§ 17.712 - Selecting applications.

(a) General. The highest-ranked applications will be conditionally selected in accordance with their ranked order, as determined under § 17.711 of this part. Each will be requested, as necessary, to provide additional project information, as described in § 17.713 of this part as a prerequisite to a grant from VA.

(b) Ties between applicants. In the event of a tie between applicants, VA will use the selecting criterion in § 17.711(d)(4) of this part, need for the type of project proposed in the area to be served, to determine which application should be selected for potential funding.

(c) Procedural error. If an application would have been selected but for a procedural error committed by VA, VA will select that application for potential funding when sufficient funds become available if there is no material change in the information that resulted in its selection. A new application will not be required for this purpose.
