Opportunity Summary:
The GEORGIA LABOR LAW COMPLIANCE PROJECT is a U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) effort that was announced as a Notice of Intent (NOI) on May 13, 2013. The key point is that the NOI itself is not a funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as an advance public notice that, if funding is available, USDOL expects to release a formal Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCA) at a later date, anticipated around June 14, 2013. Anyone interested in applying is expected to watch for the SCA on Grants.gov, because USDOL stated it would not distribute email or paper copies.
If ultimately funded through the later SCA, the project would support one or more cooperative agreements for technical assistance activities in the Democratic Republic of Georgia. The overall purpose is twofold: first, to strengthen government enforcement of labor laws (in other words, improve the ability of relevant public institutions to monitor, investigate, and address labor law violations); and second, to improve the effectiveness of worker organizations so they can engage in social dialogue and better represent workers interests and rights. The emphasis on both enforcement capacity and worker organization capacity suggests the project is meant to address labor compliance from multiple angles, combining institutional strengthening with support for legitimate worker representation and engagement mechanisms.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary program and would use a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed under Employment, Labor and Training, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated in the notice. The funding record shows award floor and ceiling as 0 in the NOI, which is consistent with the fact that this document is not the actual solicitation and does not provide final funding levels.
Eligibility is described broadly. Any commercial, international, educational, or nonprofit organization, including faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, and public international organizations, may apply as long as the organization can successfully build the capacity of local and national governments and labor organizations to improve labor law compliance in Georgia. The notice also clarifies that an applicant does not need prior experience with USDOL cooperative agreements, grants, or contracts to be eligible, which is meant to encourage new or nontraditional applicants with relevant expertise to compete.
For timing and administrative details, the NOI was posted May 13, 2013, with an original closing date of May 24, 2013, later reflected as June 21, 2013, and an archive date of June 23, 2013. Those dates apply to the NOI record itself rather than a full application window, since applications would only be submitted in response to the later SCA. The agency listed is OASAM, and the additional information link points to the ILAB grants page where general guidance and examples of prior cooperative agreement applications are provided. For access issues, the notice provides a point of contact: Lloyd Sabino, Grant Specialist, at 202-693-4570 or ops.grantoffice@dol.gov.
