ARMY ENGINEERS EXTEND COMMENT PERIOD ON PERMIT REGULATION

The 90 day comment period on the Corps of Engineers' expanded

authority to regulate the discharge of dredged or fill material in "the

waters of the United States including the territorial seas" has been

extended to 5 December 1975, the Corps announced today.
Significant comments continue to be received on the interim final
regulation which was published in the Federal Register 25 July 1975.

The Corps of Engineers has conducted four major regional public hearings in

September and many local public information meetings since then on the

regulation.

On 5 September, the Administrator of the.Environmental Protection Agency

published guidelines for evaluating permit applications for disposal of

dredged or fill material. The 90 day comment period on the ErA guidelines

also ends on 5 December.

The Corps of Engineers extended the comment period on its regulation

because many comments on the EPA guidelines also relate to the Corps'

regulation and additional direct comments on the latter are expected as

information meetings continue through November.
