Regulations For Private Institution Applying To Participate In The Infrastructure Project Under Its Own Planning Article 16

The competent authority shall, within one year, finish evaluating the application filed by a private institution for participating in the infrastructure project under its own planning. If necessary, the evaluation period may be extended once for a period not exceeding six months; special circumstances may be exempt from this restriction.The evaluation period referred to in the preceding paragraph shall start on the day after the competent authority declares the policy announcement to the day the written notice of the evaluation outcome is given to the applicant. However, where a private institution submits a project outline before the competent authority's policy announcement is made, the evaluation period shall start from the day after the project outline is served on the competent authority.The period referred to in the preceding paragraph does not include the periods given to applicants for submitting omitted information or documents or making corrections or clarifications, or the periods in which private institutions are invited to submit feasibility assessment reports or investment proposals.The special circumstances referred to in Paragraph 1 shall be determined by the authority in charge, which is forbidden to delegate its subordinate entities or to commission other entities (institutions) to conduct such determination.
