Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 29, 2010 / Notices 37419 

Secretary will award prior experience 

points to an applicant by evaluating the 

applicant’s performance under its 

expiring Training program grant. Prior 

experience points, if any, will be added 

to the application’s averaged peer 

review score to determine the total score 

for each application. Under section 

402A(c)(3) of the HEA, the Secretary is 

not required to make awards under the 

Training Program for Federal TRIO 

Programs in the order of the scores 

received by the application in the peer 

review process and adjusted for prior 

experience. 

In accordance with section 437(d)(1) 

of the General Education Provisions Act 

(GEPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232(d)(1), for FY 

2010, the Secretary will select an 

application for funding within each 

specific absolute priority for which a 

grant is requested in the order of the 

peer review score received by the 

application in the peer review process. 

Within each specific priority, if there 

are insufficient funds to fund all 

applications at the next peer review 

score, the Secretary adds the prior 

experience points awarded under 34 

CFR 642.32 to the peer review score to 

determine an adjusted total score for 

those applications. The Secretary makes 

awards at the next peer review score to 

the applicants that have the highest total 

adjusted score. 

In the event a tie score still exists, the 

Secretary will select for funding the 

applicant that has the greatest capacity 

to provide training to eligible 

participants in all regions of the Nation 

in order to assure accessibility to the 

greatest number of prospective training 

participants, consistent with 34 CFR 

642.33. 

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: 

Under the Administrative Procedure Act 

(5 U.S.C. 553) the Department generally 

offers interested parties the opportunity 

to comment on proposed requirements. 

Section 437(d)(1) of GEPA, however, 

allows the Secretary to exempt from 

rulemaking requirements, regulations 

governing the first grant competition 

under a new or substantially revised 

program authority. This is the first grant 

competition for this program under 

sections 402A and 402G of the HEA and 

therefore qualifies for this exemption. In 

order to ensure timely grant awards, the 

Secretary has decided to forego public 

comment on the requirements in the 

Review and Selection Process section of 

this notice, under section 437(d)(1) of 

GEPA. These requirements will apply to 

the FY 2010 grant competition only. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Award Notices: If your application 

is successful, we notify your U.S. 

Representative and U.S. Senators and 

send you a Grant Award Notification 

(GAN). We may notify you informally, 

also. 

If your application is not evaluated or 

not selected for funding, we notify you. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements: We identify 

administrative and national policy 

requirements in the application package 

and reference these and other 

requirements in the Applicable 

Regulations section of this notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining 

the terms and conditions of an award in 

the Applicable Regulations section of 

this notice and include these and other 

specific conditions in the GAN. The 

GAN also incorporates your approved 

application as part of your binding 

commitments under the grant. 

3. Reporting: At the end of your 

project period, you must submit a final 

performance report, including financial 

information, as directed by the 

Secretary. If you receive a multi-year 

award, you must submit an annual 

performance report that provides the 

most current performance and financial 

expenditure information as directed by 

the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.118. The 

Secretary may also require more 

frequent performance reports under 34 

CFR 75.720(c). For specific 

requirements on reporting, please go to 

http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/ 

appforms/appforms.html. 

4. Performance Measures: The success 

of the Training Program is measured by 

its cost-effectiveness based on the 

number of TRIO project personnel 

receiving training each year; the 

percentage of Training Program 

participants that, each year, evaluate the 

training as benefiting them in increasing 

their qualifications and skills in meeting 

the needs of disadvantaged students; 

and the percentage of Training Program 

participants that, each year, evaluate the 

trainings as benefiting them in 

increasing their knowledge and 

understanding of the Federal TRIO 

Programs. All grantees will be required 

to submit an annual performance report 

documenting their success in training 

personnel working on TRIO-funded 

projects, including the average cost per 

trainee and the trainees’ evaluations of 

the effectiveness of the training 

provided. The success of the Training 

Program also is assessed on the 

quantitative and qualitative outcomes of 

the training projects based on project 

evaluation results.
