- Usually three to four weeks after batch deadline or earlier.
II. Final Approval Process
After a Staff Review Committee Meeting, TA division registers TA for final fund commitment, provided there is no change in amount and/or scope. If there is any change, TA Division requests for formal approval, with justification for the revision.

OCO examines the request and processes based on the justification for the revised TA.

OCO announces the results of the reprocessing. Once approved, the TA Division registers the TA for final fund commitment.
