40 CFR 1500.5 - Reducing delay.
§ 1500.5
Reducing delay.
Agencies shall reduce delay by:
(b)
Emphasizing interagency cooperation before the environmental impact statement is prepared, rather than submission of adversary comments on a completed document ( § 1501.6 ).
(d)
Using the scoping process for an early identification of what are and what are not the real issues ( § 1501.7 ).
(e)
Establishing appropriate time limits for the environmental impact statement process ( §§ 1501.7(b)(2) and 1501.8 ).
(g)
Integrating NEPA requirements with other environmental review and consultation requirements ( § 1502.25 ).
(h)
Eliminating duplication with State and local procedures by providing for joint preparation ( § 1506.2) and with other Federal procedures by providing that an agency may adopt appropriate environmental documents prepared by another agency ( § 1506.3 ).
(k)
Using categorical exclusions to define categories of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment ( § 1508.4) and which are therefore exempt from requirements to prepare an environmental impact statement.
(l)
Using a finding of no significant impact when an action not otherwise excluded will not have a significant effect on the human environment ( § 1508.13) and is therefore exempt from requirements to prepare an environmental impact statement.
