(3) The Project Director and other key
personnel clearly have the professional
qualifications and experience necessary
to implement their assigned project
tasks; and
(4) The time commitments of the
Project Director, key personnel, and
partners are appropriate to the tasks
assigned.
(e) Adequacy of resources. In
determining the adequacy of resources
for the proposed project, we consider
the following factors:
(1) The adequacy of support to be
provided (i.e., facilities, equipment,
supplies, or other resources) by
participating agencies and institutions
at the State and local levels.
(2) Whether the budget is appropriate
and the costs are reasonable in relation
to the objectives and design of the
proposed project.
(f) Evaluation: In determining the
quality of the proposed project
evaluation, we review each application
to determine the extent to which—
(1) The proposed project evaluation is
feasible and appropriate for evaluating
the constancy of the implementation of
the selected POS by the participating
LEAs in years 2 through 4 of the project;
(2) The proposed evaluation is
feasible and appropriate for evaluating
the effectiveness of each of the 10
Framework components in each LEA;
(3) The proposed evaluation will be
conducted by individuals or entities
that possess the necessary background
and expertise in project evaluation; and
(4) The applicant expresses its
commitment to participate in the
Department’s Evaluation Design
Meeting and has included suggestions
regarding the use of student outcome
data that it would be able to access
through the State’s longitudinal data
system, including any documented
valid and reliable alternative methods
for collecting individual student
employment outcome data, to assess the
progress of students enrolled in the
POS.
This notice does not preclude us from
proposing additional priorities,
requirements, definitions, or selection
criteria, subject to meeting applicable
rulemaking requirements.
Note: This notice does not solicit
applications. In any year in which we choose
to use one or more of these priorities,
requirements, and selection criteria, we
invite applications through a notice in the
Federal Register.
Executive Order 12866: This notice
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 final
regulatory action.

Jkt 220001
The potential costs associated with
this final 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 final regulatory
action, we have determined that the
benefits of the final priority,
requirements, and selection criteria
justify the costs. This action would
provide additional resources to States to
help them implement an existing
statutory requirement under the Act, the
implementation of programs of study at
the State and local levels.
We have determined, also, that this
final 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.
