ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
STATEMENTS ON PROPOSED FEDERAL
ACTIONS AFFECTING THE EN-
VIRONMENT
Guidelines
1. Purpose. This memorandum pro-
vides guidelines to Federal departments,
agencies, and establishments for pre-
paring detailed environmental state-
ments on proposals for legislation and
other major Federal actions significantly
affecting the quality of the human en-
vironment as required by section 102(2)
(C) of the National Environmental Pol-
icy Act (Public Law 91-190) (hereafter
"the Act"). Underlying the preparation
of such environmental statements is the
mandate of both the Act and Executive
Order 11514 (35 F.R. 4247) of March 4,
1970, that all Federal agencies, to the
fullest extent possible, direct their poli-
cies, plans and programs so as to meet
national environmental goals. The ob-
jective of section 102(2) (C) of the Act
and of these guidelines is to build into
the agency decision making process an
appropriate and careful consideration of
the environmental aspects of proposed
action and to assist agencies in imple-
menting not only the letter, but the
spirit, of the Act. This memorandum also
provides guidance on implementation of
section 309 of the Clean Air Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 1857 et seq.).
2. Policy. As early as possible and in
all cases prior to agency decision con-
cerning major action or recommendation
or a favorable report on legislation that
significantly affects the environment,
Federal agencies will, in consultation
with other appropriate Federal, State,
and local agencies, assess in detail the
potential environmental impact in order
that adverse effects are avoided, and
environmental quality is restored or en-
hanced, to the fullest extent practicable.
In particular, alternative actions that
will minimize adverse impact should be
explored and both the long- and short-
range implications to man, his physical
and social surroundings, and to nature,
should be evaluated in order to avoid
to the fullest extent practicable undesir-
able consequences for the environment.
3. Agency and OMB procedures.. (a)
Pursuant to section 2(f) of Executive
(2) (C) and the agency review process
or w is environmental statements are
to vai a e (2) o ainmg m orma-
ion required in their preparation, (3)
designating the officials who are to be
responsible for the statements, (4) con-
sulting with and taking account of the
comments of appropriate Federal, State,
and local agencies, including obtaining
the comment of the Administrator
of the Environmental Protection Agency,
whether or not an environmental state-
ment is prepared, when required under
section 309 of the Clean Air Act, as
amended, and section 8 of these guide-
lines, and (5) meeting the requirements
of section 2(b) of Executive Order 11514
for providing timely public information
on Federal plans and programs with en-
vironmental impact including procedures
responsive to section 10 of these guide-
lines. These procedures should be con-
sonant with the guidelines contained
herein. Each agency should file seven
(7) copies of all such procedures with
the Council on Environmental Quality,
which will provide advice to agencies in
the preparation of their procedures and
guidance on the application and inter-
pretation of the Council's guidelines. The
Environmental Protection Agency will
assist in resolving any question relating
to section 309 of the Clean Air Act, as
amended.
(b) Each Federal agency should con-
sult, with the assistance of the Council
on Environmental Quality and the Of-
fice of Management and Budget if de-
sired, with other appropriate Federal
agencies in the development of the
above procedures so as to achieve con-
sistency in dealing with similar activi-
ties and to assure effective coordination
among agencies in their review of pro-
posed activities.
(c) State and local review of agency
procedures, regulations, and policies for
the administration of Federal programs
of assistance to State and local govern-
ments will be conducted pursuant to
procedures established by the Office of
Management and Budget Circular No.
A-85. For agency procedures subject to
OMB Circular No. A-85 a 30-day exten-
sion in the July 1, 1971, deadline set in
section 3(a) is granted.
(d) It is imperative that existing
mechanisms for obtaining the views of
Federal, State, and local agencies on
proposed Federal actions be utilized to
the extent practicable in dealing with
tent possible" in section 102(2) (C) is
meant to make clear that each agency of
the Federal Government shall comply
with the requirement unless existing law
applicable to the agency's operations
expressly prohibits or makes compliance
impossible. (Section 105 of the Act pro-
vides that "The policies and goals set
forth in this Act are supplementary to
those set forth in existing authorizations
of Federal agencies.")
