LAC Initial Environment Examination (IEE) Tracker
Background
All USAID funded activities require an environmental review
through an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) or a request
for a Categorical Exclusion in accordance with Title 22 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 216, commonly known
as 22
CFR 216, or "Reg 216." An IEE makes a recommendation as
to whether a proposed activity will have a significant impact
on the environment.
The IEEs are prepared in the field by USAID staff or partners and
approved by the field mission and the Regional Environmental Advisor
(REA). They are then forwarded to the Bureau Environmental Officer (BEO)
in Washington and form the basis for the BEO's Environmental Threshold
Decision. IEEs or requests for Categorical Exclusions and subsequent Threshold Decisions are prerequisites for
the obligation of funds.
