This is all about the phases of BAPE. If it was just a matter of submitting the paperwork and getting approval from one source it would be done rather quickly, however once the new plan is submitted (which will not occur until the DFS is complete) They will need approvals from various different government entities. There is also a public facing time where the public has 3 months or so to review and raise questions, then another review, all of these steps take time to complete.

I think Brett was fairly forceful when he said "There are no barriers to stop us from approval".

I have said this many times and believe it fully. We would have NEVER EVER been awarded NAL if IQ had even a remote thought that BAPE would fail. This process is all about making sure things are done and filed correctly and transparently, so I do not have a worry in the world about this going through.
