technical assistance projects.
Allocation Formula
As stated above, the $81,832,000 formula total was allocated on a
State-by-State basis using the same formula that was applied in PY
1994. This ensures programmatic stability.
Formula Allocations in Future Years
The Department intends to update the allocation formula to
incorporate more current data on the farmworker population. To this
end, in April 1994, a special task force was convened to explore
options for revising the formula and its bases. Findings from this task
force will be reflected in a new proposed allocation formula which will
be published in the Federal Register for comment.
