                     TITLE 14--AERONAUTICS AND SPACE
 
   CHAPTER II--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
                         (AVIATION PROCEEDINGS)
 
PART 313_IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENERGY POLICY AND CONSERVATION ACT--Table of 
 
Sec. 313.7  Integration with environmental procedures.

    (a) In proceedings in which an environmental impact statement or a 
finding of no significant impact is prepared by a responsible official 
pursuant to DOT's procedures implementing the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the energy information called for by this 
part may be included in that statement or declaration in order to yield 
a single, comprehensive document. In such instances, the DOT's NEPA 
procedures shall govern the submission of the energy information. 
However, it shall remain the responsibility of the administrative law 
judge or the DOT decisionmaker, as the case may be, to make the findings 
and conclusions required by Sec. 313.6(a) of this part.
    (b) A determination that a major regulatory action within the 
meaning of 42 U.S.C. 6362 and this part may be involved in a proceeding 
is independent from any determination that the proceeding is a ``major 
Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment'' within the meaning of NEPA, and vice versa.
