Description: Section 13(c)(4) of the

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29

U.S.C. 201 et seq., authorizes the

Secretary of Labor to grant a waiver of

the child labor provisions of the FLSA

for the agricultural employment of 10

and 11 year old minors in the hand

harvesting of short season crops if

specific requirements are met. The Act

requires that employers who are granted

such waivers keep on file a signed

statement of the parent or person

standing in the place of the parent of

each 10 and 11 year old minor,

consenting to their employment, along

with a record of the name and address

of the school in which the minor is

enrolled.

The application for a waiver and

supporting data is used by the

Department of Labor to determine

whether the statutory requirements and

conditions for granting an exemption

have been met which would permit the

applicants to employ 10 and 11 year

olds to hand harvest short season crops.

Without this information, the

Department of Labor would not have the

statutory authority to grant a waiver.

AGENCY: Women’s Bureau, Department

of Labor.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds

and solicitation for grant applications

(SGA 01–03).

Note: This notice contains all of the

information needed to apply for grant

funding. Grant proposals that are not

completed as directed will be judged nonresponsive and will not be evaluated.

SUMMARY: The Women’s Bureau, U.S.

Department of Labor (DOL), announces

the 2001 Solicitation for Grant

Applications (SGA) authorized under

the Women in Apprenticeship and

Nontraditional Occupations (WANTO)

Act of 1992. The purpose of this

program is to assist employers and labor

unions in the placement and retention

of women in apprenticeship and

nontraditional occupations. To that end,

WANTO grant funds are disbursed to

eligible community-based organizations

which, in turn, provide employers and

labor unions with technical assistance

geared towards the successful

placement and retention of women in

apprenticeship and nontraditional

occupations.

DATES: One signed original, complete

grant application plus five copies of the

Technical Proposal and two copies of

the Cost Proposal must be submitted by

5 p.m. EST, July 16, 2001. Handdelivered applications must be received

by that time. Applications transmitted

by facsimile, e-mail, or telegraph will

not be considered.

An application received after July 16,

2001, will not be considered unless:

1. It was sent by registered or certified

mail not later than July 9, 2001;

2. It is determined by the Government

that the late receipt was due solely to

mishandling by the Government after

receipt at the U.S. Department of Labor

at the address listed under ADDRESSES;

or

3. It was sent by U.S. Postal Service

Express Mail Next Day Service-Post

Office to Addressee, not later than 5

p.m. EST on July 12, 2001.

The only acceptable evidence to

establish the date of mailing of a late

application sent by registered or

certified mail is the U.S. Postal Service

postmark on the envelope or wrapper

and on the original receipt from the U.S.

Postal Service. If the postmark is not

legible, an application received after the

specified time and date will be

processed as if mailed late. ‘‘Postmark’’

means a printed, stamped, or otherwise

placed impression (not a postage meter

machine impression) that is readily

identifiable without further action as

having been applied and affixed by an

employee of the U.S. Postal Service on

the date of mailing. Therefore,

applicants shall request that the postal

clerk place a legible hand cancellation

bull’s-eye postmark on both the receipt

and the wrapper or envelope.

The only acceptable evidence to

establish the date of mailing of a late

application sent by U.S. Postal Service

Mail Next Day Service-Post Office to

Addressee is the date entered by the

post office receiving clerk on the

‘‘Express Mail Next Day Service-Post

Office to Addressee’’ label and the

postmark on the envelope or wrapper

and on the original receipt from the U.S.

Postal Service. ‘‘Postmark’’ has the same

meaning as defined in the preceding

paragraph. Therefore, applicants shall

request that the postal clerk place a

legible hand cancellation bull’s-eye

postmark on both the receipt and the

envelope or wrapper.

The only acceptable evidence to

establish the time of receipt at the U.S.

Department of Labor is the date/time

stamp of the Office of Procurement

Services on the application wrapper or

other documentary evidence of receipt

maintained by that office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Part I. Background

A. Authority and Funding

The Women in Apprenticeship and

Nontraditional Occupations Act of 1992

(WANTO)(29 U.S.C. 2501 et seq.)

authorizes DOL to disburse technical

assistance grants. The WANTO grants

for Fiscal Year (FY) 2001 are funded by

DOL FY 2001 Budget: Training and

Employment Services (TES)1610174.

