# §404.22. How will Reclamation evaluate my full proposal?

- (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](/cfr/43/404.20.md) 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](/cfr/43/404.13.md).
- (c) Full proposals will be selected for award of assistance based on:
  - (1) The evaluation process, as described in [§ 404.22(b)](#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.
