Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA FLC TEGL 21 20 FY21
The FY 2021 Foreign Labor Certification Grant Planning Guidance (Funding Opportunity Number: ETA FLC TEGL 21 20 FY21) is a mandatory grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It is tied to CFDA 17.273 and focuses on the Employment, Labor and Training activity area. The core purpose of this announcement is not to introduce a brand-new discretionary competition, but to provide formal guidance on how FY 2021 annual grant allocations are to be funded, managed, and carried out for Foreign Labor Certification (FLC) program activities.
At a practical level, the opportunity is designed to support the administration and execution of FLC-related work during the FY 2021 grant period. That generally means enabling recipients to perform the program functions required under the Foreign Labor Certification system, which supports lawful pathways for employers to meet labor needs while maintaining program integrity and protecting U.S. workers. Because the announcement is described as “grant planning guidance,” it typically emphasizes expectations around budgeting, allowable activities, performance and reporting, oversight, and how recipients should align their planned work with ETA requirements for FLC program operations.
The award structure indicates a nationwide scope with an expected 55 awards, suggesting the funding is distributed across multiple grantees rather than concentrated in a small number of large awards. The listed award ceiling is $1,923,695, which reflects the maximum amount anticipated for an individual award under this guidance. Since the opportunity category is marked as mandatory, eligibility and selection are generally driven by statutory or formula-based criteria, established program designations, or predefined recipient categories rather than an open-ended competitive process.
Eligibility is listed as “Others,” with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement’s “Additional Information on Eligibility” section. In ETA FLC contexts, this often corresponds to specific governmental or quasi-governmental entities responsible for employment-related functions, such as state workforce agencies or other designated organizations involved in administering employment and labor programs. Anyone assessing fit would need to confirm their status against the eligibility language in the full guidance document rather than relying solely on the high-level label.
Key timing details include a creation date of May 11, 2021, and an original closing date of June 10, 2021. Applications had to be received by the stated deadline on June 10, 2021, by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (noting the source text displays the time in an unusual format). Overall, this opportunity is best understood as ETA’s FY 2021 instruction and framework for how designated recipients should plan for, administer, and account for funding that supports ongoing Foreign Labor Certification program work.Apply for ETA FLC TEGL 21 20 FY21
