Military Fee Waiver
The purpose of this memorandum is to confirm the continuation of our current policy to waive day use fees for active service military personnel and their dependants and to waive camping fees for those on mid or post deployment (reintegration) leave to support Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO).

2. We will continue to accept the new America the Beautiful Interagency Annual Pass for Military personnel at Corps managed recreation areas as proof of eligibility for free day use, and when leave orders to support Overseas Contingency Operations are presented, for free camping. Our intent is to recognize the selfless service of members of the U.S. military to our nation and the world.

3. Fee waiver information and details can be found at website http://c orpslakes.usace.army.mil/employees/usefees/waiver.cfm.

4. State, local, and other managing entities of recreation areas located on Corps lands are encouraged, but not required to comply with this waiver of fees in the areas they manage.

5. The point of contact for the recreation use fee program is Mr. Pep Persio, Senior Policy Advisor for Recreation Programs, (202) 761-0036, peppino.j.persio@us.army.mil.
