V. Application Review Information
1. Review and Selection Process: The
Department will screen applications
that are submitted in accordance with
the requirements in this notice and will
determine which applications are
eligible to be read based on whether
they have met the eligibility and
application requirements.
The Secretary of Education (Secretary)
will also consider compliance with
assurances, including those applicable
to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination in programs or activities
receiving Federal financial assistance
(such as, for ED programs, 34 CFR 100.4,
104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
2. Review of Requests for Flexibility,
Including Blending of Funds and Other
Waivers: Representatives of the
Agencies that administer programs
under which flexibility in Federal
requirements is sought will evaluate
whether the flexibility, including
blending of funds and other waivers,
requested by applicants meets the
statutory requirements for P3 and is
otherwise appropriate. For example, if
an applicant is seeking flexibility under
programs administered by HHS and
DOL, its requests for flexibility will be
reviewed by HHS and DOL officials.
Applicants may be asked to participate
in telephone calls at this point in the
process in order to clarify requests for
flexibility and other aspects of their
proposals.

3. Selecting Finalists: Agency officials
may recommend projects for selection
by the Secretary. In consultation with
the other Agencies, the Secretary will
select up to 10 finalists after considering
the recommendations of the Agencies
that administer the programs for which
the applicants are seeking flexibility,
and other information, including an
applicant’s performance and use of
funds and compliance history under a
previous award under any agency
program. In selecting pilots, the
Secretary will first give priority to
applicants that will serve communities
that have experienced civil unrest, to
address the statutory requirement that
designated pilots include communities
that have experienced civil unrest, and
will then select those applications that
will serve the highest numbers of
disconnected youth.
For each finalist, ED and any other
Agencies implicated in the pilot will
negotiate the performance agreement. If
a performance agreement cannot be
finalized for an applicant, an alternative
applicant may be selected as a finalist
instead. The recommended projects will
be considered finalists until
performance agreements are signed by
all parties, and pilot designation will be
awarded only after finalization and
approval of each finalist’s performance
agreement.
VI. Designation Administration
Information
1. Designation Notices: If your
application is successful, we notify your
U.S. Representative(s) and U.S. Senators
and send you a letter notification of
your selection as a pilot. We may notify
you informally, also.
If your application is not evaluated or
not selected as a pilot, we will notify
you.
2. Performance Measures: The
performance agreement for each pilot
will include outcome measures, interim
indicators, and targets.
VII. Other Information
Accessible Format: On request to the
program contact person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
individuals with disabilities can obtain
this document in an accessible format.
The Department will provide the
requestor with an accessible format that
