Welcome to the NEPA Implementing Procedures resource. Each agency of the Federal government is required to comply with the CEQ Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the Act, and, in consultation with CEQ, to develop their agency specific procedures to ensure that environmental information is available to the public and the agency decision makers before decisions are made and actions taken.
This resource is a compendium of Federal agency NEPA procedures. The procedures are listed alphabetically by the responsible agency. Some agencies issue their procedures as regulations, others issue them as agency guidance documents. Those that are codified as regulations appear in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Where appropriate, the CFR and Federal Register citations providing notice of the agencies NEPA procedures are provided. Please click on the hyperlinks for additional information and, where available, the full text of the procedures.
