    (a) Determine (by survey or other appropriate means) the approximate 
number of
    (1) Migratory agricultural workers and the members of their 
families, and
    (2) Seasonal agricultural workers and the members of their families 
within the project's catchment area in the calendar year in which the 
grant is made and the period of time these workers and their families 
reside in the catchment area during such year.
    (b) Prepare an assessment of need of the population proposed to be 
served by the migrant health program for the services set forth in 
Sec. 56.603(a) of subpart F of this part. This assessment of need must, 
at a minimum, consider the factors listed in Sec. 56.104(b)(3) (i)-(iv).

such assessment, which indicates in detail how the proposed program will 
fulfill the needs identified in that assessment and meet the 
requirements of subpart F of this part.
    (d) Develop a plan for the implementation of the program designed 
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section. The implementation plan must 
provide for the time-phased recruitment and training of the personnel 
essential for the operation of a migrant health program and the gradual 
assumption of operational status of the project so that the project 
will, in the judgment of the Secretary, meet the requirements of subpart 
F of this part as of the end of the project period.
    (e) Implement the plan developed pursuant to paragraph (d) of this 
section in accordance with such paragraph.
    (f) Make efforts to secure within the proposed catchment area of 
such project, to the extent possible, financial and professional 
assistance and support for the project.
    (g) Initiate and encourage continuing community involvement in the 
development and operation of the project through, for example, 
contributions or loans of cash, services, equipment, full- or part-time 
staff, space, materials, or facilities.
    (h) Provide for sufficient staff, qualified by training and 
experience, to carry out the project and establish standards and 
qualifications for personnel (including the project director).
    (i) Utilize, to the maximum extent feasible, other Federal, State, 
local, and private resources available for support of the project, prior 
to use of project funds under this subpart.
    (j) Provide for the means of evaluating the project's progress in 
achievement of its specific objectives and submission of such progress 
reports on the project as the Secretary may from time to time request.
