Sec. 61.32  Ranking non-capital grant recipients for per diem.

    (a) Applications from non-capital grant recipients in response to a 
Notice of Fund Availability will be reviewed and grouped in categories 
according to the funding priorities set forth in the NOFA, if any. Such 
applications will then be ranked within their respective funding 
category according to scores achieved only if the applicant scores at 
least 500 cumulative points from paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), and (i) 
of Sec. 61.13 of this part. The highest-ranked applications for which 
funding is available, within highest priority funding category if 
applicable, will be conditionally selected for eligibility to receive 
per diem payments in accordance with their ranked order. If funding 
priorities have been established and funds are still available after 
selection of those applicants in the highest priority group VA will 
continue to conditionally select applicants in lower priority categories 
in accordance with the selection method set forth in this paragraph 
subject to available funding.
    (b) In the event of a tie between applicants, VA will use the score 
from Sec. 61.13(e) of this part to determine the ranking.
    (c) All applicants responding to a NOFA for ``Per Diem Only'' will 
be subject to the ranking method in paragraph (a) of this section.
    Note to Sec. 61.32: Capital grant recipients are not required to be 
ranked, however, continuation of per diem payments to capital grant 
recipients will be subject to limitations set forth in Sec. 61.33 of 
this part.
