National Environmental Policy Act
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was the first major environmental law in the United States and established national environmental policies for the country. NEPA mandates federal agencies to consider the impacts of their activities-including the issuance of federal permits, Federal funding, and other federal agency actions-on the environment, and to ensure that information about these environmental impacts is available to the public before final decisions are made. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) promulgates regulations that require agencies to create their own NEPA implementing procedures. These procedures must meet the CEQ standard while reflecting each agency's unique mandate and mission. Consequently, NEPA procedures vary from agency to agency.
