This webinar addressed the recently released Planning Bulletin 2018-02: Exemption Procedures for Planning Studies Exceeding Cost and Schedule Limits. As outlined in law and policy, the majority of USACE Planning studies should be completed in 3 years and cost less than $3 million. PB 2018-02, issued on 11 December 2018, clarifies the procedures for requesting an exemption to these cost and schedule limits. Ms. Amy Frantz, HQ Senior Policy Advisor, discussed when exemption requests should be made; how they are processed; who has approval authority; and roles and responsibilities for those involved. Participants also learned about policy changes resulting from WRDA 2018.
