service is offered to visitors at government expense. This service must be directly and

a. Applicability. Golden Age or Golden Access Passport shall entitle the permittee
and any person accompanying him/her in a single, private, non-commercial vehicle (or
alternately, the permittee and his/her spouse, children, and parents where entry to the area
is by any means other than a private, non-commercial vehicle) to 50 percent reduction of
established use fees. This 50 percent reduction is also applicable to use fees assessed
passport holders who are visitors to registered campers. The reduction does not apply to
group use fees unless all members of a group have such passports.

Appendix P) will be used to record appropriate data and will serve as a record of
accountability for the passports issued. Information recorded on ENG Form 4468-R
should be maintained for one year and then may be discarded. In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, each individual from whom this information is requested, must be
provided a Privacy Act statement, ENG Form 4468A (shown in Appendix P). ENG Form
4840, Golden Age Passport and Golden Access Passport Eligibility Statement (shown in
Appendix P) must be completed for each passport issued if the applicant fails to provide
documentation. The recipient will sign the statement of eligibility, and the issuing official
will complete remaining entries on the form. The recipient should be provided a copy of
this form on request. These forms are available from the USACE Publications Depot.
Completed Eligibility Statements should be kept for one year and then discarded.
