Red Bull and the FIA have reportedly ironed out an agreement that will settle once and for all the F1 team's cost-cap breach related to its 2021 season.
The two parties were in talks last week in Austin over Red Bull's willingness to sign the FIA's Accepted Breach Agreement that would put the case to rest.
However, the talks were suspended following the passing of Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz.
Red Bull has been charged by F1's governing body with overspending in 2021 beyond its $145 million mandatory limit.

Qualified as 'minor', the breach implies an overspend of maximum $7.5 million, although the amount identified by the governing body during its audit is reported to be estimated at somewhere between $1.5 and $2 million.
Red Bull along with Aston Martin were also found guilty of a procedural breach, a transgression that will likely see both teams pay an administrative fine to the FIA.
Red Bull's consent to sign the FIA's ABA means that it now recognizes its fault and the sanction that shall be levied upon it.
It is believed that an appropriate financial penalty will be handed to the team along with a sporting sanction in the form of a reduction of aerodynamic testing and wind-tunnel hours.
Once the ABA is signed, it permanently closes Red Bull's case and the litigation process.
The FIA is expected to disclose on Friday the details of its ABA with both Red Bull and Aston Martin.
