National Environmental Policy Acts (NEPA)
Assessment
The
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies
to integrate environmental values into their decision making
processes by considering the environmental impacts of their proposed
actions and reasonable alternatives to those actions. To meet this
requirement, federal agencies prepare a detailed statement known as
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). EPA reviews and comments on
EISs prepared by other federal agencies, maintains a national filing
system for all EISs, and assures that its own actions comply with
NEPA.
NEPA declares it a national policy to encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and the environment and promote efforts to better understand and prevent damage to ecological systems and natural resources important to the nation. Agencies are required to prepare a detailed environmental impact statement for any major federal action significantly affecting the environment. The Act also establishes the Council on Environmental Quality to review government policies and programs for conformity with NEPA.
