The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is required to regulate construction related projects in U.S waters, which is accomplished through the review of applications for permits to conduct this work. Information required on Engineer Form 4345 is necessary to evaluate applicants' requests for a Corps permit for certain activities under Section 10 of 33 USC 403, Section 404 of 33 USC 1344, and Section 103 of 33 USC 1413. Engineer Form 6082 is an application form specific to the information needed for nationwide permits (NWPs). The information on the ENG Form 6082 is used to determine whether the proposed activity potentially qualifies for NWP authorization and to provide information needed for the evaluation of the applicantâs proposed project. ENG Form 4345 is used for other forms of DA permits, but ENG Form 6082 was created specifically for nationwide permits and is used when NWP authorization is sought.

Some components are a new collection with a new associated burden. The burden estimates were updated to reflect the incorporation of new forms into the collection and changes in workload affecting the use of the forms in the existing collection. The updated burden estimate also accounts for the incorporation of ENG 6233 from OMB Control Number 0710-0012, as well as the incorporation of ENG 4336, which is currently in violation of the PRA.
The burden for the ENG 4345 has decreased since the previous approval due to recalculation of the number of annual responses based on updated workload estimates.
The burden for ENG 6082 has increased since the previous approval due to recalculation of the number of annual responses based on updated workload estimates.
