Sec. 75.209  Selection criteria based on statutory provisions.

    (a) The Secretary may evaluate applications by--
    (1) Establishing selection criteria based on statutory provisions 
that apply to the authorized program, which may include, but are not 
limited to--
    (i) Specific statutory selection criteria;
    (ii) Allowable activities;
    (iii) Application content requirements; or
    (iv) Other pre-award and post-award conditions; and
    (2) Assigning the maximum possible score for each of the criteria 
established under paragraph (a)(1) of this section.

    (b) The Secretary evaluates an application by determining how well 
the project proposed by the applicant meets each statutory provision 
selected under paragraph (a)(1) of this section.

    Example: If a program statute requires that each application address 
how the applicant will serve the needs of limited English proficient 
children, under Sec. 75.209 the Secretary could establish a criterion 
and evaluate applications based on how well the applicant's proposed 
project meets that statutory provision. The Secretary might decide to 
award up to 10 points for this criterion. Applicants who have the best 
proposals to serve the needs of limited English proficient children 
would score highest under the criterion in this example.
