§ 51.25 Determination to prepare environmental impact statement or environmental
assessment; eligibility for categorical exclusion.
Before taking a proposed action subject to the provisions of this subpart,
the appropriate NRC staff director will determine on the basis of the
criteria and classifications of types of actions in §§ 51.20, 51.21 and
51.22 of this subpart whether the proposed action is of the type listed
in § 51.22(c) as a categorical exclusion or whether an environmental impact
statement or an environmental assessment should be prepared. An environmental
assessment is not necessary if it is determined that an environmental
impact statement will be prepared.
