AGENCY: Economic Development 

Administration (EDA), Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

applications. 

SUMMARY: EDA is soliciting competitive 

applications from accredited 

institutions of higher education and 

from consortia of accredited institutions 

of higher education for FY 2008 

University Center Economic 

Development Program funding in the 

geographic areas served by its Chicago 

and Philadelphia regional offices. EDA’s 

mission is to lead the federal economic 

development agenda by promoting 

innovation and competitiveness, 

preparing American regions for growth 

and success in the worldwide economy. 

Institutions of higher education have 

many assets and in partnership with 

EDA, they are able to establish and 

operate University Centers. These EDAsponsored University Centers conduct 

applied research, provide technical 

assistance to public and private sector 

organizations, and conduct other 

activities with the goal of enhancing 

regional economic development by 

promoting a favorable business 

environment to attract private capital 

investment and higher-skill, higherwage jobs. 

DATES: The closing date and time for 

receipt of applications for funding 

under the FY 2008 University Center 

Economic Development Program 

competition is April 15, 2008 at 4 p.m. 

local time. The Chicago regional office 

will hold a pre-application 

teleconference on March 5, 2008 at 10

Electronic Access: The complete FFO 

announcement for the FY 2008 

University Center Economic 

Development Program competition is 

available at www.grants.gov and at 

http://www.eda.gov/InvestmentsGrants/ 

FFON.xml. 

Funding Availability: Funding 

appropriated under the FY 2008 

Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. 

L. No. 110–161, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007)) 

is available for the economic 

development assistance programs 

authorized by PWEDA and for the Trade 

Adjustment Assistance for Firms 

Program authorized under the Trade Act 

of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2341–

2391). Funds in the amount of 

$249,100,000 have been appropriated 

for FY 2008 and shall remain available 

until expended. 

In all events, the funding periods and 

funding amounts referenced in this 

notice are subject to the availability of 

FY 2008 funds at the time of award, as 

well as to Department of Commerce’s 

and EDA’s priorities at the time of 

award. The Department of Commerce 

and EDA will not be held responsible 

for application preparation costs if the 

University Center Economic 

Development Program fails to receive 

funding or is cancelled because of 

agency priorities. Publication of this 

notice does not obligate the Department 

of Commerce or EDA to award any 

specific grant or cooperative agreement 

or to obligate all or part of available 

funds. 

EDA expects to allocate 

approximately $7,202,620 to the 

University Center Economic 

Development Program and the 

remaining appropriated funds to EDA’s 

Local and National Technical 

Assistance Programs. The amount of 

University Center funding available for 

competition in FY 2008 is expected to 

be approximately $1,118,370 for the 

Chicago regional office and 

approximately $1,396,760 for the 

Philadelphia regional office. Annual 

awards for the University Centers 

selected under the FY 2005 competition 

were in the $120,000 to $175,000 range 

for the Chicago regional office and in 

the $80,000 to $150,000 range for the 

Philadelphia regional office. These 

regional offices may, however, choose to 

fund awards under this competition 

outside of these ranges. The remaining 

FY 2008 University Center Economic 

Development Program funds will be 

used to continue support for current 

University Centers selected during the 

FY 2006 and FY 2007 competitions in 

EDA’s other four regional offices. 

Subject to the availability of funding at 

the time of award, the funds allocated 

to the University Center Economic 

Development Program are anticipated to 

be available until expended. 

Statutory Authority: The authority for 

the University Center Program is section 

207 (42 U.S.C. 3147) of the Public 

Works and Economic Development Act 

of 1965, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3121 et 

seq.) (PWEDA). The specific authority 

for the University Center Economic 

Development Program is section 207 of 

PWEDA (42 U.S.C. 3147), which 

authorizes EDA to make grants for the 

establishment of University Centers. 

EDA’s regulations at 13 CFR parts 300–

302 and subpart B of 13 CFR part 306 

set forth the general and specific 

regulatory requirements applicable to 

the University Center Economic 

Development Program. EDA’s 

regulations are codified at 13 CFR 

chapter III. The regulations and PWEDA 

are accessible on EDA’s Internet Web 

site at http://www.eda.gov/ 

InvestmentsGrants/Lawsreg.xml. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number: 11.303, 

Economic Development—Technical 

Assistance. 

Applicant Eligibility: An accredited 

institution of higher education or a 

consortium of accredited institutions of 

higher education is eligible to apply for 

and to receive funding under the 

University Center Economic 

Development Program. See section 3(12) 

of PWEDA (42 U.S.C. 3122(12)) and 13 

CFR 300.3. A University-affiliated 

research foundation also is eligible to 

apply for and to receive funding under 

the University Center Economic 

Development Program, provided it 

demonstrates (e.g., a letter or other 

documentation from a University 

President or Chancellor) that it 

maintains the full and integral support 

of the University with respect to its 

economic development activities. For 

applicants applying as a consortium, a 

lead agent should be identified who 

would have lead responsibility to EDA 

and to the other members of the 

consortium for implementing a 

University Center Economic 

Development Program award. For FY 

2008, the University Center Economic 

Development Program competition is 

open to eligible applicants in the 

geographic areas served by EDA’s 

Chicago and Philadelphia regional 

offices. The Chicago regional office 

serves Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, 

Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin and 

Muscatine and Scott counties, Iowa. The 

Philadelphia regional office serves 

Connecticut, Delaware, District of 

Columbia, Maine, Maryland, 

Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New 

Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto 

Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, 

Virgin Islands and West Virginia. 

