notice in the Federal Register. The effect of each type of priority follows:
Absolute priority: Under an absolute priority, we consider only applications that meet the priority 34 CFR
75.105c3.
Competitive preference priority:
Under a competitive preference priority, we give competitive preference to an application by 1 awarding additional points, depending on the extent to which the application meets the priority 34 CFR 75.105c2i; or 2 selecting an application that meets the priority over an application of comparable merit that does not meet the priority 34 CFR
75.105c2ii.
Invitational priority: Under an invitational priority, we are particularly interested in applications that meet the priority. However, we do not give an application that meets the priority a preference over other applications 34
CFR 75.105c1.
Final Definitions: We establish the following definitions for use in any competition in which the final priority is used:
Intensive training and technical assistance TA means training and TA
provided to the governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects primarily on-site over an extended period. Intensive training and TA is based on an ongoing relationship between the training and TA center staff and the governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS
grant and the current personnel of the AIVRS projects under the terms of a signed intensive training and TA
agreement.
Targeted training and technical assistance means training and TA based on needs common to one or more governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects on a time-limited basis and with limited commitment of training and technical assistance center resources. Targeted training and TA are delivered through virtual or in-person methods tailored to the identified needs of the participating governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects.
Universal training and technical assistance means training and TA
broadly available to governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects and other interested parties through their own initiative, resulting in minimal interaction with training and technical assistance center staff. Universal

training and TA includes generalized presentations, products, and related activities available through a website or through brief contacts with the training and technical assistance center staff.
This document does not preclude us from proposing additional priorities, requirements, definitions, or selection criteria, subject to meeting applicable rulemaking requirements.
Note: This document does not solicit applications. In any year in which we choose to use the priority and definitions we invite applications through a notice in the Federal Register.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Regulatory Impact Analysis Under Executive Order 12866, OMB
must determine whether this regulatory action is significant and, therefore, subject to the requirements of the Executive order and subject to review by OMB. Section 3f of Executive Order 12866 defines a significant regulatory action as an action likely to result in a rule that may 1 Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, or adversely affect a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or Tribal governments or communities in a material way also referred to as an economically significant rule;
2 Create serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency;
3 Materially alter the budgetary impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or 4 Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the Presidents priorities, or the principles stated in the Executive order.
This final regulatory action is not a significant regulatory action subject to review by OMB under section 3f of Executive Order 12866.
We have also reviewed this final regulatory action under Executive Order 13563, which supplements and explicitly reaffirms the principles, structures, and definitions governing regulatory review established in Executive Order 12866. To the extent permitted by law, Executive Order 13563 requires that an agency 1 Propose or adopt regulations only upon a reasoned determination that their benefits justify their costs recognizing that some benefits and costs are difficult to quantify;
2 Tailor its regulations to impose the least burden on society, consistent with obtaining regulatory objectives and
