of public telecommunications entities; 

(d) a non-profit foundation, corporation,

primarily for educational or cultural 

purposes; or (e) a state, local, or Indian 

tribal government (or agency thereof), or

Evaluation and Selection Process 

See 15 CFR § 2301.16 for a description 

of the Technical Evaluation and 15 CFR 

§ 2301.18 for the Selection Process. 

Evaluation Criteria 

See 15 CFR § 2301.17 for a full 

description of the Evaluation Criteria. 

The six evaluation criteria are: 1) 

Applicant Qualifications; 2) Financial 

Qualifications; 3) Project Objectives; 4) 

Urgency; 5) Technical Qualifications 

(construction applicants only) or 

Planning Qualifications (planning 

applicants only); and 6) Special 

Consideration. 

Funding Priorities and Selection 

Factors 

See 15 CFR § 2301.4 and the 

supplemental policies above for a 

description of the PTFP Priorities and 

15 CFR § 2301.18 for the Selection 

Factors. 

Cost Sharing Requirements 

PTFP requires cost sharing. By statute, 

PTFP cannot fund a construction project 

for more than 75 percent of the eligible 

project costs. NTIA has established a 

policy of funding most new public 

broadcasting station activation projects 

at a 75 percent Federal share, and most 

other television, radio and nonbroadcast 

projects at a 50 percent Federal share. 

NTIA can fund planning applications 

up to 100 percent of the eligible project 

costs, but has established a policy of 

funding planning applications at a 75 

percent Federal share. Any applicant 

can request Federal funding greater than 

PTFP’s policy, up to the statutory 

maximum, and provide justification for 

the request. 

Intergovernmental Review 

PTFP applications are subject to 

Executive Order 12372, 

‘‘Intergovernmental Review of Federal 

Programs,’’ if the state in which the 

applicant organization is located 

participates in the process. Usually, 

submission to the State Single Point of 

Contact (SPOC) needs to be only the SF 

424 and PTFP–2 pages of the 

application, but applicants should 

contact their own SPOC offices to find 

out about and comply with its 

requirements. The PTFP Internet site 

has a link to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) home page that has 

the names and addresses of the SPOC 

offices. Applicants may directly access 

the OMB Internet site at 

www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/ 

spoc.html. 

Universal Identifier 

All applicants (nonprofit, state, local 

government, universities, and tribal 

organizations) will be required to 

provide a Dun and Bradstreet Data 

Universal Numbering System (DUNS) 

number during the application process. 

See the October 30, 2002 (67 FR 66177), 

and April 8, 2003 (68 FR 17000), 

Federal Register notices for additional 

information. Organizations can receive a 

DUNS number at no cost by calling the 

dedicated toll-free DUNS Number 

request line 1–866–705–5711 or via the 

Internet at www.fedgov.dnb.com/ 

webform. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification of Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

contained in the Federal Register notice 

of February 11, 2008 (73 FR 7696) is 

applicable to this solicitation. 

Limitation of Liability 

In no event will the Department of 

Commerce be responsible for proposal 

preparation costs if this program fails to 

receive funding or is cancelled because 

of other agency priorities. Publication of 

this announcement does not obligate the 

agency to award any specific project or 

to obligate any available funds. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of the law, no person is required to 

respond to, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection of information subject 

to the requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA), unless that 

collection displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. The PTFP 

application form has been cleared under 

OMB Control No. 0660–0003. 

Executive Order 13132 

It has been determined that this notice 

does not contain policies with 

Federalism implications as that term is 

defined in Executive Order 13132. 

Administrative Procedure Act/ 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Prior notice and opportunity for 

public comment are not required by the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other law for this rule 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 inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis has not been 

prepared.
