Sec. 25.41  Findings of no significant impact.

    (a) As defined by the CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1508.13), a FONSI is a 
document prepared by a Federal agency stating briefly why an action, not 
otherwise excluded, will not significantly affect the human environment 
and for which, therefore, an EIS will not be prepared. A FONSI includes 
the EA or a summary of it and a reference to any other related 
environmental documents.
    (b) The agency official(s) responsible for approving the FONSI will 
sign the document, thereby establishing that the official(s) approve(s) 
the conclusion not to prepare an EIS for the action under consideration.
