Recipients are not required to conduct a full cost-benefit analysis; however, they should consider and analyze relevant factors. For example, a recipient may not use funds to pursue a costly dam rehabilitation to provide drinking water to a community if it could provide the same service with a significantly smaller investment by drawing water from another available reservoir, assuming that doing so would meet the other requirements of the final rule. As detailed further below, recipients are only required to assess cost-effectiveness of projects for the creation of new drinking water systems, dam and reservoir rehabilitation projects, or projects for the extension of drinking water service to meet population growth needs.  \nCertain DWSRF eligibilities are already subject to a cost-effectiveness test. Specifically, projects that create new drinking water systems must be a cost-effective solution to addressing the identified problem. The EPA also imposes a cost-effectiveness condition on dam and reservoir rehabilitation projects undertaken pursuant to its class deviation from the DWSRF rule. These projects are particularly expensive and, unlike in the case of other types of eligible projects, there are often available alternatives to conducting these projects. Projects for the extension of drinking water service to meet population growth needs are also often particularly expensive, and there are often different ways to meet the needs of expanding populations. Treasury will accordingly require that recipients engage in a costeffectiveness analysis when engaging in projects for the creation of new drinking water systems, dam and reservoir rehabilitation projects, or projects for the extension of drinking water service to meet population  \nOFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET  \nBrian P. Kemp Kelly Farr  \nGovernor Director  \nWhere to Submit  \nAwarded Projects  \nAwarded projects outlined above that are required to access cost-effectiveness of projects should submit the cost effectiveness plan to [GeorgiaARPA@rsmus.com](GeorgiaARPA@rsmus.com) prior to requesting any reimbursement requests in the portal. This plan will undergo a review and approval process before reimbursement requests for allowable expenses can occur.  \nApplications  \nApplicants with projects outlined above that are required to access cost-effectiveness of projects should submit the cost effectiveness plan within their application to determine eligibility.
