Private Aids to Navigation are aids to navigation established and maintained by anyone other than the U.S. Coast Guard or any other armed service. The federal regulations which mandate compliance are listed in 33 CFR Part 64, Part 66 and Part 67.
The following is a brief outline of how the Seventh CG District Private Aids permitting process works:

and forwards the completed application along with a copy of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers permit (if applicable) and private aid project
information, to the Seventh CG District, Private Aids Section. A 30 day
advance notice required for all projects.
2. CG receives application and performs a thorough permit review and
waterway analysis, to ensure compliance with applicable federal private aid
requirements, uniform aid marking and to ensure waterway safety as a result
of the proposed private aid(s) project.
3. The normal review time is 60-90 days or less (case by case).
CG approves or disapproves permit request and provides owner with a permit
response or correspondence regarding the status of the permit request.
4. Upon receipt of an approved CG-2554, the owner may establish the
private aids as Indicated on the approved permit.
