Act of 2014, signed into law June 10, 2014, granted the Secretary of the Army
authority to participate fully in the America the Beautiful Interagency Pass
Program.

discount on campsites at USACE-managed campgrounds.

American the Beautiful passes visit http://store.usgs.gov/pass/annual.html

The Interagency Pass Program
allows federal agencies to retain and reinvest revenues collected from pass
sales at the project level. The USACE plans to reinvest its revenues at the
projects where the fees are collected.
