Timing

The proponent must provide the Agency with an Impact Statement that contains the information and studies set out in the Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines within 3 years of the date that the Notice of Commencement is posted on the Agency’s Registry. However, if the proponent requests an extension, the Agency may extend the timeline.
