    Evidence of record shows that the applicant arrived in "Muenster NRW" on 7 August 2002 and entered into a lease on 1 September 2002. The "Muenster H" OHA rate was higher than the "other NRW" OHA rate. However, as the advisory opinion states, the per diem committee cannot establish rates retroactively and no authorization is available at the higher "Muenster H" rate for OHA during the period of the applicant's lease.
