Example:
If a program statute requires that each application address how the applicant will serve the needs of limited English proficient children, under § 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.
