References: Farmworker Bulletin 91-26, "Carryover Reporting," July 26, 1991; and Farmworker Bulletin 89-11, "Federal Representatives' Responsibilities," May 18, 1989. Background: The assignment of Federal Representatives was revised in September. The Federal Representatives and the current grantee assignments are presented below: Responsibilities of Federal Representatives: The responsibilities of Federal Representatives were last sent out in Farmworker Bulletin 89-11, dated May 18, 1989. Since that time, ETA has undergone a steady downsizing that is expected to continue. As ETA's approach to its roles is gradually "reinvented," the evolving character of Federal level employment and training is slowly emerging to reveal an increasing emphasis on technical assistance as the tool for improving grantees' performance. The Federal Representative is the principal contact person with ETA's grantees. Consistent with the trend in ETA's role, grantees may expect the Federal Representative to either directly provide or arrange for assistance on a range of issues, including such matters as answers to daily technical questions, assistance with arrangements for specialized technical assistance from third parties, and informal (i.e., unofficial) interpretations of SS402 regulations and Bulletins. When specific assistance is requested by a grantee, this may include on-site technical assistance by a Division of Seasonal Farmworker Programs (DSFP) representative or other Federal staff as arranged by agreement with the grantee, and to the extent available travel funds permit. The assigned Federal Representative also serves as the principal member of ETA staff for fulfilling ETA's oversight obligations by: -- conducting compliance monitoring, -- evaluating performance, -- communicating and consulting with grantee staff on findings, -- following up on open audit findings, and -- responding to confidential complaints received from various sources, including grantee staff. Limits of Authority: Neither Federal Representatives, nor any other DSFP staff, are appointed Grant Officers. Consequently, Federal Representatives are not authorized to commit funds or provide official authorizations or determinations on the use of or allowability of funds. When a grantee seeks official opinions or authorizations to change the scope of work, cost, period of performance, terms or conditions of its grant, the DSFP staff will present the request or modification for these changes or actions to the Grant Officer. Federal Representatives or other SS402 staff will advise on such questions, and assist with communications with the Grant Officer. Each may be reached at (202) 219-8216.

The ceiling remains at its historical level of 20 percent of total funds available for the terminating Program Year (PY). The ceiling will continue at the 20 percent level for carryover of PY'96 funds into PY'97. Action: Grantees should have submitted a modification adjusting for final carryover dollars (and participants) from PY 1995 to PY 1996. Of course, the actual amount of carryover and the number of carryover participants should reconcile with the reported costs and activity for the accumulated 1995 program year, including the SPIR data sent to Social Policy Research. Grantees that have not done so should submit a grant modification which finalizes PY'95 carryover dollars and participant levels.
