preliminary creditworthiness assessment, (3) perform a preliminary 
engineering and environmental feasibility assessment, and (4) evaluate 
the project against the selection criteria and identify which projects

invite to submit applications. The Preliminary Application addresses 
the CWIFP eligibility criteria, CWIFP selection criteria, and 
identifies other specific information that must be provided to USACE to 
be considered for credit assistance. The Preliminary Application 
provides USACE with sufficient information to make a project selection 
and invite prospective borrowers to submit applications. Based on 
evaluation of the Preliminary Application, USACE will invite to submit 
an Application only those eligible projects that it expects to proceed 
to closing. Only those entities who are invited by USACE to submit an 
Application should proceed with the Application process. The 
Application provides USACE with information to assess the 
creditworthiness of both the applicant and project, identify the 
project's engineering and financial risk, negotiate the terms and 
conditions of the credit assistance, and calculate the amount of budget 
authority that will be needed to fund the project(s).
