EO 14156 in Arkansas

CESWL-RD

PRINT | E-MAIL

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The purpose of this public notice is to advise the public that the United States (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers, Southwestern Division has established special emergency processing procedures within the state of Arkansas in accordance with 33 CFR § 325.2(e)(4) for the National Energy Emergency established by Executive Order (EO) 14156, which was issued on January 20, 2025 under the  President’s legal authorities, including the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq) and section 301 of title 3, United States code. These special emergency processing procedures have been established pursuant to Section 4 of EO 14156 for activities associated with the identification, siting, production, transportation, refining, and generation of domestic energy sources, including energy infrastructure, that require Department of the Army authorization under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and/or Section 103 of the Marine Research, Protection, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended. For the reasons stated in Section 1 of EO 14156, the President has found that these activities would result in an unacceptable hazard to life, a significant loss of property, or an immediate, unforeseen, and significant economic hardship if corrective action requiring a permit is not undertaken within a time period less than the normal time needed to process the application under standard permitting procedures.

The Little Rock District will follow these special emergency processing procedures outlined in EO 14156 in Arkansas for our Area of Responsibility (AOR), which was coordinated and implemented with Memphis and Vicksburg Districts in Arkansas.

The purpose of this public notice is to announce the establishment of the special emergency processing procedures for the purposes of EO 14156 and provide information to the public about those special emergency processing procedures.

If you have any questions concerning these special emergency processing procedures, please contact the Little Rock District, Regulatory Division, US Army Corps of Engineers at 501-324-5295 or ceswl-reg@usace.army.mil.  If additional information is needed, please contact the appropriate Regulatory District within the State of Arkansas.