Project Period: The Chicago and 

Philadelphia regional offices will 

provide a three-year project period for 

each University Center selected for 

funding under the FY 2008 University 

Center Economic Development Program 

competition, with the initial award 

being made for the first year of the 

project period. The selected University 

Centers will not have to compete for the 

second and third years of funding. 

Funding beyond the initial year is 

dependent upon the availability of 

funds and satisfactory performance, as 

determined by EDA and expressed in 

written notice. Matching share 

commitment percentages must remain 

the same for all three years of funding. 

Current University Center operators in 

the service areas of EDA’s Atlanta, 

Austin, Denver and Seattle regional 

offices will not have to compete for 

continuation funding in FY 2008, 

subject to the availability of funds and 

satisfactory continuing performance, as 

determined by EDA and expressed in a 

written notice. The servicing EDA 

regional office will contact current 

University Center operators regarding 

the procedures for applying for FY 2008 

continuation funding. 

Cost Sharing Requirement: Generally, 

the amount of the EDA grant may not 

exceed fifty (50) percent of the total cost 

of the project. Projects may receive an 

additional amount that shall not exceed 

thirty (30) percent, as determined by 

EDA, based on the relative needs of the 

region in which the project will be 

located. See section 204(a) of PWEDA 

(42 U.S.C. 3144) and 13 CFR 301.4(b)(1). 

The Assistant Secretary of Commerce 

for Economic Development has the 

discretion to establish a maximum EDA 

investment rate of up to one hundred 

(100) percent where the project (i) 

merits and is not otherwise feasible 

without an increase to the EDA 

investment rate; or (ii) will be of no or 

only incidental benefit to the recipient. 

See section 204(c)(3) of PWEDA (42 

U.S.C. 3144) and 13 CFR 301.4(b)(4). 

In the application review process, 

EDA will consider the nature of the 

contribution (cash or in-kind) and the 

amount of the matching share funds. 

While cash contributions are preferred, 

in-kind contributions, fairly evaluated 

by EDA, may provide the non-federal 

share of the total project cost. See 

section 204(b) of PWEDA (42 U.S.C. 

3144) and Section I.B. of the FFO 

announcement for this request for 

applications. In-kind contributions, 

which may include assumptions of debt 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2008 / Notices 6117 

and contributions of space, equipment, 

and services, are eligible to be included 

as part of the non-federal share of 

eligible project costs if they meet 

applicable federal cost principles and 

uniform administrative requirements. 

Funds from other federal financial 

assistance awards are considered 

matching share funds only if authorized 

by statute, which may be determined by 

EDA’s reasonable interpretation of the 

statute. See 13 CFR 300.3. The applicant 

must show that the matching share is 

committed to the project for the entire 

project period, will be available as 

needed and is not conditioned or 

encumbered in any way that precludes 

its use consistent with the requirements 

of EDA investment assistance. See 13 

CFR 301.5. 

Intergovernmental Review: 

Applications for funding under the 

University Center Economic 

Development Program are subject to the 

State review requirements imposed by 

Executive Order 12372, 

‘‘Intergovernmental Review of Federal 

Programs.’’

Evaluation and Selection Procedures: 

Prior to the review paneling process, 

EDA’s Chicago and Philadelphia 

regional offices will undertake a 

technical review of each application to 

ensure that all required forms, 

signatures and documentation are 

present and that the application is in 

compliance with the requirements of 

this competitive solicitation. 

Applications failing to meet the 

technical requirements of this 

competitive solicitation will not be 

referred to the review panel. 

Applications meeting all technical 

requirements will undergo a merit 

review by EDA’s Chicago and 

Philadelphia regional offices. The 

review panel will consist of federal 

employees, at least three (3) of whom 

will be members of EDA staff from the 

Chicago and Philadelphia regional 

offices, who will evaluate and 

competitively rate and rank all 

technically-sufficient applications using 

the criteria provided under ‘‘Evaluation 

Criteria’’ below. The Regional Director 

of each regional office is the Selecting 

Official for the applications received 

from applicants located within that 

regional office’s geographic service area. 

The review panel will submit to the 

Selecting Official a list of applicants 

recommended for funding. 

Evaluation Criteria: The evaluation of 

applications will be accomplished 

through a review using the following 

criteria, listed in descending order of 

importance: (i) Ability to satisfy one or 

more of the University Center-specific 

investment policy guidelines; (ii) 

applicant’s ability to successfully 

implement the project; (iii) feasibility of 

the project budget; and (iv) cost of the 

project to the Federal government. Each 

criterion is described below. 

