This final rule amends the regulations governing the format used for conducting the required environmental reviews for HUD program and policy actions. The rule gives the Departmental Environmental Clearance Officer (DECO) the authority to create one standardized format for use in both part 50 and part 58 reviews and authorize exceptions, eliminating unnecessary distinctions between reviews completed by HUD employees and responsible entities. This rule also makes a technical amendment to make HUD's environmental assessment procedures consistent with those provided by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ).
