Applications must be prepared and

submitted in 20 copies in the form of a

statement, the narrative part of which

should not exceed 20 double-spaced

pages. This must be accompanied by a

one-page executive summary, a budget,

and vitae of key professional staff.

Proposers may append other

information they consider essential,

although bulky submissions are

discouraged and run the risk of not

being reviewed fully. The one-page

summary and budget should precede

the narrative in the proposal.

Proposed programs should be

described fully, including benefits for

the fields. All applicants should provide

detailed information about their plans

for peer evaluation and review

procedures and estimates of the types

and amount of anticipated awards.

Applicants who have received a grant

from this program in the previous

competition should provide detailed

information on the peer evaluation and

review procedures followed, and awards

made, including, where applicable,

names/affiliations of recipients, and

amounts and types of awards. If an

applicant received support prior to the

last competition, a summary of those

awards also should be included.

Descriptions of all competitive award

programs should specify both past and

anticipated applicant-to-award ratios.

Proposals from national organizations

involving language instruction programs

should provide for those programs

supported in the past year information

on the criteria for evaluation, including

levels of instruction, degrees of

intensiveness, facilities, methods for

measuring language proficiency

(including pre-and post-testing),

instructors’ qualifications, and budget

information showing estimated costs per

student.

policies and practices must be included

the Department of the Interior and

Related Agencies Appropriations Act

(Pub. L. 101–121), in accordance with

Appendix A of 22 CFR 138, New

Restrictions on Lobbying Activities.

Budget

Since funds provided by U.S. AID

would come separately from its East

Europe (including the Baltic states) and

New Independent States programs,

proposals must indicate how the

requested funds will be distributed by

region, country (to the extent possible),

and activity. Subsequently, grant

recipients must report expenditures by

region, country, and activity.

Applicants should familiarize

themselves with Department of State

grant regulations contained in 22 CFR

145, ‘‘Grants and Cooperative

Agreements with Institutions of Higher

Education, Hospitals, and Other NonProfit Organizations,’’ OMB Circular A–

110, ‘‘Grants and Agreements with

Institutions of Higher Education * * *

Uniform Administrative Requirements,’’

and OMB Circular A–133, ‘‘Audits of

Institutions of Higher Learning and

Other Non-Profit Institutions’’ and

indicate or provide the following

information:

(1) Whether the organization falls

under OMB Circular No. A–21, ‘‘Cost

Principles for Educational Institutions,’’

or OMB Circular No. A–122, ‘‘Cost

Principles for Nonprofit Organizations;’’

(2) A detailed program budget

indicating direct expenses by program

element, by region (the independent

states of the former Soviet Union or

Eastern Europe), indirect costs, and the

total amount requested. NB: Indirect

costs are limited to 10 percent of total

direct program costs. Applicants

requesting funds to supplement a

program having other sources of support

should submit a current budget for the

total program and an estimated future

budget for it showing how specific lines

in the budget would be affected by the

allocation of requested grant funds.

Other funding sources and amounts,

when known, should be identified.

(3) The applicant’s cost-sharing

proposal, if applicable, containing

appropriate details and cross references

to the requested budget;

(4) The organization’s most recent

audit report (the most recent U.S.

Government audit report if available)

and the name, address, and point of

contact of the audit agency. N.B.: The

threshold for grants that trigger an audit

requirement has been raised from

$25,000 to $300,000.

(5) An indication of the proposer’s

priorities if funding is being requested

for more than one program or activity.

All payments will be made to grant

recipients through the Department of

State.

Technical Review

The Advisory Committee for Studies

of Eastern Europe and the Independent

States of the Former Soviet Union will

evaluate applications on the basis of the

following criteria:

(1) Responsiveness to the substantive

provisions set forth above in Part II,

Program Information (45 points);

(2) The professional qualifications of

the applicant’s key personnel and their

effectiveness (20 points).

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Office of the Secretary

[Public Notice 2656]

Extension of the Restriction on the Use

of United States Passports for Travel

To, In, or Through Libya

On December 11, 1981, pursuant to

the authority of 22 U.S.C. 211a and

Executive Order 11295 (31 FR 10603),

and in accordance with 22 CFR

51.73(a)(3), all United States passports

were declared invalid for travel to, in,

or through Libya unless specifically

validated for such travel. This

restriction has been renewed yearly

because of the unsettled relations

between the United States and the

Government of Libya and the possibility

of hostile acts against Americans in

Libya.

The Government of Libya still

maintain a decidedly anti-American

stance and continues to emphasize its

willingness to direct hostile acts against

the United States and its nationals. The

American Embassy in Tripoli remains

closed, thus preventing the United

States from providing routine

diplomatic protection or consular

assistance to Americans who may travel

to Libya.

In light of these events and

circumstances, I have determined that

Libya continues to be an era ‘‘* * *

where there is imminent danger to the

public health or physical safety of

United States travelers’’ within the

meaning of 22 U.S.C. 221a and 22 CFR

51–73(a)(3).

Accordingly, all United States

passports shall remain invalid for travel

to, in, or through Libya unless

specifically validated for such travel

under the authority of the Secretary of

State.

The Public Notice shall be effective

upon publication in the Federal

Register and shall expire at midnight

November 24, 1998, unless extended or

sooner revoked by Public Notice.

Date: November 20, 1997.

Acting Secretary.
