(i) Criteria. This paragraph sets forth the general criteria which IMLS uses in evaluating and reviewing applications for conservation projects. (1) The following programmatic criteria apply to the evaluation and review of conservation grants: (i) What is the importance of the object or objects to be conserved? What is the significance of the object or objects to the museum’s collection and/ or audience? (ii) What is the need for the project, including the relationship of the project to the conservation needs and priorities of the applicant museum as reflected in a survey of conservation needs or similar needs assessment? (iii) What are the applicant’s plans to use and maintain the anticipated results or benefits of the project after the expiration of Federal support? (iv) Does the applicant plan to devote adequate financial and other resources to the project without inhibiting its ongoing activities? (2) The following technical criteria apply to the evaluation and review of applications for conservation grants: (i) What is the nature of the proposed project with respect to project design and management plan? (ii) To what extent does the application exhibit knowledge of the technical area to which the conservation project relates and employ the most promising or appropriate methods or techniques of conservation? To what extent is the conservation project likely to use, develop or demonstrate improved, more efficient, or more economic methods of conservation? (iii) Does the project have an adequate budget to achieve its purpose? Is the budget reasonable and adequate in relation to the objectives of the project? (iv) What are the qualifications of the personnel the applicant plans to use on the project and the proposed time that each such person is obligated to commit to the project? (j) Grant condition. An applicant which has received a grant in a prior fiscal year under the IMLS conservation grant program may not receive a grant in a subsequent fiscal year under this section until required reports have been submitted regarding the performance of the previous grant. (k) Allowable and unallowable costs. (1) Section 1180.56 of this chapter, which applies to conservation grants, sets forth the rules applicable to determining the allowability of costs under IMLS grants and refers applicants and grantees to the OMB circulars VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:28 Dec 13, 2005 Jkt 208001 containing applicable cost principles which govern Federal grants generally. (2) In general such costs as compensation for personal services, costs of materials and supplies, rental costs, and other administrative costs specifically related to a conservation project are allowable under a conservation grant in accordance with applicable cost principles. (3) Costs of alterations, repairs and restoration to an existing facility are allowable when they are related to a conservation project under a conservation grant in accordance with applicable cost principles. (4) Costs of equipment are generally allowable if related to a conservation project but do require specific approval as indicated in the grant award document. (5) A grantee may award a stipend to an individual for training in connection with a conservation project. (6) Costs of new construction are unallowable. For example, a museum may not a use a conservation grant to construct a new building or an addition to an existing building to improve the environment in which its collections are housed.

In addition, therefore, it does not contain any new or modified ‘‘information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Summary of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking I. Introduction 1. In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Commission seeks comment on how to implement section 621(a)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Communications Act or the Act). Section 621(a)(1) states in relevant part that ‘‘a franchising authority * * * may not unreasonably refuse to award an additional competitive franchise.’’ While the Commission has found that, ‘‘[t]oday, almost all consumers have the choice between over-the-air broadcast television, a cable service, and at least two DBS providers,’’ greater competition in the market for the delivery of multichannel video programming is one of the primary goals of federal communications policy. Increased competition can be expected to lead to lower prices and more choices for consumers and, as marketplace competition disciplines competitors’ behavior, all competing cable service providers could require less federal regulation. Moreover, for all competitors in the marketplace, the abilities to offer video to consumers and to deploy broadband networks rapidly are linked intrinsically. Specifically, the construction of modern telecommunications facilities requires substantial capital investment, and such networks, once completed, are capable of providing not only voice and data, but video as well. As a consequence, the ability to offer video offers the promise of an additional revenue stream from which deployment costs can be recovered. However, potential competitors seeking to enter the MVPD marketplace have alleged that in many areas the current operation of the local franchising process serves as a barrier to entry. Accordingly, this NPRM is designed to solicit comment on implementation of section 621(a)(1)’s directive that LFAs not unreasonably refuse to award competitive franchises, and whether the franchising process E:\FR\FM\14DEP1.SGM 14DEP1
