| (a) To nominate a project during a program call administered
by the department, the project sponsor must submit its nomination
in the form prescribed by the department.
(b) The nomination package must present persuasive
evidence of support for the proposed project from the communities
in which it would be implemented and include a commitment to provide
a local funding match of at least 20% of the allowable costs of the
project.
(c) If the project is located in a county that has
been certified by the commission as an economically disadvantaged
county, the nomination package may include a request for adjustment
to the minimum local funding match requirement. For those projects
in which the commission is authorized by law to provide state cost
participation, the department may adjust the amount required by subsection
(b) of this section.
(d) A complete nomination package must be received
by the department no later than the specified deadline published in
the Texas Register. A nomination package
that fails to include any of the items specified in this subsection
or the respective program call is considered to be incomplete and
will not be considered for funding.
