(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. 

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.
