evaluate pre-applications submitted for new grants, and to determine 
those applicants to invite to submit full program applications; and

the selection criteria and competitive preference in Secs. 611.23-611.25

applications submitted for new grants, and to determine those applicants

the selection criteria in Sec. 611.32 to evaluate the full program 
applications.
    (b) Required budgets in pre-applications. An applicant that submits

Program grant under paragraphs (b)(2)(ii) and (b)(3)(ii) must also

program application package.
