Finding of no significant impact
Finding of no significant impact means a document by a Federal agency briefly presenting the reasons why an action, not otherwise excluded ( 1508.4), will not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which an environmental impact statement therefore will not be prepared. It shall include the environmental assessment or a summary of it and shall note any other environmental documents related to it ( 1501.7(5)). If the assessment is included, the finding need not repeat any of the discussion in the assessment but may incorporate it by reference.
