Submission Deadlines

Project materials submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission–unless they are deemed to be security sensitive–are considered public documents. As such, they will be made available to the public for review at NCPC's offices and on the NCPC website.

The Commission typically meets on the first Thursday of each month. Please note that there are no Commission meetings in August. Submission deadlines for most projects fall approximately 35 days before Commission meetings. Some projects need 90 days for review. These include:

Master plans;
Projects not on an approved master plan and requiring referral to state or local authorities;
Technically complex proposals; and
Projects requiring additional time to gather public input.
