H. Application Review

Proposal Evaluation

To ensure fairness to all applicants,

the Corporation reserves the right to

take action, up to and including

disqualification, in the event that a

proposal fails to comply with any

requirements specified in this Notice.

1. Program Design (60% as described

below):

The project application allows the

Corporation to assess the capacity of the

applicant organization to implement the

project and accomplish the purpose of

the Welfare to Work initiative. The

overall quality of the application will be

evaluated as follows:

a. Responsiveness to Getting Things

Done Criteria (25%).

b. Responsiveness to Strengthening

Communities Criteria (30%).

c. Responsiveness to Member

Development Criteria (5%).

2. Organizational Capacity (25%):

The applicant organization’s capacity

to direct, manage, support, provide

technical assistance, assess the project,

and promote long-term implementation

of the project’s efforts, must be reflected

in the Project Application.

3. Budget (15%):

Applicants must prepare the budget

according to information contained in

Item D, Scope of Grant, above, and

instructions about costs and allowance

levels contained in the application kit.

A detailed Budget Narrative must

identify and justify each line item and

cost. The Corporation will assess the

cost-effectiveness of the proposed

project and the project’s ability to

leverage significant resources from

private and/or public sources.

I. Geographic Diversity

After evaluating the overall quality of

the proposal and its responsiveness to

the criteria noted above, the Corporation

will take into consideration whether

funded projects are: (1) geographically

diverse, including projects in both

urban and rural areas; and (2) in areas

of high concentration of low-income

residents, including those in

empowerment zones, enterprise

communities and homeownership

zones.

An informal, technical assistance

meeting and telephone conference call

is being planned for June 24, 1998, at

2:00 p.m. Eastern time for potential

assistance,’’ however, does not include

advising the applicant how to make

substantive improvements in its

application that will affect ratings.

All applicants must pre-register by

faxing the names, organization and

phone number of up to two members

planning to participate, and an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

United States laws impose duties on

foreign supplies imported into the

customs territory of the United States.

Certain exemptions from these duties

are available to Government agencies.

These exemptions are used whenever

the anticipated savings outweigh the

administrative costs associated with

processing required documentation.

When a Government contractor

purchases foreign supplies, it must

notify the contracting officer to

determine whether the supplies should

be duty-free. In addition, all shipping

documents and containers must specify

certain information to assure the dutyfree entry of the supplies.

The contracting officer analyzes the

information submitted by the contractor

to determine whether or not supplies

should enter the country duty-free. The

information, the contracting officer’s

determination, and the U.S. Customs

forms are placed in the contract file.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

Public reporting burden for this

collection of information is estimated to

average 30 minutes per response,

including the time for reviewing
