Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 29, 2009 / Notices
(Legal authority: Section 803(b) and
814 of NAPA, as amended and 42 U.S.C.
2991b–3(b)(7)(C).)
Federal Share: Financial assistance
provided by ANA in the amount of 80
percent of the approved costs of the
project. The Commissioner may approve
assistance in excess of such percentage
if such action is in furtherance of the
purposes of NAPA.
Language Restoration Program: An
educational program that operates at
least one Native American language
program for the community in which it
serves; provides training programs for
teachers of Native American languages;
develops instructional materials for the
programs; works towards a goal of
increasing language proficiency and
fluency in at least one Native American
language; and provides instruction in at
least one Native American language.
D. ANA Application Evaluation
Criteria: ANA will revise the evaluation
criteria throughout all FOAs to simplify
what information is being requested
from applicants and to allow greater
flexibility in applicants’ proposals. The
evaluation criteria will be revised to
include clear explanations as to how
ANA will assess the information
provided in the applications.
(Legal authority: Section 803(c) of
NAPA, as amended.)
i. Titles and Assigned Weight: In FY
2010, ANA will reduce the number of
evaluation criteria from six to four and
adjust the weighted scores to focus on
those elements that are important to
project success and project monitoring.
Weighted sub criteria scores are
identified for Criterion 2 only. ANA is
proposing generic titles for the criterion
to eliminate confusion between the
titles of the project content categories
and the evaluation criteria.
For FY 2010, the criteria will be
weighted as follows:
Criterion 1—20 points;
Criterion 2—50 points;
Sub criterion—Project Strategy and
Objective Work Plan (OWP)—40 points
Sub criterion—Contingency Planning
and Sustainability—10 points
Criterion 3—15 points; and
Criterion 4—15 points.
ii. ANA Evaluation Criteria: ANA will
simplify what is being evaluated to
focus on elements of the proposed
project that are important for project
success or to monitoring progress.
Included here is a summary of each
criterion. Each FOA will more fully
describe the evaluation criteria.
(a) Criterion 1: Under this criterion,
applications will be evaluated on the
applicant’s connection and commitment
to the target community and the need
for assistance, as demonstrated by the

VerDate Nov<24>2008

19:02 Dec 28, 2009

Jkt 220001

stated problem. The applicant will be
asked to identify a problem statement
and project goal.
(b) Criterion 2: Under this criterion,
applications will be evaluated on the
strength of the project approach and the
applicant’s capacity to implement the
project. The applicant will be asked to
describe the project strategy, provide the
OWP, identify challenges and
contingency planning, and demonstrate
sustainability of the project.
(c) Criterion 3: Under this criterion,
the application will be evaluated on the
three identified impact indicators, the
target numbers and the tracking
mechanisms. Two impact indicators,
namely partnerships and leveraged
resources, are standard for all
applications. ANA requests that
applicants identify a third impact
indicator, which will be used to track
how well the project addressed the
problem statement. ANA will request
baseline data, which is the existing
situation at the time of the application,
a target situation at the end of the
project period, and a target for three
years after the end of the project period.
(d) Criterion 4: Under this criterion,
the application will be evaluated on the
strength of the budget and how well it
supports successful completion of the
project objectives. ANA will request that
the applicant present a line-item budget
and budget justification for each budget
period. The budget justification should
tie the budget to the project strategy and
should demonstrate the cost
effectiveness of the budget.
II. Panel Review Process. In
accordance with the Department of
Health and Human Services Grants
Policy Statement, revised in January
2007, applicants may receive a summary
of the panel review comments after
funding decisions have been made. The
comment summaries will assist
applicants in compiling improved
applications for future funding
competitions.
(Legal authority: Section 814 of
NAPA, as amended.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93–
288) (the Stafford Act), as amended is
the legal basis for FEMA to provide
financial needs and services to
individuals who apply for disaster
assistance benefits in the event of a
federally declared disaster. Regulations
in title 44 CFR, Subpart D, ‘‘Federal
Assistance to Individuals and
Households’’, implement the policy and
procedures set forth in section 408 of
the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174, as
amended. This program provides
financial assistance and, if necessary,

direct assistance to eligible individuals
and households who, as a direct result
of a major disaster, have uninsured or
under-insured, damage, necessary
expenses, and serious needs which are
not covered through other means.
Individuals and households may
apply for assistance under the
Individuals and Households program
via telephone, internet, or on paper
using FEMA Form 009–0–1
Application/Registration for Disaster
Assistance or FEMA Form 009–0–2,
Solicitud/Registro Para Asistencia De
Resastre. For housing assistance, FEMA
provides direct assistance to eligible
applicants pursuant to the requirements
in 44 CFR 206.117. To receive direct
assistance for housing (e.g., mobile
home or travel trailer) from FEMA, the
applicant is required to acknowledge
and accept the conditions for occupying
government property. The form used is
the Declaration and Release; FEMA
Form 009–0–4, or the Declaracio´n Y
Autorizacio´n; FEMA Form 009–0–5.
In addition, the applicant is required
to acknowledge that he or she has been
informed of the conditions for
continued direct housing assistance. To
accomplish these notifications, FEMA
uses the applicant’s household
composition date in NEMIS to prepare
a Receipt for Government Property
FEMA Form 009–0–6, or the Recibo de
Propiedad del Gobierno FEMA Form
009–0–3.
