  We use a high resolution $^{32}{\rm S}(d,t)$ measurement to investigate the
claimed existence of a 6401(3) keV state in $^{31}$S that may affect the
$^{30}{\rm P}(p,\gamma)$ nuclear reaction rate in oxygen-neon (ONe) novae. Our
data are shown to exclude the null hypothesis - that the state does not exist -
with high significance. Additionally, the data also suggest the existence of a
hitherto unreported state at 6648(4) keV. This state corresponds to a
$^{30}{\rm P}(p,\gamma)$ resonance at $517(4)$ keV, located below the higher
edge of the Gamow window for peak nova temperatures of about 0.4 GK.
