(1) Total cost of the project;
(2) Total benefits available to eligible users upon completion of the project; and
(3) Reliability of the data and information used to decide benefits relative to costs.
(b) You must support the benefits available to eligible users by clearly describing them in the project statement and explaining how they relate to Need at § 86.43(a).

(1) The need for specialized materials to meet local codes, address weather or terrain, or extend useful life;
