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.