Ability to Satisfy One or More of the 

University Center-specific Investment 

Policy Guidelines. The following 

University Center-specific investment 

policy guidelines have been adapted 

from (i) EDA’s general investment 

policy guidelines set forth in 13 CFR 

301.8 and (ii) the specific award 

requirements for University Center 

projects listed in 13 CFR 306.5 (each 

sub-criterion listed below will be given 

equivalent weight). You must provide 

responses to these University Centerspecific investment policy guidelines as 

part of the Project Narrative discussed 

in Section IV.B.1. of the FFO 

announcement. 

1. Be market-based and results driven. 

An investment in an EDA University 

Center will capitalize on the university’s 

competitive strengths and will bolster 

regional economic competitiveness, 

resulting in tangible, quantifiable 

improvements in regional economic 

health, such as increased numbers of 

higher-skill, higher-wage jobs, increased 

tax revenue or increased private sector 

investment. 

2. Have strong organizational 

leadership. An investment will have 

strong leadership, relevant project 

management experience, and a 

significant commitment of human 

resources talent to ensure a highperforming University Center. 

Specifically for University Center 

investments, this includes: (a) The 

extent to which the proposed University 

Center will maximize coordination with 

other relevant organizations and avoid 

duplication of services offered by other 

organizations; (b) the extent to which 

the University Center will access, take 

advantage of, and be supported by the 

other resources present at the 

sponsoring institution, especially the 

institution’s economic development 

activities; and (c) the degree of evidence 

demonstrating the support and 

commitment (both financial and nonfinancial) of the highest management 

levels of the proposed University 

Center’s sponsoring institution. 

3. Advance productivity, innovation 

and entrepreneurship. An investment in 

a proposed University Center will 

embrace the principles of 

entrepreneurship; enhance regional 

industry clusters, and leverage and link 

technology innovators (university 

research) with the private sector to 

create the conditions for greater 

productivity, innovation and higherskill, higher-wage job creation. 

4. Look beyond the immediate 

economic horizon, anticipate economic 

changes, and diversify the local and 

regional economy. A University Center’s 

activities will be part of an overarching, 

long-term comprehensive economic 

development strategy that enhances a 

region’s success in achieving a rising 

standard of living. 

5. Demonstrate a high degree of local 

commitment by exhibiting: 

• High levels of local government or 

non-profit matching funds and private 

sector leverage; 

• Clear and unified leadership and 

support by local elected officials; and 

• Strong cooperation between the 

business sector, relevant regional 

partners and local, State and Federal 

governments. 

Ability to Successfully Implement the 

Project: The review panel will evaluate 

the applicant’s ability to successfully 

implement the project. This evaluation 

will include the extent to which the 

applicant (including its sponsoring 

institution) has successfully 

implemented past technical assistance 

projects, especially those involving 

economic development. The review 

panel also will evaluate the expertise of 

project staff, as well as the academic 

programs and other resources available 

within the sponsoring institution. See 

13 CFR 306.5. 

Feasibility of Project Budget: The 

review panel will evaluate the 

feasibility of the project budget, 

including but not limited to the 

reasonableness and the allowability of 

project costs. 

Cost of the Project to the Federal 

Government: The review panel will 

evaluate the cost of the project to the 

Federal government, taking into account 

the technical assistance services to be 

performed by the University Center and 

how those services are anticipated to 

spur regional economic development. 

As provided under ‘‘Cost Sharing 

Requirement’’ in this request for 

applications and in Section I.B. of the 

FFO announcement, EDA will give a 

preference to those applications that 

include a cash contribution for the 

matching share requirement. 

Selection Factors: EDA expects to 

fund the highest ranking applications 

submitted under this competition 

solicitation. The Selecting Official will 

normally follow the recommendations 

of the review panel; however, the 

Selecting Official may decide not to 

make a selection, or he may select an 

application out of rank order for several 

reasons, including: (1) A determination 

that the application better meets the 

overall objectives of sections 2 and 207 

of PWEDA (42 U.S.C. 3121 and 3147); 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

6118 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2008 / Notices 

(2) the availability of program funding; 

(3) the geographic balance in 

distribution of program funds; (4) 

program priorities as set forth in the 

FFO announcement; or (5) the 

applicant’s performance under previous 

federal financial assistance awards. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements: 

The administrative and national policy 

requirements for all Department of 

Commerce awards, contained in the 

Department of Commerce Pre-Award 

Notification Requirements for Grants 

and Cooperative Agreements, published 

in the Federal Register on December 30, 

2004 (69 FR 78389), are applicable to 

this competitive solicitation.

regional office will hold a preapplication teleconference on March 5, 

2008 at 10 a.m. (CST). The Philadelphia 

regional office will hold its preapplication teleconference call on 

March 12, 2008 at 2 p.m. (EST). These 

teleconferences will provide general

applications for funding under this 

competitive solicitation. To ensure the 

integrity of this competition, EDA will 

not provide substantive information 

regarding the competition to prospective 

applicants outside of these scheduled 

teleconferences. 

To ensure that enough incoming lines 

are available for each caller, the Chicago 

regional office requires interested 

parties planning to participate on the 

teleconference to register no later than 

5 p.m. (CST) on February 27, 2008; the

and an opportunity for public comments 

are not required by the Administrative 

Procedure Act or any other law for rules 

concerning grants, benefits, and 

contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because
