Sec. 55a.103  What criteria has HHS established for deciding which grant application to fund?

    (a) The Secretary will give preference to a State, which meets the 
requirements of this part and applies for a grant under this part, over 
other applicants in that State.
    (b) Within the limits of funds available for these purposes the 
Secretary may award grants to assist in the carrying out of those 
programs which will in the Secretary's judgment best promote the 
purposes of section 427(a) of the Act, taking into account;
    (1) The number of miners to be served and their needs; and
    (2) The quality and breadth of services to be provided.
