   Subpart B_General Policy: Responsibilities of Responsible Entities
 
Sec. 58.14  Interaction with State, Federal and non-Federal entities.

    A responsible entity shall consult with appropriate environmental 
agencies, State, Federal and non-Federal entities and the public in the 
preparation of an EIS, EA or other environmental reviews undertaken 
under the related laws and authorities cited in Sec. 58.5 and Sec. 
58.6. The responsible entity must also cooperate with other agencies to 
reduce duplication between NEPA and comparable environmental review 
requirements of the State (see 40 CFR 1506.2 (b) and (c)). The 
responsible entity must prepare its EAs and EISs so that they comply 
with the environmental review requirements of both Federal and State 
laws unless otherwise specified or provided by law. State, Federal and 
local agencies may participate or act in a joint lead or cooperating 
agency capacity in the preparation of joint EISs or joint environmental 
assessments (see 40 CFR 1501.5(b) and 1501.6). A single EIS or EA may be 
prepared and adopted by multiple users to the extent that the review 
addresses the relevant environmental issues and there is a written 
agreement between the cooperating

agencies which sets forth the coordinated and overall responsibilities.
