Title: ●Compliance With NEPA 
Abstract: The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) requires that Federal agencies evaluate the impact that Federal actions have on the quality of the human environment. In addition, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issues guidance regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500 to 1508). NRCS is proposing to amend its existing NEPA compliance regulations to create alignment with CEQ's guidance regulations.
