Defining the 

Term “Waters of 

the United 

States”

The rule will clarify the 

definition of the term “waters of 

the United States” under the 

Clean Water Act (CWA), and 

thus which waters are subject to 

the various provisions of the Act. 

By clarifying which waters and 

wetlands are jurisdictional, the

rule will provide more certainty 

as to which activities require 

Department of Army permits. 

There will also be reduced 

delays for activities affecting 

those categories of waters and 

 2014

The rule will provide greater 

clarity to the regulated public 

regarding which waters are 

jurisdictional. Costs may be 

incurred by the Corps from 

additional workload efforts for 

any needed database changes, 

developing and providing 

training to field staff, and 

outreach to the regulated public 

and consultant community.

Regulations 

Review

In accordance with the E.O., the 

USACE plan solicited comments 

on its Regulations to make the 

Regulatory Program more 

effective and less burdensome. 

The USACE Regulatory 

Program’s regulations are found 

at 33 CFR Parts 320–332 and 

334. The current Regulations 

were published in the Federal 

Register on November 13, 1986 

(51 FR 41206). These 

Regulations describe the 

fundamental procedures, 

policies, authorities, and 

guidelines of the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineer’s Regulatory 

Program. Since the 1986

Regulations were issued, parts of 

these Regulations have been 

modified and these are to be 

incorporated into one codified 

set of Regulations.

Regulatory Review Comment Summary

Mitigation- Increase clarity, 

predictability and 

application of the Mitigation 

Rule which went into effect 

on June 9, 2008. 

The Corps and EPA are undertaking a joint effort to conduct a retrospective review of the 2008 Mitigation Rule to 

provide information on implementation of the rule, and will include some analysis of pre- and post-rule compensatory 

mitigation practices. The retrospective review will also provide summary data on issued permits and required 

compensatory mitigation to characterize compensatory mitigation requirements and practices for Department of the Army 

permits under the rule. There will also be summary statistics and analyses of mitigation banks and in-lieu fee programs 

that have been approved since the rule went into effect. In addition, the retrospective review will provide information on 

various local procedures and tools issued by Corps divisions and districts to assist in implementation of the rule.

Jurisdiction – Clarify which 

waters are jurisdictional 

under the Clean Water Act

The Corps and EPA are currently undertaking rulemaking to clarify the issue, as outlined above in “Defining the Term 

Waters of the United States.”

General Permits – Allow 

GPs to be valid for longer, 

expand/reduce the types of 

activities covered

The Nationwide Permits are reissued every five years, most recently in March 2012. Any changes to the activities 

covered by the Nationwide Permits can be addressed during reissuance in March 2017. In January 2013, the Corps 

revised its regulations to allow for Nationwide Permit verifications to remain valid for the duration the Nationwide Permit 

is valid instead of two years.

Compliance/Enforcement–

Increase the efficiency and 

effectiveness of federal noncompliance/enforcement 

actions. 

On 29 Mar 13, the Corps’ increased the maximum Class I civil penalty for violations under Section 309(g) of the Clean 

Water Act increased from $27,500 to $32,500. The benefit of this rule increased the maximum Class I civil penalty 

amount to account for inflation, in accordance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as 

amended, and maintained the deterrent provided by that Class I civil penalty. In December 2012, the Corps and EPA 

signed a MOA that outlined the steps the agencies would take to improve coordination and information sharing to 

enhance effective CWA Section 404 enforcement. 

Website/Outreach – Improve 

information sharing and 

increase transparency 

through expanded use of 

internet technologies.

Although such improvements do not require rulemaking, the Corps continues to invest in a variety of measures to 

increase transparency and information sharing. 

In FY 2013 the Corps accomplished the following: 

---ORM Permit Decisions website displays, among other things, data on pending and issued Individual Permit reviews by 

USACE, thereby increasing public transparency. 

---Enhancements to the Regulatory In-lieu Fee and Bank Tracking System (RIBITS) that will better allow Federal 

Highways Administration to track State DOT use of commercial mitigation and conservation bank credits as well as 

establishment of DOT single-client banks. The general public can also utilize this information when looking for potential 

mitigation options for a project. 

---Completed Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 compliance updates to the following: 1)Video Library, which 

contains Regulatory Program training modules for the public, 2)the redirect Avatar which displays locations of Corps 

Regulatory offices across the nation to assist the public in finding the appropriate office, and 3) the i-Phone App which 

was designed and built in 2011 to provide easily accessible consolidated and comprehensive Regulatory information to

the public. The app launch is pending final approval.

