4.5.1 Notice of Acceptance and Readiness for Environmental Analysis

The REA Notice is issued once OEP determines that all approved studies have been completed, any deficiencies in the application have been cured, and no other information is required for substantive review. This notice has several functions. It finds that the application is accepted and ready for substantive review. It starts the 60-day clock for any interested participant to file for formal intervention (see Section 3.2.4(C)). It requires that agencies submit mandatory conditions under FPA sections 4(e) and 18 in preliminary form, and further that all participants submit recommended conditions under FPA section 10. Further, the REA Notice amends the schedule issued with the Tendering Notice.1
