necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the program to
be assisted;

activities with the State agency on aging and with the activities
carried out under title III in the same geographical area;

and containing such information as the Assistant secretary may
reasonably require, and comply with such requirements as the Assistant
Secretary may impose to ensure the correctness of such reports;

\(5\) provide for periodic evaluation of activities and projects carried
out under the application;

\(6\) establish objectives, consistent with the purpose of this title,
toward which activities described in the application will be directed,
identify obstacles to the attainment of such objectives, and indicate
the manner in which the organization proposes to overcome such
obstacles;

\(7\) provide for establishing and maintaining information and
assistance services to assure that older Native Hawaiians to be served
by the assistance made available under this part will have reasonably
convenient access to such services;

\(8\) provide a preference for Native Hawaiians 60 years of age and
older for full or part-time staff positions wherever feasible;

\(9\) provide that any legal or ombudsman services made available to
older Native Hawaiians represented by the no-profit private organization
will be substantially in compliance with the provisions of title III
relating to the furnishing and similar services; and

\(10\) provide satisfactory assurance that the fiscal control and fund
accounting procedures will be adopted as may be necessary to assure
proper disbursement of, and accounting for, Federal funds paid under
this part to the nonprofit private organization, including any fund paid
by the organization to a recipient of a grant or contract.
