PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED RULEMAKING: Management Procedures (650-RICR-10-00- 1)

The CRMC proposes to amend its Management Procedures to reduce the application fee for small scale, low cost projects within CRMC's jurisdiction, continue the application fee waiver for nonfederal dredging projects associated with an Army Corps federal navigation maintenance project in the Providence River and Harbor, and to provide for an application fee waiver for coastal hazard resiliency projects as part of Army Corps federal funded projects. In addition, the CRMC proposes changes to correct existing text and citations as summarized below:

1. Amend §1.4.6(A)(5) to provide further clarification that reviews conducted for inland activities (§ 20001.3.3) are considered under all other projects, as per longstanding agency practice, in which the estimated project cost (EPC) is used to determine the appropriate application fee;
2. Add new §1.4.6(A)(5)(a)(1) to provide for new lower application fee of $25 for projects with an EPC less than or equal to $500;
3. Amend §1.4.6(A)(5)(a)(2) to assign the current $50 application fee for projects with an EPC greater $500 and less than or equal to $1000;
4. Amend §1.4.6(A)(22) to provide for the continuation of an application fee waiver for nonfederal dredging projects associated with an Army Corps federal maintenance navigation project in the Providence River and Harbor;
5. Amend §1.4.6(A)(24) to correct a nonRICR compliant regulation citation;
6. Amend §1.4.6(A)(25) to correct a nonRICR compliant regulation citation; and
