The Federal Administrative Court granted leave to appeal for the challenging party, finding the complaint against the lower court's decision well-founded and setting a provisional amount in dispute for the subsequent revision proceedings. The case involves a procedural dispute concerning the interpretation of the term "close connection" (*enger Zusammenhang*) within the framework of an Environmental Impact Assessment review. The court determined that the revision is admissible under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO because the proceedings will contribute to the fundamental clarification of the statutory concept defined in § 3b Abs. 2 Satz 1 and 2 UVPG, with the fee determination based on §§ 47, 52, and 63 GKG.