5. Actions included. The following cri-
teria will be employed by agencies in de-
ciding whether a proposed action requires
the preparation. of an environmental
statement :
(a) "Actions" include but are not lim-
ited to :
(i) Recommendations or favorable re-
ports relating to legislation including
that for appropriations. The require-
ment for following the section 102(2) (C)
procedure as elaborated in these guide-
lines applies to both (i) agency recom-
mendations on their own proposals for
legislation and (ii) agency reports on
legislation initiated elsewhere. (In the
latter case only the agency which has
primary responsibility for the subject
matter involved will prepare an environ-
mental statement.) The Office of Man-
agement and Budget will supplement
these general guidelines with specific in-
structions relating to the way in which
the section 102(2) (C) procedure fits into
its legislative clearance process;
(ii) Projects and continuing activities:
directly undertaken by Federal agencies;
supported in whole or in part through
Federal contracts, grants, subsidies,
loans, or other forms of funding assist-
ance; involving a Federal lease, permit,
license, certificate or other entitlement
for use;
(iii) Policy, regulations, and proce-
dure-making.
(b) The statutory clause "major Fed-
eral actions significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment" is
to be construed by agencies with a view
to the overall, cumulative impact of the
action proposed (and of further actions
contemplated). Such actions may be lo-
calized in their impact, but if there is
potential that the environment may be
significantly affected, the statement is to
be prepared. Proposed actions, the en-
vironmental impact of which is likely to
be highly controversial, should be cov-
ered in all cases. In considering what
constitutes major action significantly af-
fecting the environment, agencies should
bear in mind that the effect of many
Federal decisions about a project or com-
plex of projects can be individually lim-
ited but cumulatively considerable. This
can occur when one or more agencies
over a period. of years puts into a project
individually minor but collectively major
resources, when one decision involving
a limited amount of money is a prece-
dent for action in much larger cases or
represents a decision in principle about
a future major course of action, or when
several Government agencies individual-
ly make decisions about partial aspects
of a major action. The lead agency

should prepare an environmental state-
ment if it is reasonable to anticipate a
cumulatively significant impact on the
environment from Federal action. "Lead
agency" refers to the Federal agency
which has primary authority for com-
mitting the Federal Government to a
course of action with significant envi-
ronmental impact. As necessary, the
Council on Environmental Quality will
assist in resolving questions of lead
agency determination.
(c) Section 101(b) of the Act indicates
the broad range of aspects of the en-
vironment to be surveyed in any assess-
ment of significant effect. The Act also
indicates that adverse significant effects
include those that degrade the quality
of the environment, curtail the range of
beneficial uses of the environment, and
serve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals. Signifi-
cant effects can also include actions
which may have both beneficial and
detrimental effects, even if, on balance,
the agency believes that the effect will
be beneficial. Significant adverse effects
on the quality of the human environ-
ment include both those that directly
affect human beings and those that in-
directly affect human beings through
adverse effects on the environment.
(d) Because of the Act's legislative
history, environmental protective regu-
latory activities concurred in or taken
by the Environmental Protection Agency
are not deemed actions which require
the preparation of environmental state-
ments under section 102(2) (C) of the
Act.
6. Content of environmental state-
ment. (a) The following points are to
be covered:
(i) A description he proposed
action ~mcludln information and to -
nica_ data adequa e o perm' are
assessment o environme t
_ om encies. Where relevant,
maps should be provided.
(ii) The probable impact of the pro-
posed action on the environment, includ-
ing impact on ecological systems such as
wildlife, fish, and marine life. Both pri-
mary and secondary significant conse-
quences for the environment should be
included in the analysis. For example,
the implications, if any, of the action
for population distribution or concentra-
tion should be estimated and an assess-
ment made of,the effect of any possible
change in population patterns upon the
resource base, including land use, water,
and public services, of the area in
question.
(iii) Any probable adverse environ-
mental effects which cannot be avoided
(such as water or air pollution, undesir-
able land use patterns, damage to life
systems, urban congestion, threats to
health or other consequences adverse
to the environmental goals set out in
section 101(b) of the Act).
(iv) Alternatives to the proposed
action (section 102(2) (D) of the Act
requires the responsible agency to
"study, develop, and describe appropri-
ate alternatives to recommended courses
of action in any proposal which involves
unresolved conflicts concerning alterna-
tive uses of available resources"). A rig-
orous exploration and objective evalua-
tion of alternative actions that might
avoid some or all of the adverse environ-
mental effects is essential. Sufficient
analysis of such alternatives and their
costs and impact on the environment
should accompany the proposed action
through the agency review process in
order not to foreclose prematurely op-
tions which might have less detrimental
effects.
