Sec. 65.5  How will applications be evaluated?

    (a) The Director shall evaluate applications through the officers 
and employees, and experts and consultants engaged by the Director for 
that purpose. The Director's first level of evaluation will be for 
technical merit and shall take into account, among other pertinent 
factors, the significance of the project, the qualifications and 
competency of the project director and proposed staff (including the 
ability to manage complex training programs), the adequacy of selection 
criteria for trainees for the project, the adequacy of the detailed 
training plan including provision for hands-on training, the adequacy of 
the applicant's resources available for the project, the amount of grant 
funds necessary for completion of its objectives, and how well the 
projects meet training criteria in OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and 
Emergency Response Regulation (29 CFR 1910.120) and/or how well they 
cover the target populations listed in Sec. 65.1(b). A second level of 
review will be conducted for program relevance.
    (b) Within the limits of funds available, the Director may award 
training grants to carry out those projects which have satisfied the 
requirements of the regulations of this part; are determined by the 
Director to be technically meritorious; and in the judgment of the 
Director best promote the purposes of the grant programs authorized by 
section 126(g) of the SARA or section 118 of the HMTA, the regulations 
of this part, and program priorities.
