Welcome to the NEPA Implementing Procedures resource. Each agency of the Federal
government is required to comply with the CEQ Regulations
for implementing the procedural provisions of the Act, and, in consultation
with CEQ, to develop
their agency specific procedures to ensure that environmental information is
available to the public and the agency decision makers before decisions are made
and actions taken.
This resource is a compendium of Federal agency NEPA procedures. The
procedures are listed alphabetically by the responsible agency. Some agencies issue their
procedures as regulations, others issue them as agency guidance documents.
Those that are codified as regulations appear in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Where appropriate, the CFR and Federal Register
citations providing notice of the agencies NEPA procedures are provided. Please click on the
hyperlinks for additional information and, where available, the full text of the
procedures.
