The Recreation And Permit Tracking Online Reporting (RAPTOR) system currently supports applications for three modules:
- Scientific Research Authorizations
- Paleontology Permitting
- Special Recreation
The RAPTOR system is designed to help external users navigate the process for obtaining a permit, as well as provide for consistency in internal BLM processes. For those programs that require reporting, the system also provides for the submission of reports.
