SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Recreation Special Use
Permits; OMB Control Number 0710-RSUP.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) must
collect information to administer its Recreation Special Use Permit
program across Civil Works water resource projects. This program
derives its primary authority from Section 210 of the Flood Control Act
of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 460d-3) and Section 1047(a) of the Water Resource
Reform and Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2328a(a)), which
authorize USACE to establish and collect fees for specialized
recreational uses. Administrative and implementation guidance for this
program is established under USACE Engineer Regulation and Pamphlet
1130-2-555. Under these authorities, individuals, organizations, or
businesses seeking specialized, non-standard, or short-term
recreational use of USACE fee-owned lands and waters must submit a
permit application. To begin the process, applicants obtain a fillable
PDF application form directly from the USACE website or request it via
email or regular mail. The applicant completes the form, detailing the
logistics, dates, and nature of the proposed activity, and submits it
to the local USACE Project office.
USACE reviews the submitted details to evaluate safety,
environmental impacts, and potential conflicts with standard public
recreation. Approved requests are categorized as either a ``special
activity'' or a ``special event,'' triggering distinct administrative
pathways. For approved special activities, USACE generates an
electronic Special Activity Permit and provides the signed PDF back to
the applicant, who must maintain a physical or digital copy of the
permit while onsite. For approved special events, USACE drafts a more
comprehensive Special Event Permit outlining specific terms,
conditions, and associated costs. The applicant must sign this permit
and submit payment in advance of the event. Once the signed permit and
advance payment are received, a USACE staff member signs the permit
electronically to grant final authorization and provides a completed
copy to the applicant.

for-profit; Not-for-profit Institution.
