    A recipient of an award under this competition must provide not 
less than 25 percent of the total cost (the sum of the Federal and non-
Federal shares) of the project it conducts. The non-Federal share may 
be in the form of cash or in-kind contributions, including the fair 
market value of facilities, overhead, personnel, and equipment.

Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs

    This program is subject to the requirements of Executive Order 
12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs) and the 
regulations in 34 CFR Part 79.

Instructions for Part III--Budget Narrative

    Prepare a detailed Budget Narrative for the first year of the 
project that justifies, and/or clarifies the budget figures shown in 
Section A. Explain:
    1. How personnel costs are calculated--provide yearly and/or hourly 
rates; for other than full-time staff, provide hours per day, week, 
month, and year.
    2. The basis used to estimate certain costs (professional 
personnel, consultants, travel, indirect costs) and any other cost that 
may appear unusual;
    3. How the major cost items relate to the proposed project 
activities (refer to application page);
    4. The costs of the project's evaluation component;
    5. What matching occurs in each budget category; and provide 
estimated budget totals for the second, third, fourth, and fifth years 
of the project.

Instructions for Part IV--Program Narrative

    The program narrative will comprise the largest portion of your 
application. This part is where you spell out the who, what, when, 
where, why, and how of your proposed project.
    Although you will not have a form to fill out for your narrative, 
there is a format. This format is the selection criteria. Because your 
application will be reviewed and rated by a review panel on the basis 
of the selection criteria, your narrative should follow the order and 
format of the criteria.
    Before preparing your application, you should carefully read the 
legislation and regulations of the program, eligibility requirements, 
information on any priority set by the Secretary, and the selection 
criteria for this competition.
    Your program narrative should be clear, concise, and to the point. 
Begin the narrative with a one page abstract or summary of your 
proposed project. Then describe the project in detail, addressing each 
selection criterion in order.
    The Secretary strongly requests you limit the program narrative to 
no more than 30 double-spaced, typed pages (on one side only), although 
the Secretary will consider your application if it is longer. Be sure 
to number consecutively ALL pages in your application.
    You may include supporting documentation as appendices. Be sure 
that this material is concise and pertinent to this program 
competition.
    You are advised that:
    (a) The Department considers only information contained in the 
application in ranking applications for funding consideration. Letters 
of support sent separately from the formal application package are not 
considered in the review by the technical review panels. (EDGAR Sec. 
75.217)
    (b) The technical review panel evaluates each application solely on 
the basis of the established technical review criteria. Letters of 
support contained in the application will strengthen the application 
only insofar as they contain commitments which pertain to the 
established technical review criteria, such as commitment and 
resources.

Estimated Public Reporting Burden

    Under terms of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, as amended, and 
the regulations implementing that Act, the Department of Education 
invites comment on the public reporting burden in this collection of 
information. Public reporting burden for this collection of information 
is estimated to average 90 hours per response, including the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. You may send comments regarding this burden 
to the U.S. Department of Education, Information Management and 
Compliance Division, Washington, D.C. 20202-4651; and to the Office of 
Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project, OMB 1830-0013, 
Washington, D.C. 20503.

