Part B of Title VII of the Elementary

as amended (the Act) authorizes two

grant programs, the Foreign Language

Assistance Grants program and the

Elementary School Incentive Grants

program. Appropriations for these two

programs are authorized by section 7206

of the Act. Section 7203(c)(3) of the Act

provides that at least 75 percent of the

funds appropriated under section 7206

shall be used for the expansion of

foreign language learning in elementary

grades. The Secretary, therefore, in

selecting applicants under this program

and the Elementary School Incentive

Grants program will ensure that the

requirement in section 7203(c)(3) on the

use of funds appropriated under section

7206 is met. The Secretary does not

fund projects that propose Native

American languages.

Priority

The competitive priority in the notice

of final priority for this program, as

published elsewhere in this issue of the

Federal Register, applies to this

competition. This competitive priority

relates to projects that focus on less

commonly taught languages.

Selection Criteria

In evaluating applications for grants

under this program, the Secretary uses

the selection criteria in 34 CFR 75.210.

The regulations in 34 CFR 75.210

provide that the Secretary may award

up to 100 points for the selection

criteria, including a reserved 15 points.

For this competition, the Secretary

distributes the 15 points as follows:

Meeting the purpose of the

authorizing statute (34 CFR 210 (b)(1)).

Seven points are added to this criterion

for a possible total of 37 points.

Plan of operation (34 CFR

75.210(b)(3)). Five points are added to

this criterion for a possible total of 20

points.
