PASPGP Clause Samples
PASPGP i. Non-reporting applications may receive Federal authorization via PASPGP (or subsequent iterations of PASPGP) without direct Corps review. The Federal authorization for such projects may be attached by PADEP or a delegated County Conservation District to the Chapter 105 authorization. In accordance with PASPGP, the Corps may request Non-reporting applications be reported to the Corps for separate review as Reporting applications. Work may be determined to be ineligible for PASPGP based on thresholds or agency comments. The Corps shall notify PENNDOT when a project is elevated.
ii. Reporting applications require Corps review. The date of application for Reporting projects or PASPGP eligible projects shall be the first business day after eFacts posting from the Keystone Environmental E-permitting System (KEES) or the date that a hard copy is received by the Corps. Any requests for additional information shall be dated within 15 days of the date of application. The Corps goal is to make a decision on greater than 80% of such authorizations within 60 calendar days of receipt of a complete application. The Corps has 15 days to conduct a completeness review. In cases where review is delayed due to agency coordination concerns (e.g. Section 106, ESA, etc.), the Corps will consider an application incomplete for decision- making until issues are resolved. Corps verifications of PASPGP may be issued in several ways. The Corps may advise PADEP to issue a PASPGP verification with the Chapter 105 authorization (through a letter, email, or KEES comments). The Corps may issue a letter to PENNDOT, usually in cases where special conditions are applied.
