§404.26. Must an appraisal investigation be completed before I can request Reclamation to review a feasibility study that was not completed under this program?
43 C.F.R. § 404.26
In general, Reclamation must review an appraisal investigation and prepare an appraisal report recommending that a feasibility study be conducted before Reclamation can review a feasibility study completed without Reclamation assistance under § 404.11(c). However, Reclamation may review a feasibility study without first reviewing and approving an appraisal investigation, if Reclamation determines that:
No appraisal investigation was prepared for the project;
The feasibility study satisfies the appraisal criteria set forth in § 404.44; and
Reclamation documents these findings in the feasibility report.
