Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA FLC TEGL 15 24
The Foreign Labor Certification Grant Planning Guidance for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 through FY 2027 (Funding Opportunity Number ETA FLC TEGL 15 24) is a mandatory U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) grant notice that lays out how State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) should plan and administer foreign labor certification grant activities over a multi-year period running through FY 2027. The core purpose is not to run a competitive application process, but to provide operating and planning guidance and to announce each jurisdiction's grant allotment for FY 2025 so SWAs can budget, staff, and carry out required foreign labor certification-related responsibilities in a consistent way across the country.
This opportunity is specifically aimed at SWAs, meaning state-level agencies that handle workforce and employment administration duties, including work connected to foreign labor certification programs. Eligibility is limited to states and equivalent jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In the source listing, eligible applicants are described as "State governments" and "Others," but the narrative makes clear the intended recipients are SWAs in the covered jurisdictions. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 17.273, which corresponds to foreign labor certification-related grant support under ETA.
Because the opportunity is categorized as "Mandatory," awards are generally driven by statutory or formula-based allotments rather than discretionary, merit-based selection. The announcement signals that ETA will make a broad set of awards, with an expected 54 awards, reflecting the nationwide footprint of SWAs and participating territories. The FY 2025 award ceiling listed in the source data is $2,221,084, indicating the maximum award amount expected for a single recipient under this particular funding action or allotment framework. In practice, individual allotments can vary by jurisdiction based on the program's allocation methodology and the workload or activity levels contemplated in the guidance, but the key point is that ETA is publicly posting the planning guidance and the FY 2025 allotments so states can align their spending plans and operational approach with federal expectations.
Administratively, this is a grant instrument (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) under the Employment, Labor and Training activity category, and it is issued by ETA. The record shows a creation date of 2025-06-12 and an original closing date of 2025-07-11. Even though a closing date is provided in the listing, the intent of this kind of guidance-and-allotment notice is typically to establish the parameters, timelines, and expectations for how recipients will manage their funds and comply with required reporting or planning steps during the covered fiscal years, rather than to invite a wide range of applicants to compete.
For operational questions related to the grant, ETA directs SWA staff to contact the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) National Office at FLC.Grant@dol.gov. That point matters because it clarifies the main channel for interpreting requirements, resolving grant administration issues, and addressing planning or funding questions as states implement the guidance through FY 2027.Apply for ETA FLC TEGL 15 24
