The Secretary shall establish, for covered leases, a standardized fee schedule for administrative fees assessed to operators of covered marinas, applicable to all Corps of Engineers districts, that specifies under what circumstances and at what time such a fee is to be assessed.
The Secretary may assess, for a covered lease— an administrative fee of not more than $50,000 to the operator of a covered marina only for— activities involving land disturbances that require a major review effort, coordination and concurrence with State agencies, other Federal agencies, or Tribal governments, and review and approval at the headquarters level of the Corps of Engineers; and activities relating to lease area expansions of 100 acres or more; an administrative fee of not more than $5,000 to the operator of a covered marina only for activities (not involving land disturbances) that require a moderate review effort, which may involve coordination and concurrence with State agencies, other Federal agencies, or Tribal governments; and an administrative fee of not more than $1,000 to the operator of a covered marina for any other activities.
