Applications conforming with this part will be evaluated competitively by a panel of USDA Rural Development employees selected by the Administrator of RUS, and will be awarded points as described in the scoring criteria in 7 CFR 1740.8. Applications will be ranked and grants awarded in rank order until all grant funds are expended. 4. Regardless of the score an application receives, if USDA Rural Development determines that the Project is technically or financially infeasible, USDA Rural Development will notify the applicant, in writing, and the application will be returned with no further action. C. Scoring Guidelines 1. The applicant’s self scores in Rurality and Economic Need will be checked and, if necessary, corrected by USDA Rural Development. 2. The Critical Need score will be determined by USDA Rural Development based on information presented in the application. This score is intended to capture from the rural public’s standpoint the necessity and usefulness of the proposed project. This scoring category will also recognize that some transition purchases are more essential than others, so that applications for first digital transmitter capability, and translators[ec3] and transmitter power upgrades that extend coverage into rural-only areas, will receive scoring advantages. Master control facilities which tailor programming to local needs will also be recognized in this category. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES VI. Award Administration Information A.
