Attestations by Employers Using Alien Crewmembers for Longshore Activities in U.S. Ports

The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration operates CFDA 17.252 to fund employer attestation activities related to H-1B nonimmigrant workers in U.S. port longshore operations, with the most recent grant award dated July 1, 2006.

This program has been inactive for twenty years. The most recent grant awards were issued in mid-2006, with 81 total awards spanning from August 2000 through July 2006. Award activity peaked in 2005 and 2006, when the program disbursed 28 and 26 awards respectively, following a pronounced dip in 2002 with only one award. The portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (68 percent, 55 awards) with a substantial Formula Grant component (32 percent, 26 awards). The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration is the sole funder, obligating $92.7 million across all 81 awards. Representative recent awards include Project Grant WR15401RF0 ($2.5 million, January 1, 2006), Project Grant HG15396RF0 ($5.935 million, January 1, 2006), Project Grant HG15412RF0 ($5 million, January 1, 2006), and Formula Grant HG15768TE0 ($1 million, July 1, 2006). Typical Project Grant awards in the final funding cycle ranged from approximately $1 million to $5.9 million, while Formula Grants ranged from $276 thousand to $2.7 million.

No grant opportunities are currently open under this Assistance Listing. The program's lack of activity since 2006 indicates it is not actively soliciting new applications. Organizations should not pursue funding under CFDA 17.252 at this time.
