The Corps reviews the Sponsor's request to determine if it fits within
existing authorities or whether the request would require Congressional
authorization.

If it fits within the Continuing Authorities Program (CAP), then the
District requests funds from the Division to initiate a short
reconnaissance effort (usually \$10K to \$20K) to determine Federal
interest in proceeding with the study. See descriptions of different
authorities and typical timelines below.

\* For Section 1135 and 206, projects with an estimated Federal share of
\$300,000 or less do not have separate Feasibility and Plans and
Specifications phases. The formulation, analysis, justification and
design tasks as well as NEPA coordination/ environmental compliance
documentation take place in the one-step planning and design process
(approximately 12 months).

If the problem does not fit within the Continuing Authorities Program
(CAP), then the Corps has to have Congressional study
resolution/authorization. This would come from either a Senate
Resolution (Environment and Public Works Committee) or House Resolution
(Transportation and Infrastructure Committee) or language in a Water
Resources Development Act (WRDA) usually passed by Congress and signed
by the President every 2 years. The Corps District would work with the
sponsor and Corps Headquarters to submit a General Investigations New
Start Project.

The Corps budget cycle for this initial funding process is:

January OMB provide budget guidance for the Budget Year (Current Fiscal
Year + 2)

March HQ guidance to the District offices

April-May District offices develop program requirements

May-June HQ review and approval

July-August Budget presented to Sec Army

September Budget submitted to OMB

#### November OMB passback

February President's budget to Congress

March--April Congressional hearings

July--September Appropriations bills

September--October President signs appropriations bill

October--December Funding allocations to District offices
