(a) The Commission or its designees will make decisions on applications for funding through the use of objective tools and comparative analysis. The Commission or its designees will first determine whether the applicant is eligible for funds in accordance with §173.101 of this chapter (relating to Applicability) and §173.201 of this chapter (relating to Eligibility).
(b) All funding decisions rest completely within the discretionary authority of the Commission or its designees. The receipt of an application for funding does not obligate the Commission to award funding, and the Commission may make grant awards that partially fund budget items or programmatic elements in grant applications.
(c) Making a grant award based on an application does not obligate the Commission to give any subsequent applications priority consideration or to obligate the Commission to make any additional, supplemental, continuing, or other award.
(d) Commission decisions regarding funding are subject to the availability of funds.
