2 Miss. Code. R. 903-3.7

Current through October 31, 2024
Rule 2-903-3.7 - Establishing Priorities

Each district will establish priorities of practices. This priority ranking will serve as the basis for approving eligible applications. By June 1 each year, the district will submit to the Mississippi Soil and Water Conservation Commission the priority rankings of practices for approval. During August, the district will approve applications for those practices with the highest priority. If funds remain unobligated after the approval of applications containing practices of the highest priority, the district will approve applications containing practices of the second highest priority. This process will continue until the district's allocation has been obligated or until all eligible applications have been approved. If funds remain after all applications have been approved, the district will approve additional applications until November 1. On November 1, any unobligated funds will be withdrawn by the Commission for redistribution to other districts. For this reason, it is in the best interest of the district to encourage early application since applications received after the end of October will probably not be approved until the following year. It is important to remember that applications may be accepted at any time although they will not be approved until unobligated funds are available. See MCSP-1 for example of setting priorities by a district.
