Enforcement of Labor Laws in the Agricultural Export Sector of Costa Rica: NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent. An announcement is not related to this notice. We are not accepting applications at this time. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL's Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive process, one cooperative agreement to an organization to improve enforcement of labor laws with respect to minimum wages, hours of work, and occupational safety and health (OSH) in the agricultural export sector. The implementer is expected to improve enforcement by undertaking activities that will: 1) increase the number of cases filed and effectively litigated based on minimum wage, hours of work, and occupational safety and health violations, and 2) ensure judges employ their knowledge and skills to adjudicate cases in accordance with the newly adopted Procedural Labor Code Reform. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)'s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) before September 30, 2017 (subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/grants for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This notice does not include an FOA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL's intent to publish an FOA at a later date. Interested applicants are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the FOA because, if an FOA is published, grants.gov is the method by which the FOA will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies of any FOA will be provided.
