20 C.F.R. § 633.205 Notification of selection.
Title 20 - Employees' Benefits
(a) Respondents to the SGA which are selected as potential grantees shall be so notified by the Department. The notification shall invite each potential grantee to negotiate the final terms and conditions of the grant, shall establish a reasonable time and place for the negotiation, and shall indicate the State or area to be covered by the grant. Funds may be awarded for two program years. (b) In the event that no grant applications are received for a specific State or area or that those received are deemed to be unacceptable, or where a grant agreement is not successfully negotiated, the Department may give the Governor first right to submit an acceptable application pursuant to §633.201. Should the Governor not accept the offer within fifteen days, the Department may then (1) designate another organization or organizations, (2) reopen the area for competitive bidding, or (3) use the funds for national-account activities. (c) An applicant whose grant application is not selected by the Department to receive section 402 funds shall be notified in writing. (d) Applicants who submit grant applications which have been rejected may not resubmit a new grant application for the State(s) or area(s) in which they are interested in providing services until the area(s) is announced by the Department as reopened for competition. (e) Any applicant whose grant application is denied in whole or in part by the Department may request an administrative review as provided in part 636, with respect to whether there is a basis in the record to support the Department's decision. This appeal will not in any way interfere with the Department's designation and funding of another organization to service the area in question during the appeal period. The available remedy under such an appeal will be the right to be designated in the future rather than a retroactive or immediately effective selection status. Therefore, in the event the ALJ rules that the organization should have been selected and the organization continues to meet the requirements of this part, the Department will select and fund the organization within 90 days of the ALJ's decision unless the end of the 90-day period is within 6 months of the end of the funding period. Any organization selected and/or funded prior to the ALJ's decision will be affected in a manner prescribed by the Department. All parties will agree to the provisions of this paragraph as a condition for funding.
