- (a) Reclamation will evaluate the full proposal to conduct an appraisal or a feasibility study in order to ensure that it meets the requirements in § 404.20 and is, therefore, complete. Reclamation will notify you in writing of the outcome of this determination.
- (b) If it is complete, Reclamation will evaluate your proposal against all other proposals received, using a competitive review process based on an application of the prioritization criteria in § 404.13.
(c) Full proposals will be selected for award of assistance based on:
- (1) The evaluation process, as described in § 404.22(b); and
- (2) The availability of appropriations; and
- (3) Other criteria that Reclamation deems appropriate.
- (d) Once the proposal evaluation and selection process is complete, you will be notified in writing of the outcome of your request for assistance.
