    The priorities in the notice of final priorities for this program, 
as published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, apply to 
these competitions. For the purpose of this notice, the Secretary 
designates those priorities as absolute for FY 1995. Under an absolute

(34 CFR 75.105(c)(3)).

meeting for this program this fiscal year and expects to have annual
