Title: Departmental Policies, Responsibilities, and Procedures for Protection and Enhancement of Environmental Quality (FR-2206) 
Abstract: This rule streamlines existing regulations and proposes to address the following: (1) the Secretary's priorities for an interpretation of the Department's mission, by "helping people create communities of opportunities" through the promotion of good design, public amenities, and quality environments within improvements being proposed to the HUD process of environmental review and decisionmaking; (2) the Department's reorganization, which eliminates the ten Regional Offices, thereby affecting environmental responsibilities assigned to Regional and Field personnel by part 50; (3) the legislative and executive authorizations covering Federal-wide environmental policy and compliance applicable to new and existing HUD programs for which the Department retains the Federal environmental review responsibility under part 50; and (4) the updating of existing provisions of this part that need to be clarified, based on HUD's experience, since this part was originally issued. The rule would reduce regulatory burdens and procedural details consistent with environmental laws and other authorities and would assure policy consistency for all HUD programs.
