Title: Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act and Assessing the Environmental Effects Abroad of EPA Actions 
Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency has taken direct final action on its revisions to “Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act and Assessing the Effects Abroad of EPA Actions.” These revisions made two minor, technical corrections to the regulations. The first change corrected the number of extraordinary circumstances from 14 to 10, as referenced at 40 CFR part 6.204 (f)(2)(vi). The second change clarified the language in a categorical exclusion (found at 40 CFR part 6.204 (a)(2)(ii)) to include vacant land. Neither of these changes affects the substantive conditions of the regulations. The rule will be effective April 6, 2009.
