• Leads to the creation/retention of 

good jobs for the community. This is 

defined as greater than or equal to the 

average wage in the county. The Bureau 

of Labor Statistic’s Web site at http:// 

www.bls.gov/data/#wages has data 

available for this analysis. 

• Leverages public-private 

partnerships, for example, as evident by 

private sector involvement and/or 

private sector funding in the project. 

• Evidences best-practices in project 

management, for example, by 

demonstrating a feasible, cost-effective 

budget and a specific, deadline driven 

project timeline. 

4. Investments that Support 

Regionalism, Innovation, and 

Entrepreneurship (20%). Priority will be 

given to an application that strengthens 

regional cluster strategies and supports 

innovation and entrepreneurship, as 

indicated by the extent to which the 

investment: 

• Builds upon or extends existing 

planning documents, such as a CEDS, or 

other Federal, State, regional, or local 

development plans. 

• Links clearly to a leading or 

emerging regional cluster. This may be 

measured by the extent the investment 

supports an industry that has a location 

quotient greater than one. Applicants 

may find more information on location 

quotients at the Bureau of Labor 

Statistic’s site at http://data.bls.gov/ 

LOCATION_QUOTIENT/servlet/ 

lqc.ControllerServlet. This also may be 

demonstrated by: 

Æ A geographic concentration of an 

industry compared to the State or 

nation; 

Æ Increasing regional employment in 

that industry; or 

Æ Increasing numbers of firms in the 

relevant cluster. 

• Fosters commercialization in 

technology. This could be shown by 

increasing technology transfer at an 

institution of higher education or 

spinning off new technology, etc. 

5. Investments that Support Global 

Trade/Competitiveness (15%). Priority 

will be given to an application that 

supports global trade and 

competitiveness, as indicated by the 

extent to which the investment: 

• Supports existing ‘‘high growth/ 

high potential companies’’ or those that 

have the ability to create ‘‘high growth/ 

high potential companies,’’ which are 

defined as companies with fewer than 

500 employees whose sales doubled in 

four years or less; or 

• Supports businesses or clusters 

with significant export potential. 

6. Investments that grow the ‘‘Green 

Economy’’ (5%). Priority will be given to 

an application whose objectives support 

the ‘‘green economy.’’ Such projects 

would: 

• Promote renewable energy, energy 

efficiency, and/or reuse, recycling, or 

restoration that result in a green endproduct (for example, a renewable 

energy commercialization center); 

• Green an existing process or 

function (for example, implementing 

sustainable manufacturing practices); or 

• Result in a green building (for 

example, a structure certified under the 

U.S. Green Building Council’s 

Leadership in Energy and 

Environmental Design (LEED) system). 

Applications will be evaluated to the 

extent they produce identified green 

project benefits; for example renewable 

energy capacity per year, carbon 

emission offsets, overall energy savings, 

or third-party verified green building 

certifications. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements: 

The administrative and national policy 

requirements for all Department of 

Commerce awards, contained in the 

Department of Commerce Pre-Award 

Notification Requirements for Grants 

and Cooperative Agreements, published 

in the Federal Register on February 11, 

2008 (73 FR 7696), are applicable to this 

competitive solicitation.

and an opportunity for public comments 

are not required by the Administrative 

Procedure Act or any other law for rules 

concerning grants, benefits, and 

contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because 

notice and opportunity for comment are 

not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or 

any other law, the analytical 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are

analysis has not been prepared.
