    3. Feasibility Study Purposes: Describe and evaluate alternative plans and fully describe the recommended plan Develop a fully-funded baseline cost of the project Feasibility Report is an Authorization Document and is submitted to Congress for project authorization Feasibility Report serves as a Decision Document to convince the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of project viability

    4. Level of Detail Identified in the PMP Sufficient for: Authorization Decision Within 902 Established Parameters (20%) Must meet NEPA requirements Must include an NED determination or incremental cost analysis Level of Engineering Detail is negotiable with sponsor

    5. Feasibility Phase Studies Starts when the Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreement is signed Cost-shared 50/50 with a local sponsor The sponsors share can be in-kind services

    6. F3 Documentation F4 Documentation AFB Documentation Draft Feasibility Report Final Feasibility Report Division Commanders Report & Notice Chief of Engineers Report Feasibility Phase Sub-Products

    7. Feasibility Milestone Conferences Areas of Emphasis Include: Review of the PMP Review of Guidance Memorandums Establishment of Critical Assumptions Definition of issues for policy resolution

    8. Feasibility Milestone Conferences Chaired by the District Planning Chief Interim study results presented by the Study Team Results of Review presented by Review Team Leader Includes Local Sponsor and SPD Participation Conference Memorandum signed by District Planning Chief Part of SPDs Performance Measurement System May be held as an issue resolution conference

    9. Issue Resolution Conference Are held at any time during the course of the study by request of District or Division Specific issues to be resolved are identified Issues are described and field recommendations are proposed Includes HQUSACE participation Chaired by CESPD Planning Chief
