Engineer Circular 1105-2-410, Review of Decision Documents dated 22 August 2008, provides all levels of the Corps with formal guidance on how peer review is to be implemented and integrated in the Civil Works program. The circulars will also provide external stakeholders and the general public with a greater understanding of the processes the Corps will use in the future execution of the Civil Works mission. The Review of Decision Documents is set to expire on Sept. 30, 2010, at which time the Corps expects to publish a final engineer regulation that will incorporate the lessons learned while operating under the circular.
Engineer Circular 1105-2-410, Review of Decision Documents, presents a framework for establishing the appropriate level and independence of review for decision documents covered by the circular as decided by the Review Plan, coordinated by the appropriate Center of Expertise and approved by the Major Subordinate Comnmander. The Review of Decision Documents circular provides guidance for the District Quality Control (DQC). The (DQC) is the review of the basic science and engineering work and may be conducted by the home district as long as the personnel are not involved in the study. The Review of Decision Documents circular also provides guidance for when independent external peer review is to be added to the Corps' existing Agency Technical Review (ATR) and legal and policy compliance review processes.
Review of Decision Documents is required for reports, on projects, which requires implementation authorization for Congress.
