Summary of Recreation Fee Discount Passes ALERT - IMPORTANT NOTICEChanges in Age and Disability Discount Passes for Recreation FeesThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies will no longer issue Golden Age and Golden Access Passports as of January 1, 2007. With the passage by Congress of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2004, Public Law 108-447, these passports have been replaced with the new America the Beautiful – the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass: an Interagency Senior Pass for age-related discounts and an Interagency Access Pass for disability-related discounts. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was not included in the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, which created the new America the Beautiful – the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass program authority. Although the Corps will not sell or issue the new passes, we will accept only the new Interagency Senior and Interagency Access Passes or previously issued Golden Age or Access Passports as proof of eligibility for age- and disability-related discounts. If a previously issued Golden Age or Access Passports is lost, stolen, or worn out, contact one of the agencies listed below. The only agencies authorized to issue the new Interagency Senior and Interagency Access Passes are the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Bureau of Reclamation. The new Interagency Senior and Interagency Access Passes can be obtained in person at any of the issuing agencies. The Corps strongly suggests that you call ahead to verify pass availability and office hours before visiting an agency location. National Park Service
