Sec.  1222.3  Policy.

    (a) Each potential project sponsor shall establish an advisory group 
for the project, to include substantial membership of potential project 
beneficiaries or, to the extent feasible, their democratically chosen 
representatives, prior to the submission of an application to ACTION for 
volunteers.
    (b) The term ``substantial'' means, in this case, a sufficient 
number of appropriate persons to assure that the concerns and points of 
view of the potential project beneficiaries are adequately presented and 
considered in the deliberations of the group. The phrase ``project 
beneficiaries'' means, in this case, recipients of benefits accruing 
directly from project activities as conducted by ACTION Volunteers.
    (c) Potential sponsoring organizations that have an established 
governing, policy, or advisory group whose membership is composed of at 
least 50% of members of the beneficiary population are not required to 
establish a separate project advisory group for the purposes of these 
regulations.
