• Establish a schedule for agencies to
review requests for federal
authorizations required for a project,
and
• Compile a record of each agency’s
decision, together with the record of the
Commission’s decision, to serve as a
consolidated record for the purpose of
appeal or review, including judicial
review.

federal authorization responsibilities.

reporting burden 2 and cost 3 (rounded)
