Eligibility Requirements
Background
The Secretary is proposing that public
and private agencies and organizations
would be eligible for a grant under this
program. The Secretary believes that
this will provide the broadest possible
pool of applicants to achieve the
purpose of the priority.
Proposed Eligibility Requirements
The following entities would be
eligible for funding under this program:
Public and private agencies and
organizations, including for-profit and
non-profit agencies and organizations.
Executive Order 12866
This notice of proposed priority and
eligibility requirements has been
reviewed in accordance with Executive
Order 12866. Under the terms of the
order, we have assessed the potential
costs and benefits of this regulatory
action.
The potential costs associated with
this regulatory action are those resulting
from statutory requirements and those
we have determined as necessary for
administering this program effectively
and efficiently.
In assessing the potential costs and
benefits—both quantitative and
qualitative—of this regulatory action,
we have determined that the benefits of
the proposed regulatory action justify
the costs.
We have also determined that this
regulatory action does not unduly
interfere with State, local, and tribal
governments in the exercise of their
governmental functions.
Intergovernmental Review
This program is subject to Executive
Order 12372 and the regulations in 34
CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the
Executive Order is to foster an
intergovernmental partnership and a
strengthened federalism. The Executive
Order relies on processes developed by
State and local governments for
coordination and review of proposed
Federal financial assistance.
This document provides early
notification of our specific plans and
actions for this program.