Ongoing Efforts:

--Enhancements to the ORM2 database are under development to facilitate more expeditious bulk data upload processes 

for large linear projects with multiple separate and distant crossings of waters of the U.S., thereby reducing the time it 

currently takes to enter pertinent information for the many infrastructure projects the Corps currently reviews. 

---Enhancements to the database are under development to better track coordination and outcomes with Tribes as part of 

the Corps’ Tribal Trust Responsibilities and Section 106 of the NHPA requirements.

Compliance with Section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act – Better 

align the Corps’ Appendix C 

with the ACHP’s 36 CFR 

800 regulations.

The ASA(CW), Corps, and ACHP are currently discussing potential opportunities to improve Regulatory Program 

approaches for compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. This effort involves potential considerations for 

developing alternative procedures/rules and or revisions to the Corps regulations. No timeline has yet been developed. 

Deadlines – Add deadlines 

for various aspects of the 

Corps’ review and decisionmaking process.

In February 2013, the Corps revised its Nationwide Permit Program regulations at 33 CFR Part 330 to increase the preconstruction notification review period from 30 days to 45 days, to be consistent with the current nationwide permits. 

The Corps does not have deadlines for other processes but does have target dates. Target dates are used in lieu of 

deadlines since the Corps timeline can be affected by a number of factors outside its control such as the time it takes for 

other agencies to make decisions or for an applicant to provide the required information. The Corps also has OMBapproved performance metrics to ensure reviews and final actions are taken in a timely manner.

PerformanceBased Payments 

(DFARS Case 

2011-D045)

This rule amends the Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (DFARS) to provide 

detailed guidance and 

instructions on the use of the 

Performance Based Payments 

(PBP) Analysis Tool. The PBP

analysis tool is a cash-flow 

model for evaluating alternative 

financing arrangements, and is 

required to be used by all 

contracting officers 

contemplating the use of PBPs 

on new fixed-price type contract 

awards.

4th quarter of 

FY2014

The PBP analysis tool will 

benefit both industry (prime and 

subcontractor level) and the 

taxpayer because the PBP tool 

calculates improved financing

opportunities and helps ensure 

that performance-based 

payments never exceed total cost 

incurred at any point during the 

contract.

Rule is in 

development and 

DoD anticipates 

publication in the 

fourth quarter of 

FY2014.

Defense Support 

of Civilian Law 

Enforcement 

Agencies

This rule provides specific 

policy direction and assigns 

responsibilities with respect to 

DoD support provided to 

Federal, State, and local civilian 

law enforcement agencies, 

including responses to civil 

disturbances. The primary 

restriction on DoD participation 

in civilian law enforcement 

activities is the Posse Comitatus 

Act. In accordance with that Act,

this rule describes in detail the 

assistance that DoD may and 

may not provide civilian law 

enforcement agencies.

13 May 2013

The DoD provides support to 

civilian law enforcement entities 

on either a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis depending on 

the authority under which the 

support is provided. State and 

local civilian law enforcement 

agencies benefit from DoD’s

substantial capabilities. 

Additionally, this rule provides 

details on assistance that DoD 

may not provide to civilian law 

enforcement agencies.

Nationwide 

Permit Program

The Corps revised its 

Nationwide Permit Program 

regulations at 33 CFR Part 330 

to address changes in regulatory 

procedures and policy that have 

occurred since those regulations 

were last revised in 1991. The 

Corps revised the regulation to 

increase the pre-construction 

notification review period to 45 

days, to be consistent with the 

current nationwide permits. The 

Corps also amended the 

regulation to allow district 

engineers to issue verification 

letters that can have the same 

expiration date as the nationwide 

permit. 

27 February

The effort will reduce burdens 

on permitees by clarifying that 

only one NWP verification is 

needed every five years. Also 

provides simplicity and clarity to 

the regulated public.

in more than 1,000 offices worldwide 

recruit the young men and women 

needed as both enlisted airmen and 

commissioned officers to meet the

forms will be linked to the Air Force 

Recruiting System and pre-populated 

from information stored within the 

system. The pre-population of forms 

will reduce the burden on applicants. 

Applicants will no longer have to 

provide information on multiple forms
