Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 26, 1995 / Notices 20511

C. Staff Capability (20 points)

Proposals will be evaluated in terms

of the degree to which:

1. The duties outlined for cooperative

agreement positions appear appropriate

to the work that will be conducted

under the award. (10 points)

2. The qualifications of the

cooperative agreement-funded positions

appear to match the requirements of

these positions. (10 points)

D. Previous Experience (20 points)

The proposals will be evaluated on

the degree to which the organization

demonstrates that it has successfully

carried out programs or work similar to

the overall pilot project strategies

described in this notice.

E. Jurisdictional Involvement (100

points)

During evaluation the panel will

closely examine the proposals that

guarantee maximum exposure and

implementation of the pilot project

strategies in the INS jurisdiction(s).

Thus, a program designed to reach a

very large proportion of potential

naturalization applicants in the INS

district of Los Angeles would take

precedence over a program in only the

INS district of San Diego, or only the

jurisdiction of the Fresno suboffice. In

keeping with the purpose of the pilot

project to reach naturalization

applicants in urban and rural areas in

southern California, points will be

awarded to those organizations that best

describe overall programmatic strategies

and administrative capabilities

applicable to the following jurisdictions:

1. Los Angeles INS District which has

the largest number of potential

applicants from diverse groups. (50

points)

2. Fresno INS Suboffice which has a

significantly large rural area and a large

population of permanent residents who

gained this status through the Special

Agricultural Worker (SAW) program

during legalization. (30 points)

3. San Diego INS district with

significant urban and rural

constituencies. (20 points)

Eligible Organizations

This competition is open to nonprofit

voluntary organizations (501(c)(3)

status) that customarily provide

assistance with respect to immigration

benefits, including naturalization.

Period and Award Amount

An award of up to $500,000 will be

made to one organization.

Publication of this announcement

does not require that an organization

should be funded, or that the entire

amount of funds available, or any part

thereof, be obligated for funding. The

period of performance will be from the

date of the award until September 30,

1996, unless extended by mutual

agreement between the awardee and the

INS.
