Purpose and Content of the Directory
As a result of the passage of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) in 1969, Federal agencies have been required to prepare
environmental impact statements (EIS) on a wide variety of projects.
public interest in the environment has resulted in frequent inquiries
about the requirements of the Act and the Federal officials respon-
sible for its implementation. While the Council on Environmental Quality
in the Executive Office of the President is responsible for national
management and general agency guidance, environmental impact statement
decisions are often made on a regional or local level. In an attempt
to fill an information void, the Federal Regional Council's Task Force
on Environmental Impact Study has prepared this pamphlet to consoli-
date information on Federal agencies involved in the EIS process.
Specifically, the pamphlet lists, according to agency, the types of
projects for which EIS's are prepared, the officials responsible for
deciding whether or not an EIS will be prepared, and the organizational
unit that prepares the EIS for the agency. The address of each agency
is included as well as corresponding telephone numbers for inquiries
regarding EIS preparation. Also, a cross-index is provided which
categorizes project types and indicates the corresponding agency(ies)
which may sponsor such projects.
EIS Background and History
In general, the National Environmental Policy Act has a threefold
purpose: to declare a national policy which will encourage productive
and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment; to promote
efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment;
to enrich the understanding of ecological systems and natural resources
important to the Nation. As one means of implementing the above
policies, Section I02(2)(c) of NEPA requires each Federal agency to
prepare a statement of environmental impact in advance of each major
action, recommendation or report on legislation that may significantly
affect the quality of the human environment. Environmental impact
statements serve to document the environmental consequences of a pro-
posed action and to build into a Federal agency's decision-making
process a continuing awareness of environmental considerations.
NEPA established within the Executive Office of the President
the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) assigned with the respon-
sibilities to study the condition of the Nation's environment; to
coordinate Federal environmental efforts and programs, and to see
that all Federal activities take environmental considerations into
account. The Council serves in an advisory Capacity to the President
regarding environmental affairs. In addition, CEQ assists other
agencies in determining the applicability of NEPA to agency actions and
in promulgating agency procedures to meet NEPA requirements.
-------
The EIS Process
As early in the decision-making process as practicable, an
agency prepares a draft impact statement for review by appropriate
Federal, State and local agencies as well as the public. After
comment from agencies and other interested parties, the statement is
prepared in fina I form, incorporating all comments and objections
received on the draft and indicating how significant issues raised
during the commenting process have been resolved. Both draft and
final statement are filed with CEQ and made available to the public.
In addition to public and local agency comment, CEQ has designated
which Federal agencies should review environmental impact statements
according to the type of impacts involved. Impact statement reviewers
comment on the environmental impacts of the proposed project with
regard to their particular areas of expertise or jurisdiction by law,
e.g. maintenance of air, water and noise quality standards, effects
on plants and animals, etc.
Besides the NEPA requirements, under Section 309 of the Clean Air
Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must "review and comment
in writing on the environmental impact" of any legislation, action or
regulation proposed by any Federal agency if it affects matters
related to EPA's jurisdiction. EPA has integrated its Section 309
responsibility into the NEPA impact statement review process; reviews
the proposed action with regard to public health, welfare, and environ-
mental quality; and notifys CEQ on a weekly basis of their comments.
CEQ publishes notice of all impact statements received on a weekly
basis and EPA publishes notice of all impact statements reviewed on a
bi-weekly basis in the Federal Register.
CEQ has published guide-lines for preparing impact statements in the
August I, 1973 Federal Register. The CEQ guidelines serve as a prototype
used by each Federal agency to develop its own guidelines to meet
Federal requirements for impact statement preparation and content.
Agency guidelines should include such items as: the types of agency
actions that require EIS's, type of information to be included in the
EIS; the appropriate time and methods of seeking other agency and public
comments, etc. In addition, CEQ guidelines specify that Agencies
include procedures for providing public hearings on major actions with
environmental impact, whenever appropriate, and for providing the public
with relevant information, including alternative courses of action.
Both NEPA and the CEQ guidelines explain what information must be
included in impact statements. Accordingly, each Draft environmental
impact statement must...
a) describe the proposed action with information and
technical data adequate to permit a careful assess-
ment of the total environmental impact.
- 2 -
-------
b) discuss the probable impact on the environment
including any direct or indirect consequences that
may result from the action.
c) include any adverse environmental effects that
cannot be avoided
d) present all alternatives to the proposed action
that might avoid some or a I I of the adverse
environmental effects.
e) assess the cumulative long-term effects of the
proposed action including its relationship to
short-term use of the environment versus the
environment's long-term productivity.
f) discuss any irreversible or irretrievable commit-
ment of resources involved in the proposed action.
A Final EIS must include any substantial changes in the proposed
action besides a discussion of problems and objections raised by
other Federal, State and local agencies, private organizations
ard individuals during the Draft EIS review process.
