A proposal will be deemed unacceptable if it is inconsistent with C–BTP purposes, as determined by Reclamation.

Any excessive delay resulting from compliance with the provisions of Federal environment laws or administrative review by a Federal agency, pertaining to the project, may extend the five year time period for a period equal to that of the delay. In the event of litigation related to the proposed project, the five year time period will be extended for a period equal to that of the delay, provided such litigation was initiated by parties other than the selected potential lessee or its employees, officers, agents, assigns, shareholders, customers or persons or groups served by or in privity with the potential lessee.
