Benchmark: CITAP Program: Streamlining Federal Authorizations for Electric Transmission

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Coordination of Federal Authorizations for Electric Transmission Facilities (10 CFR Part 900). In 10 quick questions, you’ll gauge how well you grasp the rule’s intent, who it affects, and the operational trade-offs it introduces—before investing time in the full training. You’ll see whether you can: connect the CITAP Program to the real bottlenecks it’s meant to fix; anticipate how DOE’s single, coordinated environmental review changes agency workflows and developer planning; weigh transparency against confidentiality in the consolidated docket; recognize how early, meaningful engagement with Tribes and communities shapes durable routes; and judge when a project should seek qualification and how to build a realistic, binding schedule.

What you’ll get from this benchmark:
– A snapshot of your readiness: Are you prepared to use the IIP Process to front-load information, manage risk, and keep schedules on track?
– A sense of the trade-offs: Can you balance speed with rigor, coordination with agency roles, and transparency with protection of CEII and cultural resources?
– A map of your gaps: Which topics—qualifying criteria, resource reports, NEPA leadership, timelines, or appeals—need focused study?

If these prompts feel challenging or raise “it depends” questions, the course will translate the final rule into concrete steps, templates, and coordination practices you can apply immediately to reduce rework, avoid delays, and strengthen defensibility of decisions.
