Background
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 was enacted by Congress to ensure that federal agencies consider and address environmental impacts resulting from the activities and projects they sponsor. Congress subsequently enacted a series of statutes dealing with specific environmental issues. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) developed its own set of regulations that implement NEPA and the other environmental statutes. All federally-assisted projects are subject to the requirement for environmental review and documentation.
