Reissuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits

What the Rule Says It Does

Nationwide Permits (NWPs) authorize activities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 that have no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects. The NWPs help protect the aquatic environment and the public interest by providing incentives to reduce impacts to jurisdictional waters. In this final action, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is reissuing 56 existing nationwide permits (NWPs), general conditions, and definitions, with some modifications. The Corps is also issuing one new NWP.

This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.

The Orders It Names

• Executive Order 14148: Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions
• Executive Order 14151: Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing
• Executive Order 14154: Unleashing American Energy
• Executive Order 14156: Declaring a National Energy Emergency
• Executive Order 14173: Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity

The rule names these orders itself. What it does about them is a reading, and none is recorded here.
