# §806.11. Preliminary consultations.

- (a) Any project sponsor of a project that is or may be subject to the Commission's jurisdiction is encouraged, prior to making application for Commission review, to request a preliminary consultation with the Commission staff for an informal discussion of preliminary plans for the proposed project. To facilitate preliminary consultations, it is suggested that the project sponsor provide a general description of the proposed project, a map showing its location and, to the extent available, data concerning dimensions of any proposed structures, anticipated water needs, and the environmental impacts.
- (b) Except for project sponsors of electric power generation projects under [§ 801.12(c)(2)](/cfr/18/801.12.md?p=c-2) of this chapter, preliminary consultation is optional for the project sponsor (except with respect to aquifer test plans under [§ 806.12](/cfr/18/806.12.md)) but shall not relieve the sponsor from complying with the requirements of the compact or with this part.
