DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Policy and Procedural Change To No Longer Publish Notices of 
Funding Opportunities in the Federal Register

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to announce that the Department of Labor 
(DOL)'s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) will no longer 
publish Notices of Funding Opportunities in the Federal Register. ETA 
will continue to post the full texts of all ETA's Funding Opportunity 
Announcements (FOAs) at the government-wide Internet site, http://www.grants.gov, in accordance with the policy directive issued by the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB). An applicant for funding may 
access the full FOA associated with a synopsis posted at http://www.grants.gov by following the universal resource locator (URL) link 
included in the synopsis, or by visiting ETA's Web site at http://www.doleta.gov.

DATES: Effective Date: December 29, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laura P. Watson, 200 Constitution 
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone: 202-693-3333.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ETA continually searches for ways to improve 
its operating and economic efficiency. DOL's policies currently provide 
for publication of one page notices of FOAs in the Federal Register. In 
addition to the publication of notices of FOAs in the Federal Register, 
DOL, like all Federal agencies, is mandated to publish FOAs on http://www.grants.gov. ETA has published the full text of FOAs on both http://www.grants.gov and on its Web site. The Web sites provide the public 
with a more efficient way to complete FOAs and expedite the process of 
obtaining any available funding.
    On October 8, 2003, OMB issued a policy directive entitled 
``Requirement to Post Funding Opportunity Announcement Synopses at 
http://www.grants.gov and Related Data Elements/Format'' [68 FR 58146, 
Oct. 8, 2003]. The directive requires every Federal agency that awards 
agreements to post synopses of its funding opportunity announcements in 
standard format on the Internet at http://www.grants.gov or such Web 
site/Internet address that may be identified by OMB. A single 
government-wide Web site provides prospective applicants the 
opportunity to locate funding opportunities in one place rather than 
having to search for announcements in multiple locations. This was 
reinforced by OMB's issuance of its Uniform Guidance on December 26, 
2014 [2 CFR 200], which specifically calls for notices of funding 
opportunities to include specific information when posted on http://www.grants.gov.
    ETA has determined that, given the mandated shift towards the 
singular usage of http://www.grants.gov for funding opportunity 
information, it has

[[Page 96048]]

become redundant to continue to publish abbreviated notices for these 
in the Federal Register. Hereafter, we will suspend the use of these 
notices to announce funding opportunities, and continue to post the 
full text of FOAs at http://www.grants.gov and on our own Web site. The 
increasing use of http://www.grants.gov as a funding opportunity portal 
will allow the public to still have access to the complete application 
package and other details regarding the FOA.

Portia Wu,
Assistant Secretary, Employment and Training Administration.
