(1) Within ten (10) calendar days after the application due date, a list of applicants, project names, project locations, selected pools and set-asides, geographic regions, and requested Allocations and all reported self-scoring totals and tie-breaker scores shall be published on the Committee's website as provided in section 5140.

(2) Projects will be evaluated and ranked based on information submitted in the application. Only applications that are substantially complete and self-score high enough to receive an Allocation shall be reviewed. Prior to publishing the preliminary recommendation list on the Committee's website, Applicants and developers/sponsors shall be notified of their preliminary score and the reasons for any modifications from the Applicant's Self-Scoring Worksheet. That notice, or a subsequent notice, may also contain completeness and/or feasibility defects determined during the application evaluation. Notices shall only be sent for projects that self-score high enough to receive an Allocation. Applicants shall have five (5) calendar days to appeal such notice. Appeals shall be addressed to the Executive Director in writing. The Executive Director shall have ten (10) calendar days to issue a final determination. If an Applicant is unsatisfied with the final determination, the Applicant may appeal to the Committee.

(3) The process specified in paragraph 2 above shall be used to produce a list of Applicants for which the Executive Director expects to recommend an Allocation, subject to any pending appeals that may be heard by the Committee.
