The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today announced the launch of the new public notice module on its Regulatory Request System (RRS), an innovative online application portal designed to enhance transparency and improve public engagement.
The RRS public notice module allows users nationwide to identify projects of interest, view public notices and associated documents, and submit comments, all in one convenient platform. Users can easily search for notices by project name or address, organize them by state or district, and view notices in either a table format or on an interactive map. By simplifying access to information and providing a straightforward comment submission process, this tool significantly improves public awareness, accessibility and participation. The new module also streamlines the comment process for projects requiring standard permits. RRS is accessible at https://rrs.usace.army.mil/rrs.
Launched in a beta version in January 2024, RRS is a web-based platform designed to simplify and modernize the permitting process. RRS enables users to submit online permit applications to dredge, fill or conduct activities in jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The addition of the public notice module reflects USACE’s ongoing commitment to enhancing transparency, efficiency and public engagement in the Regulatory Program. Information on the USACE Regulatory Program can be found at https://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Regulatory-Program-and-Permits/. For further details or to provide feedback about the RRS, please contact USACE at rrs@usace.army.mil.
