ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The US Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE) has issued Engineer 

Circular (EC) 1165–2–220, Policy and 

Procedural Guidance for Processing 

Requests to Alter US Army Corps of 

Engineers Civil Works Projects Pursuant 

to Section 408. This agency policy 

document provides the policies and 

procedures related to how USACE will 

process certain requests by others to 

alter a USACE Civil Works project 

under Section 14 of the Rivers and 

Harbors Act of 1899 (more commonly 

referred to as Section 408). The draft 

version of this EC was made available 

for public comment from February 5, 

2018 to April 6, 2018. USACE reviewed 

and considered all comments received, 

and revised the EC to reflect those 

comments to the maximum extent 

possible. The final EC is available on the 

USACE publications website (http://

www.publications.usace.army.mil/) and 

via hyperlink on the USACE Section 

408 website (http://

beginning September 10, 2018. 

DATES: The EC is applicable beginning 

September 10, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Tammy Conforti at 202–761–4649, 

email HQ-Section408@usace.army.mil, 

or visit http://www.usace.army.mil/ 

Missions/Civil-Works/Section408/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 14 

of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, 

as amended, and codified in 33 U.S.C. 

408 (Section 408) provides that the 

Secretary of the Army may, upon the 

recommendation of the Chief of 

Engineers, grant permission to other 

entities for the permanent or temporary 

alteration or use of any USACE Civil 

Works project. This requires a 

determination by the Secretary that the 

requested alteration will not be 

injurious to the public interest and will 

not impair the usefulness of the USACE 

project. 

The draft version of this EC was made 

available for public comment from 

February 5, 2018 to April 6, 2018 (see 

83 FR 5075). The comments received on 

the draft EC are posted at 

www.regulations.gov in docket number 

COE–2018–0003. 

USACE published Engineer Circular 

(EC) 1165–2–220, Policy and Procedural 

Guidance for Processing Requests to 

Alter US Army Corps of Engineers Civil 

Works Projects Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 

408, to update processes related to how 

USACE will review certain requests by 

others to alter a USACE Civil Works 

project. For example, other entities may 

want to alter a Civil Works project to 

increase recreational opportunities; 

improve flood risk management; or 

construct a road, transmission line, or 

pipeline. The purpose of the Section 

408 review is to ensure that the 

Congressionally-authorized purpose and 

benefits of the Civil Works project are 

protected and maintained (e.g., flood 

risk management, navigation, coastal 

storm damage reduction) and to ensure 

that what is being proposed is not 

injurious to the public interest. An 

effective and efficient review of 

proposed alterations to Civil Works 

projects protects taxpayer investments 

in water resources infrastructure, while 

ensuring compatibility with new 

infrastructure or improvements. 

Process improvements include greater 

delegation of decisions; introduction of 

a multi-phased review option for 

incremental reviews; timelines for 

written notifications; and procedures to 

better align and integrate Section 408 

with certain reviews conducted by 

USACE’s Regulatory Program. Note, the 

Section 408 database described in the 

EC is undergoing testing and will not be 

available for use by USACE until late 

calendar year 2018. 

EC 1165–2–220 expires two years 

from issuance, which provides USACE 

time consider implementation 

experience to identify any necessary 

clarifications or changes. After two 

years, EC 1165–2–220 will either be 

revised, rescinded, or converted to an 

Engineer Regulation, which does not 

expire. Feedback on implementation of 

EC 1165–2–220 may be sent to HQSection408@usace.army.mil. 

Dated: September 5, 2018.

Director of Civil Works.
