pineda Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 as defined by the EPAsection 5309 has been amended to add a new subsection (3) containing a new capital investment program category for projects requesting federal funding of less than $75,000,000 with a total project cost of less than $250,000,000. That new capital investment program, which will be referred to as the ``Small Starts'' program,While we believe that the New Starts process represents a good starting point for the development of the new Small Starts program, it is clear from the statutory and report language that significant simplification is contemplated.First, the expanded definition of eligibility raises a number of questions. Second, tailoring the project rating and evaluation process to the smaller scale and different nature of the projects, which are likely to be proposed for funding in this program deserves further attention. Finally, the project development process should also be scaled to properly reflect the size and nature of these projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
