Prior to an award of Federal funding for any project selected under this funding opportunity, Reclamation must determine that the applicant’s Feasibility Study meets Reclamation requirements, and that the cost-estimating and design information for the project are sufficient as appropriate for the stage of development of the project. This program structure is intended to acknowledge that project sponsors may have information sufficient to meet Feasibility Study requirements prior to completing project design, and that more detailed information can be provided to Reclamation as design work progresses and cost estimates are refined.
