A: INITIAL PROFFERED PERMIT: You may accept or object to the permit
• ACCEPT: If you received a Standard Permit, you may sign the permit document and return it to the district
engineer for final authorization. If you received a Letter of Permission (LOP), you may accept the LOP and
your work is authorized. Your signature on the Standard Permit or acceptance of the LOP means that you
accept the permit in its entirety, and waive all rights to appeal the permit, including its terms and
conditions, and approved jurisdictional determinations associated with the permit.
• OBJECT: If you object to the permit (Standard or LOP) because of certain terms and conditions therein,
you may request that the permit be modified accordingly. You must complete Section II of this form and
return the form to the district engineer. Upon receipt of your letter, the district engineer will evaluate your
objections and may: (a) modify the permit to address all of your concerns, (b) modify the permit to address
some of your objections, or (c) not modify the permit having determined that the permit should be issued
as previously written. After evaluating your objections, the district engineer will send you a proffered
permit for your reconsideration, as indicated in Section B below.
B: PROFFERED PERMIT: You may accept or appeal the permit
• ACCEPT: If you received a Standard Permit, you may sign the permit document and return it to the district
engineer for final authorization. If you received a Letter of Permission (LOP), you may accept the LOP and

accept the permit in its entirety, and waive all rights to appeal the permit, including its terms and
conditions, and approved jurisdictional determinations associated with the permit.
• APPEAL: If you choose to decline the proffered permit (Standard or LOP) because of certain terms and
conditions therein, you may appeal the declined permit under the Corps of Engineers Administrative
Appeal Process by completing Section II of this form and sending the form to the division engineer. This
form must be received by the division engineer within 60 days of the date of this notice.
C. PERMIT DENIAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE: Not appealable
You received a permit denial without prejudice because a required Federal, state, and/or local authorization
and/or certification has been denied for activities which also require a Department of the Army permit before
final action has been taken on the Army permit application. The permit denial without prejudice is not
appealable. There is no prejudice to the right of the applicant to reinstate processing of the Army permit
application if subsequent approval is received from the appropriate Federal, state, and/or local agency on a
previously denied authorization and/or certification.
D: PERMIT DENIAL WITH PREJUDICE: You may appeal the permit denial
You may appeal the denial of a permit under the Corps of Engineers Administrative Appeal Process by
completing Section II of this form and sending the form to the division engineer. This form must be received
by the division engineer within 60 days of the date of this notice.

E: APPROVED JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION: You may accept or appeal the approved JD or provide
new information for reconsideration

within 60 days of the date of this notice means that you accept the approved JD in its entirety and waive all
rights to appeal the approved JD.
• APPEAL: If you disagree with the approved JD, you may appeal the approved JD under the Corps of
Engineers Administrative Appeal Process by completing Section II of this form and sending the form to the
division engineer. This form must be received by the division engineer within 60 days of the date of this
notice.
• RECONSIDERATION: You may request that the district engineer reconsider the approved JD by
submitting new information or data to the district engineer within 60 days of the date of this notice. The
district will determine whether the information submitted qualifies as new information or data that justifies
reconsideration of the approved JD. A reconsideration request does not initiate the appeal process. You
may submit a request for appeal to the division engineer to preserve your appeal rights while the district is
determining whether the submitted information qualifies for a reconsideration.
F: PRELIMINARY JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION: Not appealable
You do not need to respond to the Corps regarding the preliminary JD. The Preliminary JD is not appealable.
If you wish, you may request an approved JD (which may be appealed), by contacting the Corps district for
further instruction. Also, you may provide new information for further consideration by the Corps to reevaluate
the JD.
