## Extract
This Federal Register action is the **current reissuance and modification of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permits (NWPs)** — the general permits that authorize categories of activities "under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (RHA)" that have minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects (GovInfo teaser, FR-2026-01-08/2026-00121). It supersedes the prior reissuances published at FR-2021-01-13 (RIN 0710-AA84) and FR-2021-12-27 (RIN 0710-AB29). The NWP program is codified at 33 C.F.R. Part 330 (Purpose and policy, § 330.1; Conditions, limitations, and restrictions, § 330.4).
## Notes
- **Tier 2** — primary public record (Federal Register rulemaking). It establishes the **federal regulatory framework** under which the Project Leo (AVAIO) wetland/stream package is authorized: the corpus's extracted USACE binaries record approximately 13,461 linear feet / 3.44 acres of jurisdictional relatively-permanent-waters (RPW) stream impacts in the Fish Creek watershed, the kind of impact a Nationwide Permit (rather than an individual § 404 permit) typically authorizes. This FR document does **not** name Project Leo, AVAIO, or any Arkansas site; it is the general permit framework, not a site-specific verification.
- **Open gap**: the site-specific USACE NWP verification letter(s) for Project Leo (the Little Rock District action authorizing the Fish Creek impacts) are not published in GovInfo/Federal Register; they would be obtained from the USACE Little Rock District (FOIA) or the developer's permit file. The Project Leo cooling-water source likewise remains unnamed in the federal package (see [[Identifying the Unnamed Cooling-Water Data Centers]]).
