Implementing Arrangements describing the specific activities
to be conducted under this Appendix shall be concluded by AIT
and TECRO on an annual basis after consultations have been
completed between AIT and its designated representative,
Reclamation, and TECRO and its designated representative,
MOEA. Each Implementing Arrangement shall be subject to the

provision(s) of an Implementing Arrangement and the Agreement,
