General Guidance:
Proposals are grouped by application type and organized in a sortable table. The tables are updated on a regular basis as new applications are deemed complete and move through the leasing process.
Selecting linked content within a row will open the respective documents or notices. If there is no document or other materials associated with the processing milestone, then no link is included. The documents can be downloaded as PDF files. PDF files may require Adobe Reader software (download here free) to view or print.
Unless otherwise indicated, files are less than 20 megabytes (20 MB) in size. Some are very large and may take several minutes to download.
Follow these links to jump to each type of pending application:
