DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On June 9, 2021, the Department of 

Justice lodged a proposed Consent 

Decree with the United States District 

Court for the District of Massachusetts 

in the lawsuit entitled United States of 

America v. City of Quincy, 

Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:19– 

cv–10483–RGS. 

The United States filed a Complaint 

against the City of Quincy, 

Massachusetts (‘‘City’’) on March 14, 

2019, alleging violations of the Clean 

Water Act. The Complaint alleged that 

sewage in the City’s sanitary sewer 

system had leaked from the sanitary 

system and entered the separate storm 

sewer system, ultimately discharging 

with storm water into Quincy Bay and 

other receiving waters. The Complaint 

also alleged that the City’s sanitary 

sewer system had overflowed on 

numerous occasions, resulting in 

discharges of sewage. The Consent 

Decree calls for the City to implement 

a comprehensive and integrated 

program to investigate, repair, and 

rehabilitate its stormwater and sanitary 

sewer systems, with all investigations 

and remedial work completed by 

December 31, 2034. The City will also 

pay a $115,000 penalty. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

Consent Decree. Comments should be

Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) Program Year 

(PY) 2021; Workforce Innovation and 

Opportunity Act (WIOA) Section 167, 

National Farmworker Jobs Program 

(NFJP) Grantee Allotments 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces 

Program Year (PY) 2021 allotments to 

States for the National Farmworker Jobs 

Program (NFJP), which is authorized 

under the Workforce Innovation and 

Opportunity Act (WIOA), Section 167. 

These allotments are based on the funds 

appropriated in the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021 (from this 

point forward will be referred to as the 

‘‘the Act’’). 

DATES: The PY 2021 NFJP allotments 

become effective for the grant period 

that begins July 1, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Questions on this notice can 

be submitted to the Employment and 

Training Administration, Office of 

Workforce Investment, Attention at:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published according to Section 

182(d) of the WIOA, Prompt Allotment 

of Funds. ETA developed the formula to 

distribute funds geographically by state 

service area, based on each state service 

area’s relative share of persons eligible 

for the program. The formula’s original 

methodology is described in the Federal 

Register notice 64 FR 27390, May 19, 

1999. That information is accessible at 

https://www.federalregister.gov/. In PY 

2018, ETA incorporated two 

modifications to the allotment formula 

to provide 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. The 

revised formula methodology is 

described in the Federal Register notice 

83 FR 32151, July 11, 2018. 

Two modifications were incorporated 

into the formula for PY 2021. These 

modifications improve the formula’s 

accuracy in terms of estimating the true 

NFJP-eligible population in state service 

areas, and one of the modifications is 

necessitated by a recent statutory 

change to the NFJP eligibility criteria, 

which Congress enacted in the FY 2021 

appropriation. Section II includes 

further explanation of these 

modifications. 

This notice represents the final of a 

two-stage process. ETA published a 

notice requesting public comments on 

May 10, 2021, regarding the formula 

methodology and modifications. 

Additionally, ETA hosted a webinar on 

May 5, 2021, to share the preliminary 

allotments, explained the data sources, 

and encourage response to the notice 

published shortly thereafter. ETA did 

not receive any comments through the 

public comment process. In this final 

stage, ETA is publishing the final 

formula and final allotment levels. 

I. Background 

The Department is announcing the 

final PY 2021 allotments for the 

National Farmworker Jobs Program 

(NFJP). This notice provides 

information on the amount of funds 

available during PY 2021 to state service 

areas awarded grants through Funding 

Opportunity Announcements FOA– 

ETA–20–08 and FOA–ETA–20–08–A for 

the NFJP Career Services and Training 

grants and Housing grants. Funds to 

implement NFJP are appropriated in the 

Act. In appropriating these funds, 

Congress provided $87,083,000 for 

formula grants (of which $86,946,000 

was allotted after $137,000 was set aside 

for program integrity), $6,256,000 for 

migrant and seasonal farmworker 

housing (of which not less than 70 

percent shall be for permanent housing), 

and another $557,000 for discretionary 

purposes. Included below is the table 

listing the PY 2021 allotments for the 

NFJP Career Services and Training 

grants. Individual grants are awarded for 

Housing as a result of the grants 

competition and are further distributed 

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. 

II. Description of Data Files and Review 

of PY 2021 Modifications to the 

Allotment Formula 

As with all state planning estimates 

since 1999, the PY 2021 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 

Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS); 

and, (4) 2015–2019 (5-year file) data 

from the United States Census Bureau’s 

American Community Survey (ACS). A 

detailed description of how each data 

source is used within the formula is in 

the Federal Register notice 64 FR 

27390, May 19, 1999). In addition to 

populating the formula with updated 

data, ETA incorporated two 

modifications that will improve the 

formula’s accuracy in terms of 

estimating the true NFJP-eligible 

population in state service areas. One of 

the modifications is necessitated by the 

change to the NFJP eligibility criteria 

applicable to the PY 2021 appropriation. 

(1) First, the Act expands program 

eligibility for grants funded by the PY 

2021 appropriation to include 

farmworkers who are in families with 

total family incomes at or below 150 

percent of the poverty line. Therefore, 

the PY 2021 allocations used special 

tabulations of data from the ACS and 

the NAWS to estimate the share of 

farmworkers with total family incomes 

at or below 150 percent of the poverty 

line. ETA will subsequently revise the 

PY 2022 guidance regarding the 

definition of ‘‘low-income individual,’’ 

as needed if the same provision is not 

included in subsequent appropriations. 

(2) Second, and to more closely align 

the formula with the definition of 

eligible migrant and seasonal 

farmworker under WIOA Section 167(i) 

and 20 CFR 685.110 and clarified in the 

Training and Employment Guidance 

Letter 18–16, ETA modified how the 

formula accounts for crop workers who 

are primarily employed in agriculture. 

This formula considers a crop worker to 

be primarily employed in agriculture if 

at least 50 percent of their total 

individual income is from farm work or
