order to determine whether the plan, program, project or ac vity aects an ancestral domain, the
applicant shall shoulder the agreed cost of the FBI, the amount of which shall be determined during
the Pre-FBI Conference.
(ii) If an overlap is noted based on the approved Masterlist of Ancestral Domain Areas, and the proposed
