Sec. 644.7  Acquisition lines.

    (a) Tentative Acquisition Lines. As indicated in 
Sec. 644.6(c)(1)(iii)(K), tentative acquisition lines are shown on maps 
which are part of the REDM. However, at that time, the lines will, to 
some extent, be irregular and located without full regard to their 
effect upon fringe tracts. It will, therefore, be necessary to establish 
final acquisition lines, in accordance with sound real estate practices. 
Accordingly, fringe tracts will not be acquired until the final 
acquisition lines are approved by the Division Engineer.
    (b) Submission. As soon as possible after authority has been granted 
to acquire the land and/or interest therein, the District Engineer will 
complete appraisals covering the fringe tracts. Thereupon, a map showing 
proposed final acquistion lines will be submitted to the Division 
Engineer, accompanied by justification and reasons therefor. This 
submission may be for an entire project or by segments or units. 
However, if the final map is submitted on a segment or unit basis, each 
segment or unit must be complete in itself and not be dependent on 
another segment or unit not submitted for approval.
    (c) Approval. The Division Engineer is authorized to approve final 
acquisition lines, but shall not delegate this responsibility to 
District Engineers. This authority is subject to the following:
    (1) Except for the addition or deletion of individial ownerships, or 
portions thereof, on the basis of the criteria contained in 
Sec. 644.6(d), approval of any changes in the overall plan will be in 
compliance with ER 1110-2-1150.

    (2) Estates in individual tracts may be changed if consistent with 
the overall plan. Approval, however, will be required from HQDA (DAEN-
REA-P) if the estates are non-standard.