The Women’s Bureau (WB) coadministers the WANTO program with

the DOL Office of Apprenticeship

Training, Employer & Labor Services

(ATELS). WB has responsibility for

implementing the grant process.

B. Purpose

This grant program is designed to

assist employers and labor unions (E/

LU) in the placement and retention of

women in specific sections of the

workforce. It is envisioned that the

program will promote increased

participation by women in

apprenticeship and nontraditional

occupations (A/NTO). Therefore,

WANTO grant funds are distributed to

community based organizations (CBO),

which provide technical assistance to E/

LU with the goal of placing and

retaining women in these occupations.

DOL has found that placement and

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2001 / Notices 32377

retention of women in A/NTO pose

significant challenges. Those challenges

are especially acute in fields requiring

high technology skills, such as those

related to computer-based information

technology, for example,

telecommunications, utilities,

manufacturing, transportation, and

general services.

C. Grant Awards

The WB is soliciting proposals on a

competitive basis for the WANTO

program. WB anticipates that each

grantee will receive between $50,000

and $100,000 in funds to conduct

innovative projects that comply with the

goals set forth in WANTO and in this

SGA. The period of performance begins

September 30, 2001, and ends on

September 29, 2002. The initial

performance period may be extended

once, for up to three months, at no

additional cost to DOL, so that a grantee

can finish its final reports. Each

application shall clearly state the

applicant’s intention to begin

performance no later than October 1,

2001.

Part II. Application Process

A. Eligible Applicants—CommunityBased Organizations

DOL will award grants through a

competitive process which identifies the

best Community-Based Organizations

(CBO) applicants. Applicants shall

provide evidence, where available,

demonstrating their ability to connect

women to apprenticeship and

nontraditional occupations. Applicants

shall also document any experience in

enabling women and/or businesses to

contact ATELS field offices for

assistance and/or for information

pertaining to apprenticeship training/

placement. A CBO must not be

classified under the IRS Tax Code as a

501(c)(4) entity nor be a public body

such as a governmental body, public

school, college, or hospital. All

proposals must document that these

eligibility requirements have been, and

will continue to be, satisfied.

A consortium of CBOs may apply for

a grant provided they include a copy of

the consortium agreement and identify

the entity/entities that will administer

the grant.

B. Application Contents

The proposals must consist of the

following information:

1. Table of Contents, listing all of the

report sections.

2. A Two-Page Abstract, giving a clear

summary of the technical proposal.

3. Eligibility Documentation, as set

forth in Part II, Section A, of this notice.

4. Statement of Work, stated in a clear

and concise manner. Explain how the

Technical Assistance (TA) project:

a. Complies With Allowable Activities

Grant funds may be used to provide

a broad range of TA to assist E/LU in

recruiting and retaining women in A/

NTO. Examples of allowable TA are:

establishing or improving upon

workplace assessment tools and

surveys; the development of strategic

plans for changes in the workplace and

in work practices that support women;

and providing E/LU that have pledged

employment and/or sponsored

apprenticeship opportunities for women

with linkages to pre-apprenticeship

programs. The TA services may, in part,

encompass supportive services (such as

setting up support groups, assisting with

child-care, tools, uniforms, and

transportation) that help women enter

and remain in A/NTO. However, the

primary emphasis shall be on TA that

helps E/LU increase the number of

women employed in A/NTO. For

additional examples of allowable project

activities, see section 4 of the WANTO

Act (29 U.S.C. 2503).

b. Develops 10 or More New

Relationships With E/LU

Grantees need to develop

relationships with E/LU in order to

provide the E/LU with technical

assistance. Without these relationships,

a grantee’s efforts to place women in A/

NTO are unlikely to be productive.

Expanding the availability of TA can

dramatically increase women’s

awareness of and participation in A/

NTO.

c. Builds Upon the CBO’s Established

Working Relationships With E/LU

Applicants should show how their

existing linkages with E/LU have been

and can continue to be effective in

moving working women from NTOrelated entry level employment into

registered apprenticeship or other

higher-skilled NTO employment,

including employment that requires

high-technology skills.

5. Documentation of the following:

A. Established and developing

working relationships with E/LU;

b. Successful experience in

administering a program that provides

TA, particularly information and

support, to E/LU for placing women in

A/NTO. Such TA should be the major

component of the CBO’s activities.

