Sec.  263.19  Detailed project reports.



    (a) The Detailed Project Report serves a dual purpose: the report 

serves both as basis for approval of a project for construction by the 

Chief of Engineers and it serves as a basis for preparation of plans and 

specifications. (See exception for emergencies, Sec.  263.17(b)(3)). The 

main report should reflect the plan formulation, generally in accordance 

with ER 1105-2-402 and ER 1105-2-403. A Design Appendix will be provided 

as appropriate, for more detailed information on the development of the 

plan, or elements of the selected plan, recommended for implementation 

as a Federal project by the Corps of Engineers. The Design Appendix of 

the report will generally meet the requirements of ER 1110-2-1150, as it 

pertains to Phase II AE&D studies for projects specifically authorized 

by Congress, except that it need not duplicate material on plan 

formulation covered in the main report. Other appendixes should be 

included as required.

    (b) It is anticipated that DPR's submitted for projects under 

Section 208 Authority will be less extensive than reports submitted 

under Sections 205, 107, 103 and 111 Authorities, and that DPR's 

submitted for projects under Section 14 Authority will be further 

abbreviated due to simplicity of the project. The important point is 

that the planning process should be generally considered the same for 

studies conducted under all Program authorities; the plan formulation 

portion of the DPR should reflect this process and the rationale for 

arriving at the selected plan and recommendations for Federal 

participation.

    (c) The level of detail and extent of engineering work reflected in 

the Design Appendix must be sufficient to proceed directly to plans and 

specifications. In the event that the need arrises for feature design 

memoranda on selected aspects of the project, such requirements should 

be identified in the letter of transmittal accompanying the DPR when 

submitted to OCE.
