SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Wetland Determination
Automated Data Sheets and
Jurisdictional Determination Forms;
ENG Form 6116 (1–9); OMB Control
Number 0710–0024.
Needs and Uses: In an effort to
address regional wetland characteristics
and improve the accuracy and efficiency
of wetland delineation procedures, the
USACE Research and Development
Center (ERDC) developed ten regional
supplements to the USACE manual, the
most recent of which were issued in
2006. In developing the regional
supplements, the USACE recognized
that a single national manual is unable
to consider regional differences that are
important to the identification and
functioning of wetlands. The wetland
indicators and guidance provided in the
10 regional supplements are designed to
be used in combination with the USACE
manual to identify wetland waters of the
United States. These forms are most
often completed by USACE Project
Managers or environmental consultants,
but may also be completed by
applicants themselves. The Automated
Wetland Determination Sheets (ADSs)
in this collection package streamline the
information collection process by
incorporating reference material and
analytical processes directly into the
form, which is provided as a Microsoft
Excel document rather than the PDF
form included in the regional
supplements. The ADSs also
automatically complete data analysis
using inputted information, saving users
time and effort, and reducing the
likelihood of human error. Applicants
for USACE permits are generally
required to submit JDs as part of their
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
permit application or in support of the
permit evaluation process. If wetlands
are present, the USACE generally
requires that JDs include adequately
documented wetland data sheets in
order for the JD to be considered
technically adequate. The ADSs are
formatted such that they may be readily
converted to Portable Document Format
(PDF) for inclusion as part of the
applicant’s JD report.
Jurisdictional Determination Forms
are tools used by the USACE to help
implement Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA) and Sections 9 and 10
of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
(RHA). JDs specify what geographic
areas will be treated as subject to
regulation by the USACE under one or
both statutes. This information
collection request has previously
included three types of JDs; the
Approved Jurisdictional Determination
(AJD), Dry Land AJD, and Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination (PJD). The
AJD form provides an official
determination that there are/are not
jurisdictional aquatic resources on a
parcel based on the jurisdictional
requirements, while the Dry Land AJD
provides official determination that
jurisdictional aquatic resources are
absent. The PJD form is used to
determine whether aquatic resources
that exist on a particular parcel ‘‘may
be’’ subject to regulatory jurisdiction.
On January 18, 2023, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and
the U.S. Department of the Army
announced a final rule revising the
definition of ‘‘waters of the United
States’’ at 33 CFR 328.3 (‘‘the 2023
Rule’’). The 2023 Rule is scheduled to
become effective on March 20, 2023.
The Corps is proposing to document the
basis for AJDs made pursuant to the
2023 Rule using the ‘‘2023 Rule AJD
Form.’’ This form will be used by Corps
district staff to document the basis for
its AJDs completed pursuant to the 2023
Rule. The 2023 Rule AJD Form provides
a highly efficient and organized process
for collecting and summarizing
jurisdictional basis information.
Specifically, the 2023 Rule AJD Form
will streamline collection of the
jurisdictional basis information using
information response prompts that
allow the Corps Regulatory staff to
document complex information
accurately and fully with minimal effort
from the public.

Program Executive Office Enterprise
Information Systems Climate Survey;
OMB Control Number 0702–0153.
Needs and Uses: The Program
Executive Office Enterprise Information
Systems Climate Survey (PEO EIS)
Climate Survey is seeking feedback from
its civilian, military, and contractor
personnel to assess how they feel about
the organization and their work
environment. The responses will enable
PEO EIS leadership to assess and
determine where changes are required.
PEO EIS will distribute this Climate
Survey using the MilSuite survey
feature, which enables PEO EIS to create
a custom survey for distribution
organization-wide with advanced
survey statistics to capture, review, and
share the responses. Respondents will
access and provide their responses to
the collection instrument online. They
will receive a link via email that takes
them directly to the PEO EIS Climate
Survey in MilSuite. The PEO EIS
Operations Team will review the survey
responses and provide data and
subsequent analysis to PEO EIS
leadership. The results will enable
leadership to communicate areas for
improvement, actions they plan to take
or have been taken, and if the changes
address the area in need of
improvement with its personnel.
Additionally, since the survey is annual,
PEO EIS will be able to review and
analyze data year to year to identify
trends. This climate survey was
previously fielded to only one branch of
PEO EIS, but will be expanded to
include the entire organization.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