Activities can also include outreach,

orientation, mentoring, support groups,

networks, workplace consultation,

employee and supervisory workshops,

seminars, and other workplace-specific

strategic planning to increase the

participation of women in A/NTO;

c. Leadership in promoting economic

self-sufficiency for women and (where

applicable) in mentoring other CBO

participating in the WANTO program;

and

d. Names of ten or more targeted E/

LU to whom the CBO plans to provide

TA, along with the information required

by Part II, Section A, of this notice.

6. The number of women to be placed

into A/NTO;

7. A support services plan for women

when the TA results in women being

placed into A/NTO. These plans should

include cooperative E/LU programs and

community-based services, as well as

those available at the workplace;

8. A description of any leveraging or

co-funding anticipated for the

accomplishment of the proposed

project;

9. The inclusion of any activities that

would encourage and promote the

continuation or expansion of grant

activities beyond the grant period; and

10. The inclusion of a management

plan and job descriptions.

a. The management plan must

include: the CBO’s organizational chart,

and where applicable, a narrative

differentiating among the CBO’s, the

consultant’s, and the sub-contractor’s

staffs and the names and full resumes of

any proposed staff.

b. The job descriptions must identify:

all key tasks; the hours required for the

completion of such tasks; the person(s)

responsible for completing each task,

including sub-contractors and

consultants; and the month-to-month

time-line charting the tasks.

11. A listing of all items for which

grant funds will be expended. Do not

include any cost information, only

expenditure items.

12. Copies of the CBO’s budget and

major funding sources for the past three

(3) years, including foundation and

government funds, as well as other

types of funding.

Part III. Format of the Technical

To be considered responsive to this

SGA, each application must consist of,

and follow the order of, the sections

listed in Part II, Section B (Application

Process, Application Contents), of this

solicitation. The application must also

include information that the applicant

believes will address the selection

criteria identified in Part V. ANY

PROPOSAL THAT DOES NOT

CONFORM TO THESE STANDARDS

SHALL BE DEEMED NONRESPONSIVE TO THIS SGA AND WILL

NOT BE EVALUATED.

Part V. Evaluation Criteria and

Selection

Applicants are advised that selection

for a grant award will be made after

careful evaluation of technical proposals

by a review panel. Each panelist will

evaluate applications against the various

criteria on the basis of 100 points

available. The scores will then serve as

the primary basis to select applications

for a potential award. The WB retains

the discretion to request that grant

applicants clarify statements made in

their proposals.

A. Technical Evaluation Criteria/Points

1. Organizational Overview

Applicants must demonstrate their

experience with the movement of

women to apprenticeship and

nontraditional occupations, as well as

their capabilities and qualifications.

Information submitted should include

qualifications of the staff through the

submission of pertinent materials such

as resumes and organizational charts. In

addition, applicants must explain how

the proposed management and staffing

plans will be responsive to the needs of

women—up to 40

2. Established E/LU Linkages

Applicants must demonstrate

commitments and/or potential for five

(5) or more new working relationships

with E/LU and demonstrate experience

or potential for working with employed

women to move them into

apprenticeship or NTO—up to 20

3. Scope of WANTO Project and

Projected Outcomes

Applicants must document their

workplace assessment and technical

assistance strategies for upgrading the

skills of women in NTO and ‘‘focus

industries’’ and for promoting changes

in the workplace culture and in work

practices that lead to increased numbers

of women in A/NTO. Such information

should include an applicant’s support

services plan; budget; listing of cost

items; numbers of women to be placed;

proposed A/NTO outcomes; leverage

and continuance TA—up to 40

4. Bonus Points

Bonus points will be awarded, as

follows, for projects that demonstrate

their experience or indicate their plans

to:

a. Provide opportunities for women to

be placed into A/NTO pertaining to the

high-technology fields—up to 10

b. Provide services for disabled

women to be placed into A/NTO—up to

10

Overall, the Department will review

grant proposals to determine whether

CBO applicants: (a) Demonstrate

experience preparing women to gain

employment in apprenticeable

occupations or other nontraditional

occupations; (b) demonstrate experience

working with the business community

in preparing women to enter

apprenticeable occupations or other

nontraditional occupations; (c) have

tradeswomen or women in

nontraditional occupations as active

members of their organizations, as either

employed staff or as board members;

and (d) have experience delivering TA.

B. Cost Criteria

Proposals will be ranked, based on

their costs, in relation to other proposals

submitted in response to this SGA.