(v) The relationship between local
short-term uses of man's environment
and the maintenance and enhancement
of long-term productivity. This in es-
sence requires the agency to assess the
action for cumulative and long-term
effects from the perspective that each
generation is trustee of the environment
for succeeding generations.
(vi) Any irreversible and irretrievable
commitments of resources which would
be involved in the proposed action should
it be implemented. This requires the
agency to identify the extent to which
the action curtails the range of benefi-
cial uses of the environment.
(vii) Where appropriate, a discussion
of problems and objections raised by
other Federal, State, and local agencies
and by private organizations and indi-
viduals in the review process and the
disposition of the issues involved. (This
section may be added at the end of the
review process in the final text of the
environmental statement.)
(b) With respect to water quality as-
fects of the proposed action which have
been previously certified by the appro-
priate State or interstate organization as
being in substantial compliance with ap-
plicable water quality standards, the
comment of the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency should also be requested.
(c) Each environmental statement
should be prepared in accordance with
the precept in section 102(2) (A) of the
Act that all agencies of the Federal Gov-
ernment "utilize a systematic, interdis-
ciplinary approach which will insure the
integrated use of the natural and social
sciences and the environmental design
arts in planning and decisionmaking
which may have an impact on man's
environment."
(d) Where an agency follows a prac-
tice of declining to favor an alternative
until public hearings have been held on
a proposed action, a draft environmental
statement may be prepared and circu-
lated indicating that two or more alter-
natives are under consideration.
(e) Appendix 1 prescribes the form of
the summary sheet which should accom-
pany each draft and final environmental
statement.
7. Federal agencies to be consulted in
connection with preparation of environ-
mental statement. A Federal agency
considering an action requiring an en-
vironmental statement, on the basis of
(i) a draft environmental statement for
which it takes responsibility or (ii) com-
parable information followed by a hear-
ing subject to the provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act, should
consult with, and obtain the comment on
the environmental impact of the action
of, Federal agencies with jurisdiction by
law or special expertise with respect to
any environmental impact involved.
These Federal agencies include com-
ponents of (depending on the aspect or
aspects of the environment) :
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
Department of Agriculture.
Department of Commerce:
Department of Defense.
Department of Health, Education, and Wel-
fare.
Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment.
Department of the Interior.
Department of State.
Department of Transportation.
Atomic Energy Commission.
Federal Power Commission.
Environmental Protection Agency.
Office of Economic Opportunity.
For actions specifically affecting the en-
vironment of their geographic jurisdic-
tions, the following Federal and Federal-
State agencies are also to be consulted:
Tennessee Valley Authority.
Appalachian Regional Commission.
National Capital Planning Commission.
Delaware River Basin Commission.
Susquehanna River Basin Commission.
Agencies seeking comment should de-
termine which one or more of the above
listed agencies are appropriate to consult
on the basis of the areas of expertise
identified in Appendix 2 to these guide-
lines. It is recommended (i) that the
above listed departments and agencies
establish contact points, which often are
most appropriately regional offices, for
providing comments on the environ-
mental statements and (ii) that depart-
ments from which comment is solicited
coordinate and consolidate the comments
of their component entities. The re-
quirement in section 102(2) (C) to ob-
tain comment from Federal agencies hav-
ing jurisdiction or special expertise is in
addition to any specific statutory obliga-
tion of any Federal agency to coordinate
or consult with any other Federal or
State agency. Agencies seeking comment
may establish ? time limits of not less
than thirty (30) days for reply, after
which it may be presumed, unless the
agency consulted requests a specified ex-
tension of time, that the agency con-
sulted has' no comment to make. Agen-
cies seeking comment should endeavor
to comply with requests for extensions
of time of up to fifteen (15) days.

entation of section 309 of the Clean Air
Act, as amended. (a) Section 309 of the
Clean Air Act, as amended, provides:

on the environment even though they
arise from projects or programs initiated
prior to enactment of the Act on Jan-
uary 1, 1970. Where it is not practicable
to reassess the basic course of action, it
is still important that further incre-
mental major actions be shaped so as to
minimize adverse environmental conse-
quences. It is also important in further
action that account be taken of environ-
