The JGP announcement is up as well:

Qualification is very different than for Senior GP, except for host nations getting three, and a maximum number of two events per skater (no pairs extra event exception, though for JGP):
For Ladies and Men's, the top five nations from Jr. Worlds are entitled to two slots at each event, the next five nations are entitled to one slot at each event, any national qualifying a skater for the LP gets one slot for all but one event (7), any nation whose skater finished 25-30th, but didn't make the LP gets one slot for all but two events (6), and all other nations get one slot for all but three events (5).
For pairs, each nation gets up to three slots.
For Dance, the top five nations at last year's Jr. Worlds get two slots for each event, and all other nations get one slot.
There's a series of tables at the end of the announcement that list the countries that can send skaters to each event.
I don't know if there's any published USFS criteria for assigning JGP slots. Since the US is hosting a JGP (Lake Placid) this year, USFS has up to the following number of slots:
Ladies, Men, and Dance: 17 at eight events
Pairs: 12 at four events
All events are in Europe, except for Lake Placid.