C. Total Score

When ranking the proposals for the

purposes of making selections for

awards, the technical quality of the

proposals will be weighted three (3)

times the estimated price. Proposals

received will be evaluated by a review

panel based on the criteria described in

this SGA under Technical Evaluation

Criteria 1 and 2. The panel’s

recommendations will be advisory, and

final awards will be made based on the

best interests of the Government,

including, but not limited to, such

factors as technical quality, geographic

balance, and occupational and/or

industrial impact.

The submission of a previous

proposal for a WANTO grant from any

prior year does not guarantee an award

under this solicitation. A final or the

most recent technical report for

WANTO programs should be submitted

with this application. Although the

Government reserves the right to award

on the basis of the applicants’ initial

submissions, the Government may

establish a competitive range or

technically acceptable range based upon

proposal evaluation for the purpose of

selecting qualified applicants. The

panel’s conclusions are advisory in

nature and not binding on the Grant

Officer. The Government reserves the

right to ask for clarification or hold

discussions, but is not obligated to do

so. The Grant Officer’s determination for

award under this SGA 01–03 is the final

agency action.

Nonprofit Organizations.

Part VIII. Definitions

The following terms are defined for

the convenience of prospective

applicants:

Nontraditional Occupations (NTO) are

those where women account for less

than 25 percent of all persons employed

in a single occupational group.

Pre-Apprenticeship Programs are

those which prepare individuals for

occupational skills training or entrylevel employment in NTO. The

curriculum includes pre-vocational

instruction in identification and use of

tools, blueprint reading, basic shop

skills, and safety procedures, as well as

math skills and physical conditioning.

Apprenticeship is a formal

employment relationship designed to

promote skill training and learning on

the job. ‘‘Hands on’’ learning takes place

in conjunction with related theoretical

instruction (often in a classroom

setting). An apprentice who successfully

completes an ATELS-registered

program, which usually requires 3 to 5

years, is awarded a certificate of

completion.

Employers, or groups of employers,

and unions design, organize, manage,

and finance apprenticeship programs

32380 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2001 / Notices

under the standards developed and

registered with ATELS or ATELSrecognized State Apprenticeship

Agencies. They also select apprentices

who are trained to meet certain predetermined occupational standards.

Community-Based Organizations

(CBO) are private non-profit

organizations, which may be faithbased, which are representative of

communities or significant segments of

communities and which have

demonstrated experience administering

programs that train women for A/NTO.

Pennsylvania. The notice was published

in the Federal Register on April 5, 2001

(66 FR 18117).

At the request of the petitioners, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information shows that worker

separations occurred at the Tipton,

Pennsylvania facility of C-Cor.net

Corporation. The workers are engaged in

employment related to the production of

cable television amplifiers.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to cover

works of C-Cor.net Corporation, Tipton,

Pennsylvania.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

C-Cor.net Corporation adversely affected

by increased imports.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–38,690 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of C-Cor.net Corporation, State

College, Pennsylvania (TA–W–38,690) and

Tipton, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania (TA–W–

Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a Notice of

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on April 13, 2001, applicable

to workers of CMI Industries, Inc.,

Clinton Fabric Division, Clinton, South

Carolina. The notice was published in

the Federal Register on May 2, 2001 (66

FR 22007).

At the request of the company, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information shows that worker

separations occurred at the Vance

Complex and the Administrative Office

of the Clinton Fabric Division of CMI

Industries, Clinton, South Carolina. The

Vance Complex workers are engaged in

the production of griege woven fabric.

Workers at the Administrative Office,

Clinton Fabric Division, CMI Industries

provide administrative services to

support the production of griege woven

fabric at the subject firms’

manufacturing facilities.

Based on these findings, the

Department is amending the

certification to include workers of the

Vance Complex and Administrative

Office, CMI Industries, Clinton Fabric

Division, Clinton, South Carolina.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

CMI Industries, Inc. who were adversely

affected by increased imports of griege

woven fabric.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–38,442 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of CMI Industries, Inc., Clinton

Fabric Division, Clinton, South Carolina

(TA–W–38,442) and Clinton Fabric Division,

Vance Complex, Clinton, South Carolina

(TA–W–38,442B) and Clinton Fabric

Division, Administrative Office, Clinton,

South Carolina (TA–W–38,442C) who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after December 4, 1999

through April 13, 2003 are eligible to apply

for adjustment assistance under Section 223

of the Trade Act of 1974.
