NCPC Submission Guidelines

    Federal and non-Federal agency applicants whose development 
proposals are subject to statutorily-mandated Commission plan and 
project review must submit their proposals to the Commission following 
a process laid out in the Submission Guidelines. The Submission 
Guidelines describe the content of submissions, the submission stages, 
and the coordination and review process governing submissions.
    The proposed Submission Guidelines accomplish three primary 
objectives: (1) Create clear, accessible, and efficient guidelines that 
are responsive to applicant needs; (2) Align NCPC's review stages and 
National Environmental Policy Act requirements with those of applicant 
agencies to save time and resources in the planning process; and (3) 
Allow staff to exempt from Commission review certain minor projects 
based on specific criteria where there is no federal interest.

    Authority:  40 U.S.C. 8721(e)(2) and 8722(a).
