The Recreation And Permit Tracking Online Reporting (RAPTOR) system currently supports applications for three modules:

• Paleontology Permitting
• Science Authorizations
• 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.
