996	996	12 cost-effective practices. The recipient's and

1006	1006	22 identification of promising practices among recipients and
1007	1007	23 subrecipients and build the evidence upon which the State
1008	1008	24 agency's program and performance decisions are made. The
1009	1009	25 frequency of reports on performance goals, indicators, and
