ABSTRACT

Because individual agencies have internal requirements and nuances, readers are encouraged to consult their agency’s NEPA-speci™c implementing procedures and internal guidance for any requirements that may supplement the regulatory direction provided in the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA regulations. Contractors and license or permit applicants preparing EAs for use by an agency should ™rst thoroughly familiarize themselves with that agency’s NEPA practices. Contractors frequently assume that extensive experience preparing NEPA documents for other agencies translates into adequate knowledge of the practices of an agency they have never supported.
