Title: Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 
Abstract:

NASA is revising its policy and procedures for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations. These proposed amendments would update procedures contained in the Agency’s current regulation at 14 CFR subpart 1216.3, Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, to: align with CEQ’s regulations for Federal agencies to implement NEPA that published on July 16, 2020 [85 FR 43304]; incorporate updates based on the Agency’s review of its Categorical Exclusions (CatExs) and inputs from CEQ; and streamline the NEPA process to better support NASA’s evolving mission.