Appendix B

    Potential applicants frequently direct questions to officials of 
the Department regarding application notices and programmatic and 
administrative regulations governing various direct grant programs. To 
assist potential applicants the Department has assembled the following 
most commonly asked questions.
    Q. Can we get an extension of the deadline?
    A. No. A closing date may be changed only under extraordinary 
circumstances. Any change must be announced in the Federal Register and 
apply to all applications. Waivers for individual applications cannot 
be granted regardless of the circumstances.
    Q. How many copies of the application should I submit and must they 
be bound?
    A. Our new policy calls for an original and six copies to be 
submitted. The binding of applications is optional.
    Q. We just missed the deadline for the XXX competition. May we 
submit under another competition?
    A. Yes, however, the likelihood of success is not good. A properly 
prepared application must meet the requirements of the competition to 
which it is submitted.
    Q. I'm not sure which competition is most appropriate for my 
project. What should I do?
    A. We are happy to discuss any questions with you and provide 
clarification on the unique elements of the various competitions.
    Q. Will you help us prepare our application?
    A. We are happy to provide general program information. Clearly, it 
would not be appropriate for staff to participate in the actual writing 
of an application, but we can respond to specific questions about 
application requirements, evaluation criteria, and the priorities. 
Applicants should understand that this previous preapplication 
consultation is not required, nor will it in any way influence the 
success of an application.
    Q. When will I find out if I'm going to be funded?
    A. You can expect to receive notification within 3 to 4 months of 
the application closing date, depending on the number of applications 
received and the number of competitions with closing dates at about the 
same time.
    Q. Once my application has been reviewed by the review panel, can 
you tell me the outcome?
    A. No. Every year we are called by a number of applicants who have 
legitimate reasons for needing to know the outcome of the review prior 
to official notification. Some applicants need to make job decisions, 
some need to notify a local school district, etc. Regardless of the 
reason, because final funding decisions have not been made at that 
point, we cannot share information about the review with anyone.
    Q. Will my application be returned if I am not funded?
    A. We no longer return unsuccessful applications. Thus, applicants 
should retain at least one copy of the application.
    Q. Can I obtain copies of reviewers' comments?
    A. Upon written request, reviewers' comments will be mailed to 
unsuccessful applicants.
    Q. Is travel allowed under these projects?
    A. Travel associated with carrying out the project is allowed. 
Because we will request the project directors and evaluators of funded 
projects to attend an annual project directors meeting, you should 
include annual trips for each to Washington, DC., in the travel budget. 
Travel to conferences is sometimes allowed when it is for purposes of 
dissemination.
    Q. If my application receives high scores from the reviewers, does 
that mean that I will receive funding?
    A. Not necessarily. It is often the case that the number of 
applications scored highly by the reviewers exceeds the dollars 
available for funding projects under a particular competition. The 
order of selection, which is based on the scores of all the 
applications and other relevant factors, determines the applications 
that can be funded.
    Q. What happens during negotiations?
    A. During negotiations technical and budget issues may be raised. 
These are issues that have been identified during the panel and staff 
reviews that require clarification. Sometimes issues are stated as 
``conditions.'' These are issues that have been identified as so 
critical that the award cannot be made unless those conditions are met. 
Questions may also be raised about the proposed budget. Generally, 
these issues are raised because there is inadequate justification or 
explanation of a particular budget item, or because the budget item 
seems unimportant to the successful completion of the project. If you 
are asked to make changes that you feel could seriously affect the 
project's success, you may provide reasons for not making the changes 
or provide alternative suggestions. Similarly, if proposed budget 
reductions will, in your opinion, seriously affect the project 
activities, you may explain why and provide additional justification 
for the proposed expenses. An award cannot be made until all 
negotiation issues have been resolved.
    Q. How do I provide an assurance?
    A. Except for SF-424B, ``Assurances--Non-Construction Programs,'' 
simply state in writing that you are meeting a proscribed requirement.
    Q. Where can copies of the Federal Register, program regulations, 
and Federal statutes be obtained?
    A. Copies of these materials can usually be found at your local 
library. If not, they can be obtained from the Government Printing 
Office by writing to: Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government 
Printing Office, Washington, DC. 20402. Telephone: (202) 783-3238. When 
requesting copies of regulations or statutes, it is helpful to use the 
specific name, public law number, or part number. The material 
referenced in this notice should be referred to as follows:
    (1) Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act 
(Perkins Act) (Public Law 101-392, 104 Stat. 753 (1990)).
    (2) State Vocational and Applied Technology Education Programs and 
National Discretionary Programs of Vocational Education Final 
Regulations, 34 CFR Parts 400 and 426.
    (3) Education Department General Administrative Regulations, 34 CFR 
Parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 85, and 86.
    Q. What are the Department of Education's Program Effectiveness 
Panel and National Diffusion Network?
    A. The Program Effectiveness Panel (PEP) is the Department of
