The Attorney General will use his discretion to decide whether a case is eligible to receive funds from the SPA and how much will be awarded, if anything. In exercising his discretion, the Attorney General may consider such factors as seriousness of the crime involved, local budget circumstances for the prosecuting attorney making the application, the amount of extraordinary actual costs of prosecution or projected costs of prosecution involved in the particular case, the availability of funds in the SPA, the competing needs of other applicants for funds from the SPA, prior awards of funds from the SPA to the applicant, and such other facts and circumstances deemed relevant to the decision by the Attorney General. The Attorney General is not obliged to award funds in every eligible case. The Attorney General may award less than the full amount requested by the prosecuting attorney in an eligible case. The Attorney General will attempt to announce his decision on the eligibility of cases and the award of funds, if any, within thirty days of receipt of the prosecuting attorney's written application. In the event that the Attorney General requires more information from the applicant, he may request more information from the applicant, who will respond to the request within a reasonably prompt time. In cases where the Attorney General requests more information from the applicant, the Attorney General's thirty day period for decision will commence from the date of receipt of the additional information.
