SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: USACE Request for Section 
408 Permission; OMB Control Number 0710-RSFP.
    Needs and Uses: Pursuant to Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors 
Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 408), USACE is required to regulate alterations 
to, or temporarily or permanently occupation or use of, federally 
authorized Civil Works projects by an entity other than USACE. This is 
accomplished through the review of applications from requestors for 
``Section 408 permission'' to render a decision regarding the proposed 
project.
    The information collected is used to verify, as required by law, 
that the proposed alteration to authorized USACE Civil Works projects 
will not be injurious to the public interest and will not impair the 
usefulness of the project. Respondents are private landowners, 
businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
    USACE will verify any information provided on the collection 
instrument as part of its Section 408 review process. Once USACE has 
collected and/or verified the information required to make a decision 
(completeness determination) on the Section 408 request, USACE will 
complete its decision and provide it to the requester.
    This proposed collection is intended to provide additional 
consistency and predictability for parties seeking to alter a federally 
authorized Civil Works project.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profit; not-for-profit institutions; farms; Federal Government; State; 
local or Tribal government.
