Driving Factors

Project Deliveries Under Budget
Market Candidates for Acceleration
Projects in Range
Important Considerations
2006 Priorities

8. PRR 565 – Impacts on Other Projects
Conclusion
Resource Capacity Exists to Execute PRR 565 in 2005
Current Priority Does Not Allow for Initiation
Market Projects in the Range are Either in Resource-Constrained Areas or are Large Projects
CBA for PRR 565 Supports Reprioritization Consideration
Moving PRR 565 Above the Line Will Not Push Any Other Projects Below the Line
