(A) a certification that the Administrator, without delegation, authorizes such proposed change; and
(B) a cost-benefit and risk analysis of such proposed change, including with respect to— (i) the effects of such proposed change on the project cost and schedule; and (ii) any mission risks and operational risks from making such change or not making such change; and
