Title: Water Resource Policies and Authorities: Corps of Engineers Participation in Improvements for Environmental Quality | |
Abstract:
The existing regulation was published 45 FR 28714, April 30, 1980 and provides guidance for the measurement and consideration of Environmental Quality (EQ) effects in planning a proposed water resource project. The existing regulation is redundant and out of date. The same content for implementation guidance and procedures for use of the EQ account, as well as the other accounts described in the Principles for Water and Related Land Resources Implementation Studies, related to the formulation of recommended plans for water resources development projects, are now found in ER 1105-2-100. In addition, environmental evaluation is required under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4347), and is implemented by the Corps pursuant to 33 CFR 230. The final rule action is largely administrative in nature, removing unnecessary and outdated CFR text which will provide clarity and reduce confusion to the public. The rule does not place a burden on the public, therefore its repeal does not provide a burden reduction or cost savings. The ER 1105-2-100 guidance can be found online for the public at: https://www.publications.usace.army.mil/Portals/76/Publications/EngineerRegulations/ER_1105-2-100.pdf?ver=2013-09-08-233404-497. This removal supports a recommendation of the DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force. |
