Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 8, 2009 / Notices 15945 

for Implementation of Fort Carson Grow 

the Army Stationing Decisions and has 

made the decision to proceed with all 

facets of the Proposed Action, with the 

exception that the Army has decided 

not to station a Combat Aviation Brigade 

(CAB) at Fort Carson at this time. 

Implementation of the Proposed Action 

involves the stationing of approximately 

3,900 additional Soldiers at Fort Carson, 

the construction of new Infantry Brigade 

Combat Team (IBCT) facilities at the 

Operational Readiness Training Center 

site, demolition of old facilities and 

construction of new facilities in Fort 

Carson’s cantonment area, and 

additional training at Fort Carson and 

the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site 

(PCMS). This alternative is summarized 

in the Army’s ROD and described fully 

in Chapter 2 of the FEIS. 

ADDRESSES: For specific questions, 

please contact: Fort Carson National 

Environmental Policy Act Coordinator, 

1638 Elwell Street, Bldg 6236, Fort 

Carson, CO 80913–4000 or e-mail 

CARSDECAMNEPAconus.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Dee McNutt, Fort Carson Public Affairs 

Office at (719) 526–1269, during normal 

business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EElS 

assessed the potential environmental 

consequences of three alternatives for 

implementing GTA at Fort Carson and 

PCMS. All alternatives included 

constructing new facilities at Fort 

Carson to support an IBCT and other 

combat support units, the potential 

stationing of a CAB, upgrading ranges at 

Fort Carson, and increased use of live 

fire training ranges and maneuver areas 

at Fort Carson and PCMS. The Proposed 

Action and alternatives do not include 

the expansion of PCMS or any 

construction at PCMS. The ROD 

incorporates analyses contained in the 

FEIS, including comments provided 

during formal comment and review 

periods. The ROD evaluates the ability 

of each alternative to meet the Purpose 

and Need for the Proposed Action and 

outlines mitigation commitments. The 

Proposed Action was selected as it is 

best able to meet the Army’s needs 

while sustaining the environment. A 

fuller rationale for the decision can be 

found in the ROD which is available for 

public review at http:// 

www.aec.army.mil. 

Dated: March 27, 2009.

assistance if necessary (see section 

419N(c)(8)(C) of the HEA). 

C. Quality of management plan. 

(Maximum 20 Points) 

In determining the quality of the 

management plan for the proposed 

project, the Secretary considers the 

following: 

1. The extent to which the application 

includes a management plan that 

describes the resources, including 

technical expertise and financial 

support, the institution will draw upon 

to support the child care program and 

the participation of low-income 

students in the program, such as 

accessing social services funding, using 

student activity fees to help pay the 

costs of child care, using resources 

obtained by meeting the needs of 

parents who are not low-income 

students, and accessing foundation, 

corporate or other institutional support, 

and demonstrates that the use of the 

resources will not result in increases in 

student tuition (see section 419N(c)(5) 

of the HEA). 

2. The qualifications, including 

relevant training, experience, and time 

commitment of key project personnel 

(see 34 CFR 75.210(e)(3)(ii)). 

3. The adequacy of the management 

plan to achieve the objectives of the 

proposed project on time and within 

budget, including clearly defined 

responsibilities, timelines, and 

milestones for accomplishing project 

tasks. (see 34 CFR 75.210(g)(2)(i)). 

4. The extent to which the 

management plan includes specific 

plans for the institution to comply with 

the reporting requirements in section 

419N(e)(1) of the HEA. 

D. Quality of Project Evaluation. 

(Maximum 15 Points) 

In determining the quality of the 

project evaluation, the Secretary 

considers the following: 

1. The extent to which the methods of 

evaluation are thorough, feasible, and 

appropriate to the goals, objectives, and 

outcomes of the proposed project (see 

34 CFR 75.210(h)(2)(i)). 

2. The extent to which the methods of 

evaluation include the use of objective 

performance measures that are clearly 

related to the intended outcomes of the 

project and will produce quantitative 

and qualitative data to the extent 

possible (see 34 CFR 75.210(h)(2)(iv)). 

3. The extent to which the methods of 

evaluation will provide performance 

feedback and permit periodic 

assessment of progress toward achieving 

intended outcomes (see 34 CFR 

75.210(h)(2)(vi)). 

E. Adequacy of resources. (Maximum 

5 points)

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 8, 2009 / Notices 15949 

In determining the adequacy of 

resources for the proposed project, the 

Secretary considers the following: 

1. The extent to which the budget is 

adequate to support the proposed 

project (see 34 CFR 75.210(f)(2)(iii)). 

2. The extent to which the costs are 

reasonable in relation to the number of 

persons to be served and to the 

anticipated results and benefits (see 34 

CFR 75.210(f)(2)(v)). 

2. Review and Selection Process: A 

panel of non-Federal readers will review 

each eligible application in accordance 

with the competitive preference priority 

and the selection criteria, pursuant to 34 

CFR 75.217. Each reader will 

individually score each application by 

totaling the points (from the competitive 

preference priority and selection 

criteria) the reader assigned the 

application. An applicant’s overall score 

will be determined by adding all reader 

scores for the applicant’s application 

and then dividing the total points by the 

number of readers who reviewed the 

application. If there are insufficient 

funds for all applications with the same 

overall scores, the Secretary will choose 

among the tied applications so as to 

serve geographical areas that have been 

underserved by the CCAMPIS Program. 

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 CCAMPIS Program will be 

measured by the postsecondary 

persistence and degree of completion 

rates of CCAMPIS Program participants 

who remain at the grantee institution. 

All CCAMPIS Program grantees will be 

required to submit an annual 

performance report documenting the 

persistence and degree attainment of 

their participants. Because students may 

take different lengths of time to 

complete their degrees, multiple years 

of performance report data are needed to 

determine the degree completion rates 

of CCAMPIS Program participants.
